Bag size is decided by volume, not weight, so two products of the same weight often need very different pouches.
Flower is light and takes up far more room than its weight suggests, so a bag sized on grams alone comes out too small. Pre-rolls and edibles are counted rather than poured, so tell us how many go in a pack. Aim to fill roughly 70 to 90 percent of capacity: any lower and the pouch looks half empty on shelf, any higher and it will not seal cleanly.
Takes about a minute. Not sure of the fill weight? Put one bag's worth in a ziplock and weigh it.

What brands ask us before their first cannabis run: minimums, barrier, sealing and what actually keeps the product the way you made it.
One hundred per design for stand-up pouches, flat pouches and pillow pouches, which covers eighth bags, pre-roll packs and most edible formats. Side gusset, quad seal and flat bottom bags start at 500 per design. The minimum comes from how the bag is constructed rather than what goes in it, and each SKU counts as its own design, because each carries different artwork and usually a different compliance panel. At 100 you can put a new strain on a dispensary shelf without committing to a year of packaging.
Yes. We offer a child-resistant zipper on flat pouches and on stand-up pouches. It is a certified closure rather than a stiff zip, which is what a dispensary buyer is really asking about when they ask how your pack opens. It goes onto the same bag you were already ordering, with the same print and the same barrier, so compliance does not cost you the look of the pack or a second SKU. Tell us the format on the quote and we specify it in from the start.
Yes. Cannabinoids and terpenes both degrade under light, and it happens on a lit dispensary shelf rather than in a dark warehouse. A metallized structure blocks the large majority of light and is our standard. Solid aluminum foil blocks it completely and is the honest answer when product sits for months. Clear film blocks none, and a window is a hole in the light barrier however good the rest of the bag is. Getting this right keeps the last pack in a batch as potent and aromatic as the first.
In, and cannabis is one of only a handful of products where the risk runs that way. If the bag lets moisture escape, flower dries out, trichomes go brittle and the smoke gets harsh, which is the complaint that costs you the repeat purchase. That makes the seal as important as the film. It also means a humidity pack only works if the bag itself holds moisture: in a weak film the pack spends itself against the outside air and the flower dries anyway.
Aroma is held by the barrier layer first and the closure second. A metallized or foil structure holds it well. A plain clear film does not, at any thickness, so a bag sold as smell proof on gauge alone is not telling you the whole story. The top has to be heat-sealed for any of it to hold. Done properly, the pack keeps the terpene profile where it belongs: discreet in transit, and still there when the customer opens it.
You can, and many brands do. We will quote what you ask for and put an opaque option beside it on the same quote, so you choose the trade rather than discover it. Clear costs you the light barrier entirely, and on a basic film most of the oxygen barrier. If you want visibility without the light cost, a good photograph on an opaque bag does the job. The shelf appeal stays, and so does the potency your lab result promised.
Design and prepress are free, and that includes placing warning symbols, license numbers, batch and lot panels and net weight on the right faces of the bag. Send us what your jurisdiction requires and we build it into the dieline and show you a proof before anything prints. That is what stops a whole run being unsellable over a panel in the wrong place. What we cannot do is tell you what your jurisdiction requires. The content of that panel stays with you.
Pre-rolls usually go into a long flat pouch, or a pillow pouch sized to the tube. Flower goes into a stand-up pouch or a flat pouch with a zipper so the customer can reclose it. Edibles follow the format of the candy itself: a pillow pouch for a single wrapped item, a stand-up pouch for a multipack. Stand-up, flat and pillow all start at 100 per design, so trialing a format across two SKUs is a 200-unit commitment rather than a season's worth of stock.
