As the sale and possession of Marijuana around the country becomes more commonplace, the industry that is evolving from this commerce is slowly finding its way through the challenges that surround unchartered mainstream business. One such area that is getting more attention is what does the packaging need to do to keep these restricted products out of the hands of minors? This is important because MMJ products, especially edibles, are very similar to other mainstream products like chocolate bars, candies, baked goods and other foodstuff; only they are infused with cannabis. The difference between the cannabis products and their everyday equivalent is if you take too much of a cannabis product, the result could mean a trip to the emergency room.

MMC Depot, a division of Central Bag & Burlap, has been a part of the packaging industry for 100 years, and has been supplying marijuana packaging since the first medical marijuana laws were passed more than ten years ago. The cannabis industry is just one of many industries where packaging is an integral part of a product’s display, sale and distribution. Other industries that Central Bag provides packaging to include grocery, restaurant, and snack food manufacturers, to name a few.

In most industries, product packaging is not a focal point of the product. However, with cannabis products, the right MMJ containers for storage and packaging thereof must be done in a particular way. The safety of children who might have access to the product is taken very seriously by state regulators, product manufacturers, and MMC Depot, and therefore all Marijuana for sale must be sold in child proof packaging that is, tamper resistant, opaque and clearly labeled with the contents.

Packaging companies that provide correct storage options will ensure that those who purchase the product will also benefit from it. At MMC Depot we create containers that can be resealed and air tight, which means that the integrity and potency of the product will last for a great deal longer than just being stored in your average plastic baggie.
