1. Opaque, to discourage youth from buying
2. Child-resistant, to protect children in the buyer’s home
3. Clearly labeled to allow buyers to understand the THC and CBD potency, as well as to provide information about how the cannabis was grown.
Unfortunately, there is no standard labeling of hemp-based, compostable packaging. You may not be able to identify hemp packaging with a naked eye. Although some of it looks cloth-like, hemp packaging comes in a variety of textures, from hemp plastics to hemp papers.
However, if you’re looking to vote with your money by purchasing cannabis products in hemp packaging, there are some things you can look for. Often, these packages are labeled as being made with hemp. For example, Sana — a brand specializing in hemp packaging — labels their hemp plastics with the words “made from 100% plant-based hemp plastic.” Hemp plastics, like other plastics, are labeled with a resin identification code.
Other hemp packaging products, from hemp fabrics to hemp papers, are also labeled as being made from hemp. These products are even better for the environment than bioplastics, because unlike bioplastics — which will produce methane if they wind up in landfills — hemp paper and cloth products are fully recyclable and biodegradable, and even remove carbon dioxide from the environment.
Custom pre-roll packaging boxes are used for packaging pre-rolled joints. They are made from cardboard, and have a small opening at the top for a joint to be inserted. They also have a flap that can be opened up, and then closed to keep the joint in place.
The cannabis industry is in pursuit of environmental sustainability. There is a need to develop cannabis packaging materials that are plant-based, recyclable, or reusable. Economic circularity can provide the industry with maximum packaging sustainability. XD Packaging is a sustainable packaging company promoting a circular economy.

Compliant packaging and labeling can get tricky in a highly regulated industry like cannabis.
