In recent years, pre rolls have become some of the most popular items in the cannabis industry. Though convenient, pre roll packages can also be a major source of single-use plastic waste. As customers become more concerned about sustainability, eco-friendly alternatives to typical child-resistant pre roll tubes are projected to become more popular. Here, we’ve broken down the options for sustainable pre roll packaging.
What is Pre Roll Packaging?
Usually, pre roll marijuana packages are small plastic tubes. They can range from just big enough for a mini joint to large enough for a pre rolled king-size cone or even a blunt. They typically have resealable flip-top caps, screw-off lids, or sometimes corks.
Pre roll joint packages are tamper-evident and child-resistant to adhere to general packaging requirements. Many pre roll tubes are resealable and airtight, too.
Pre roll tubes can also be used to store vape cartridges and some disposable vapes, depending on their size and shape.
Why is Pre Roll Packaging Important?
First and foremost, pre roll joint packaging ensures the overall quality of the cannabis product. High-quality pre roll tubes keep the joint or blunt inside perfectly fresh and unblemished until it is bought and smoked. The airtight, smell-proof seal and tamper-evident marijuana packaging help to protect the quality and integrity of the pre roll itself
Pre roll packages also help keep consumers safe. Child-resistant packaging helps to ensure cannabis products won’t fall into the wrong hands. Pre roll tubes printed with health and safety information also give vital consumer information.
Finally, pre roll joint packaging allows brand leaders to make products stand out. Eye-catching custom labels, innovative design, and unique cannabis packaging materials will set your pre rolls ahead of the competition.

How to Choose the Best Sustainable Pre Roll Packaging for Your Business
Choosing the right sustainable packaging option for your pre rolls is essential. You must consider a few things to ensure you source the right cannabis packaging option for your cannabusiness.
First, you will need to consider the products that you are selling. Is your company known for generously sized blunts and pre rolls? Or do you emphasize convenience and offer smaller pre rolls? If you also manufacture cannabis cartridges or small disposable vapes, you can even use the same tubes for multiple product lines. Sana Packaging offers various containers for different-sized joints.
You will also need to consider your unique packaging and customization needs. What materials do you want to use in your manufacturing and packaging processes? What extra features do you need for your pre roll tubes? What state laws must you follow? Sana Packaging carries smell-proof products with many different options so you can find the perfect eco-friendly, child-resistant packaging solution for your cannabis business.
Finally, think about what you want the pre roll package to look like. Sana Packaging offers several customization options and works with domestic American producers to ensure fast turnarounds and consistent quality. We can help your pre rolls stand out with branding, colorful custom labeling, and eco-friendly packaging.
