Custom Cannabis Packaging
Introduction to Cannabis Packaging
Let’s face it—when you’re in the cannabis business, the packaging isn’t just an afterthought; it’s practically the first handshake with your customers. That’s why Hawk Packaging is all about bringing you custom cannabis packaging that speaks to your brand, protects your products, and maybe even raises a few eyebrows. Did you know the global cannabis market is valued at $38.19 billion in 2024? Not only that but JS Held expects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.6% from 2024 to 2028? That’s a lot of pre-roll tubes and Mylar bags, my friend. If your packaging doesn’t stand out, well, you might get lost in that green tidal wave.
Your Buds Deserve Better: Elevate Your Packaging Game
Cannabis Packaging for Your Brand
Stand Out in a Crowded Market
Picture this: your product sitting among 10 others on a crowded dispensary shelf. They all blend in, right? That’s where custom packaging steps in as the game-changer. With the right custom design, your product instantly grabs attention, making someone stop mid-scroll or shelf scan and think, “Now that’s cool—I’ve got to try it.” In a competitive cannabis market, the power of custom packaging to create a lasting first impression can be the difference between a sale or a pass.
Protecting Your Product’s Quality
Cannabis is as delicate as it is potent, and keeping those buds fresh and those edibles flavorful is essential. Custom packaging ensures that air, moisture, and sunlight stay out, preserving the integrity of your product. No one wants to open a dry pre-roll or stale gummy—that’s a fast way to lose a customer. Keep your cannabis in peak condition with packaging that locks in freshness and keeps your business thriving.

Types of Custom Cannabis Packaging
Stand-Up Pouches
If versatility had a name, it would be custom stand-up pouches. Perfect for everything from cannabis flowers to gummies, these pouches offer unbeatable protection and convenience.

Their durability ensures safe transport, and their customizable surface is a prime canvas for showcasing your brand’s identity in style.
Mylar Bags
These custom Mylar bags are the Fort Knox of cannabis packaging, locking out air and moisture while sealing in all the rich aromas and flavors. Ideal for preserving the potency and freshness of your flowers and edibles, custom Mylar bags ensure that your product stays top-shelf, even after it leaves the store.
Pre-Roll Tubes
To keep those pre-rolls fresh and secure, custom pre-roll tubes are a must. Whether you opt for plastic or glass, these tubes protect your product without sacrificing style, offering the right mix of function and flair for any cannabis brand.
