Packaging

The Packaging category at Simply Green holds packaging sold by the case: containers and glass jars for flower and extracts, pre-roll tubes, cartridge packaging for a filled 510 cartridge, and resealable storage bags. Every product page carries its capacity or length, its label area and its case size.

What the category holds

Bottles and jars. Child-resistant containers from 30 to 240 ml, plus 9 ml glass jars, round or square, in matte black, matte white or clear.
Tubes. Pre-roll tubes from 65 to 116 mm, with a child-resistant screw cap or a pop-top lid.
Cartridges and device packaging. A child-resistant container for a filled 510 cartridge up to 65 mm long, on a threaded holder.
Pouches and bags. Resealable odour-control bags in 3 sizes, 102 x 152 mm, 178 x 190 mm and 215 x 255 mm, boxed for resale.

How to choose

Start from what goes inside. Flower and extracts go in a container or a jar, 1 pre-roll in a tube, a filled 510 cartridge in cartridge packaging, finished goods on the shelf in a bag.
Containers and jars are chosen on capacity. By our own estimate, 30 ml holds about a gram of flower, 90 ml an eighth, 150 ml a quarter and 240 ml a half ounce. Fill weight changes with how dense and how dry the flower is, so work from the millilitre figure.
Tubes are chosen on length. 65, 100 and 115 mm come with a child-resistant cap, 98 and 116 mm with a pop-top. Each tube page gives the longest pre-roll it takes.
Decide whether you need child resistance. The child-resistant formats are the Chubby Gorilla containers, screw-cap tubes and cartridge packaging. The pop-top tubes, the glass jars and the bags are plain. Requirements differ by market, so check what yours asks for.
Check the label area against your artwork. Every container and tube lists its label area in millimetres. Where 2 sizes hold about the same it decides the choice: the 240 ml container takes a 157 x 110 mm panel, the 220 ml XL a 270 x 28 mm band.
Then the case size. Cases run from 20 pieces up to 500, and bags 6 or 12 to a box, so a format can be trialled before it goes on a line.

Closures

Child-resistant cap. Opens on a push and a turn together.
Tamper-evident band. Breaks off the cap on first opening and latches to the neck, so a customer can see the pack was opened.
Liner. A disc inside the cap that presses on the neck and seals in the odour. The pop-top tubes seal with a ring moulded into the lid and carry no band.
