Custom Cannabis Flower Packaging & Flower Boxes
Flower is the one product in this category where the customer would really rather see and smell what they are buying, and in most states they cannot do either through the pack. So the cannabis flower box has to sell the strain on print alone while keeping the product fresh inside. We print a lot of cannabis flower packaging at ZEE Packaging and those two demands pull against each other constantly.
Freshness Is What You Are Protecting
Terpene loss and moisture drift ruin flower faster than anything else.
- Glass jar or mylar inside, board alone holds nothing in
- Humidity pack well built into the insert so it stays put
- Light degrades cannabinoids, so opaque beats clear every time
- Tight closure rather than a loose tuck flap
- Coated stock, terpene residue marks bare kraft badly
- Never leave the jar rattling inside cannabis flower packaging
Most quality complaints that get traced back to packaging are moisture related, not damage related.
The Panel Does The Selling
Since nobody can open it, the cannabis flower box carries the whole pitch.
- Strain name large, it is the primary buying decision
- Indica, sativa or hybrid clearly marked
- THC and CBD percentage, buyers compare on this
- Dominant terpene listed, more shoppers look for this now
- Weight in grams and ounces
- Harvest and packaged date
- Batch number, universal symbol and barcode with quiet zone
Our prepress team checks it all against the dieline so nothing gets trimmed at the edge. We print what you supply, never the compliance wording itself.
- Jar sleeve carton the most ordered cannabis flower packaging format
- Sliding drawer with CR lock child resistant cannabis flower box
- Tuck end over a mylar bag lower cost, adds shelf face
- Rigid two piece premium eighth and top shelf range
- Hinged lid flip top reusable, popular with pre pack
- Corrugated shipper bulk cannabis flower packaging to dispensary
Sizes We Print Regular
Every cannabis flower box is built to your container, though these run often:
- 2.5" x 2.5" x 3" for a 3.5g jar
- 3" x 3" x 3.5" for a 7g cannabis flower box
- 3.5" x 3.5" x 4.5" for a 14g jar
- 4" x 4" x 5" for a 28g container
- 4" x 3" x 1" for a mylar sleeve carton
- 8" x 6" x 4" for a multi strain cannabis flower packaging set
Measure the jar with the lid on and tell us if a humidity pack goes in.
Board And Build
- SBS C1S coated, our default for a printed cannabis flower box
- 18pt minimum, 20pt to 24pt on 14g and above
- Rigid greyboard 36pt for top shelf range
- Kraft board where a natural grow story suits the brand
- Corrugated E flute for the bulk shipper
- Die cut cradle so the jar sits still
Glass is heavier than clients expect. Thin board bows at the base within days on a dispensary shelf.
Finish Options
- Soft touch lamination, most requested in premium cannabis flower packaging
- Matte film with spot UV over the strain name
- Foil stamping, holographic sells strongly in this category
- Blind deboss, quiet and it looks expensive
- Printed inner flap with terpene and grow detail
- Window patch only where your state permits it
Materials With Less Impact
- Recycled kraft cannabis flower box with no lamination
- FSC certified board, certificate on request
- Soy based ink through the run
- Paperboard cradle instead of foam
- Compostable film where a window is allowed
- Right sized cannabis flower packaging so you ship less air

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the carton keep flower fresh?
Not on its own. A jar or mylar does the sealing, the cannabis flower packaging protects from light and handling.
Do you offer child resistant formats?
Yes, mainly sliding drawer with a lock. Requirements differ by state so tell us where you sell first.
Can we have a window?
Only where your state allows it, and even then light will degrade the flower. We usually advise against it.
Should we print harvest date or packaged date?
Both if you can. Leave variable space for coding rather than printing a fixed date on the run.
Kraft or white board?
Kraft suits a craft grow story, though colour print duller. White SBS where strain artwork needs to be vivid.
Can you colour code strains?
Yes and we recommend it. One dieline, different panel colour, so the range reads as a family.
How much does a cannabis flower box cost?
Rough estimate is $0.28 to $0.80 per unit for a jar sleeve carton, $0.60 to $1.50 for a CR drawer format and $2.40 to $5.80 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.
