Some Useful Ways for Packaging the CBD Content

by Martin B. · January 20, 2021

Cannabinoids refer to compounds that account for the vast majority of marijuana’s healing properties. Two of the most popular cannabinoids are cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). On the other hand, terpenes mostly give cannabinoids their distinctive tastes and flavors. The demand for CBD is quite high nowadays. Therefore, packaging grain as a business is a profitable and on-demand business. Moreover, the equipment used for filling and packaging is suitable for packaging bulk Custom printed CBD boxes.

Determining the Assortment

Different types of CBD products will require specific packaging equipment. Therefore, first of all, you need to decide on the range of goods. It is best to buy equipment for packaging 3-4 types of CBD products, which are the most popular on the market. In this case, you will ensure your business against possible crop failures and periods of production downtime.

From a business development perspective, the packaging of CBD products can be outlined both in large packages and in portions.

Business Premises

According to the most conservative estimates, a business will require at least 100 square meters and two workers. In this case, the room should be zoned in:

Packaging workshop (15-20 m²);
Deposit (40-60 m²);
Bathroom (5 m²).

In the workshop where the filling equipment is installed, the walls are painted with water-based paint at a height of 1.8 m, a strong hood is installed. In addition, the camera must be protected from rodents. Due to the high dust content, the spaces are classified as hazardous to fire, therefore special attention must be paid to fire safety. All gas and water pipes, as well as electrical cables, are covered with special covers.

Production Requirements

Packaging for bulk products must comply with government rules. Accordingly, the packaging of bulk products can be made of polyethylene or other paper-based materials with a polymer layer. Packing of bulk CBD products out of the carton is also allowed. For transport, plywood or plank boxes are used, as well as corrugated boxes. Logistics is carried out by any type of transport, but only in a closed-form.

How to optimize CBD packaging

Compared to packaging that has a protective role, the products are by far the best resources and have an inherited value. On the other hand, losses of the product due to non-performing packaging can have adverse effects on the environment to a greater extent than the excessive reduction of the amount of packaging used.

It is true that at the industry level there is the possibility to optimize the packaging and thus increase its contribution to the overall sustainability of the packaged product. In order to contribute positively to the sustainability of the product, the packaging must be:

Created entirely with the product in order to optimize the overall environmental performance;
Made of materials with a source of safe origin;
Manufactured using appropriate production technologies;
Recoverable efficiently after use;
Extracted, manufactured, transported, and recycled using renewable energy;

When these principles are observed, the impact of the packaging is minimized and its benefits are maximized.

How to Influence Sale through Packaging

Proper packaging of CBD products is a major factor that influences the condition of the package at the end of delivery. Don’t forget to choose the right packaging materials and packaging methods for the products to be delivered, dampen them properly and effectively seal the box used. These practices help prevent damage to the goods during shipment, can save you money, and will save you from any worries during transport.

Use of Antibiotic Film

An antibiotic film in the form of sheets or rolls is commonly used in supermarkets. The film possesses zeolites fixed by metal bonds on the inner surface which, in contact with air, enters the package destroying any microbial form. Other preservation systems include paper coated with sorbents and parchment paper containing mercury compounds and subsequently treated with oxidized glucose.

Ethanol Releases, Ethylene Absorbers, Thermal Insulation

Ethanol emitters are enclosed in capsules containing 55% ethyl alcohol for CBD. The method is based on the controlled emission of ethanol in the gaseous form inside the package, which is then deposited on the surface of the CBD.
