Custom Cannabis Concentrate Packaging & Concentrate Boxes
Concentrates are the highest value thing per gram in the whole dispensary, and the carton around them is usually the smallest we print. A gram jar of live resin might retail for more than a bottle of whisky, so the cannabis concentrate packaging has to carry that price point on a panel the size of a stamp. We print a fair amount of it at ZEE Packaging and this is how we work through it.
The cannabis concentrate box is small but the buyer expects it to feel considered.
- Rigid or heavy caliper board, weight in the hand does a lot at this size
- Soft touch or blind deboss reads premium even on a two inch carton
- Foil detail works beautifully on small panels, better than large print
- Print the inside, at this size it gets seen every time
- Snug fit so the jar does not rattle, rattle kills the premium feel instantly
- Consistent design across strains so the range reads as a family
Compliance On Almost No Space
Every cannabis concentrate box has to carry a lot on very little surface.
- THC and CBD percentage, plus total mg
- Strain name and extraction method
- Batch or lot number with space for variable coding
- Test date and lab name
- Universal symbol, placement varies by state so check first
- Child resistant certification where the market requires it
- Barcode with proper quiet zone
Our prepress team checks it all against the dieline so nothing gets trimmed at the edge. We print what you supply and never draft the legal wording.
- Small tuck end carton with cradle the everyday cannabis concentrate packaging
- Sliding drawer with CR lock child resistant concentrate box
- Rigid two piece lid and base premium and collector range
- Sleeve over a tray smart at a lower cost than rigid
- Multipack carton for a strain set or variety pack
- Corrugated mailer bulk cannabis concentrate packaging for dispensary supply
Sizes We Print Regularly
Every cannabis concentrate box is built to your container, but these run often:
- 2" x 2" x 1" for a 5ml glass concentrate jar
- 2.5" x 2.5" x 1.25" for a 9ml jar
- 1.5" x 1.5" x 1" for a silicone container
- 3" x 2" x 1" for a card and jar combo
- 4" x 3" x 1.5" for a three jar variety pack
- 5" x 4" x 2" for a six jar cannabis concentrate packaging set
Measure the jar with the lid on, and tell us if a dab tool goes in too.
Board And Fit
- Rigid greyboard 36pt or 48pt for the premium end
- SBS C1S at 18pt to 24pt for standard printed cartons
- Kraft board where a natural look suits the brand
- Corrugated E flute for the bulk shipper
- Die cut cradle so the jar sits centred and still
- Coated stock, terpene residue marks uncoated board badly
Finish Options
- Soft touch lamination, the most requested in premium cannabis concentrate packaging
- Matte film with spot UV over the logo
- Foil stamping, holographic sells very well in this category
- Blind deboss, quiet and it looks expensive
- Printed inner flap with strain and terpene detail
- Window patch only where regulation allows
Materials With Less Impact

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer child resistant formats?
We do, mainly sliding drawers with a lock. Certification requirements differ by state so tell us where you sell.
Will terpenes damage the printed carton?
On uncoated board yes, residue marks it. Coated stock and a cradle keep the jar off the print entirely.
How do we make a tiny box feel premium?
Weight and texture. Rigid board with soft touch and a small foil detail beats a big colourful print every time at this size.
Can you fit all the required copy on?
Usually, with the inner flap taking overflow and a QR handling test data. We plan that at dieline stage.
How much is a box of cannabis concentrate?
Rough estimate is $0.20 to $0.60 per unit for a small tuck carton, $0.55 to $1.40 for a CR drawer format and $1.60 to $4.00 for rigid at moderate quantity. Foil and cradle move it. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for an exact quote.
Do you supply the jar or dab tool?
No, we make cartons only. You source those, but we size the cannabis concentrate packaging around whatever you use.
Can you colour code by strain?
Yes and we recommend it. One dieline, different panel colours, so the range reads together on shelf.
