As California marijuana entrepreneurs become established, expertise in cannabis packaging design and production is increasingly in demand.

Marijuana businesses must comply with state laws governing the packaging of their product. At the same time, packaging must also appeal to consumers, many of whom may be buying pot for the first time.

A Glimpse at the State’s Cannabis Packaging Laws

Requirements drawn up by California’s new “Office of Manufactured Cannabis Safety” mandates that all packaging must:

• Be see-through.
• Not imply the product is candy. It’s forbidden to imitate packaging for products typically marketed to children.
• Be resealable, if it contains more than one serving.
• List the product’s ingredients.
• Contain specific statements, including “Keep out of the Reach of Children,” “This Product May Impair the Ability to Drive or Operate Machinery,” and “If Pregnant or Breastfeeding, Consult a Physician Prior to Use”.
• Include instructions for use.
• Discourage tampering by being “tamper-obvious”.
• Be child-resistant.
• Include on the label the amount of sodium, sugar, carbohydrates, and fat per serving, if the product is edible.
