Custom Pre-Roll Tubes

High quality pre-rolls deserve high-quality packaging. But high-quality pre-roll packaging is not enough in the modern, competitive pre-roll marketplace.

With thousands of brands competing for their slice of the $3.6 billion pre-roll category, how do you make sure your products stand out among the rest of the noise on dispensary shelves?

Easy: Customize your pre-roll tubes so consumers notice your branding and message and make your pre-rolls the ones they reach for.

Consumers tell us that brand is the third-most important factor when they buy pre-rolls (behind potency and price), so it’s more important than ever that your branding stands out.

But there are many levels of customization available for pre-roll brands and their packaging. So how can you customize your pre-roll tube packaging for maximum impact?

Every decision is an opportunity.

Pre-Roll Tube Materials

The first choice that needs to be made is your pre-roll tube material type and size. Even this seemingly simple decision is part of your overall marketing and branding as it tells your customers something about your brand.

There are plastic pre-roll tubes in multiple colors and styles, glass pre-roll tubes and a whole class of eco-friendly pre-roll tubes including biodegradable, compostable and recycled ocean plastic.

Finding the material that speaks to your brand’s messaging is an easy way to begin customizing your pre-roll tubes.

Plastic Pop-Top Doob Tubes

The single most common piece of pre-roll packaging is the plastic pop top “doob tube.”

The plastic pop top tube is familiar, functional and inexpensive. It is also child-resistant and portable. It's the industry standard for a reason.

But it also might be the most customizable piece of pre-roll packaging, beginning with color. Plastic pop-top doob tubes come in multiple standard colors and even the ability to pantone match your brand’s specific color scheme.

Pop-top plastic pre-tubes come in black, white, silver, gold, green, orange, red, blue, pink purple and more, including clear. They come in multiple lengths and widths, so they are perfect for singles as well as multipacks of any size pre-roll.

And of course they can be further customized with custom labels.

Other Custom Plastic Pre-Roll Tubes

For pre-roll brands looking for something a little different, there are a wide variety of non-pop top plastic tube options, both child resistant and not.

Clear plastic pre-roll tubes with twist caps are a great way to highlight a product without stepping all the way up to xxxfull glass packaging. They are available in both flat and rounded bottoms and have a higher-end look than the doob tube.

There are different colors and styles of caps available as well, which can be customized to meet your brand’s messaging. And like all of our pre-roll packaging, it is fully customizable with labels.

Custom Glass Pre-Roll Tubes

For some brands, plastic is not the right choice. If your brand leans more toward the top shelf, glass pre-roll tubes signify to customers that they are reaching for a premium smoking experience.

Higher-end pre-roll products or eye-catching options like kief-coated pre-rolls, blunts or the bright orange goji berry cone work best in clear glass pre-roll tubes, though clear is not the only option. Our glass pre-roll tubes also come in black and white, as well as more exciting options like silver and gold.

Glass is also a better barrier for air and moisture, protecting the pre-rolls inside from the elements so they stay as fresh for your customers as the day you packed them in the tube.

Custom labels also look great on a glass pre-roll tube and our design team can help create the perfect custom label for your brand.

Custom Eco-Friendly Pre-Roll Tubes

For brands that focus on their green nature or sustainability, the choice of custom pre-roll packaging is another opportunity to reinforce the overall message. Choosing eco-friendly or sustainable options is a great way to reach consumers that spend their dollars on earth-friendly brands and companies.

The simplest eco-friendly option is to put your pre-rolls in custom recycled ocean plastic pre-roll tubes. Available in multiple sizes, these pre-roll tubes are produced entirely from plastic collected and removed from ocean-bound waterways.

It's made completely out of high-density polyethylene, leading to its No. 5 recyclable classification. These are some of the most sustainably produced joint tubes on the market and are perfect for brands trying to join the movement towards a sustainable cannabis market.

They are available in black and white and are fully customizable with labels.

For brands looking to go even further, there are a handful of options, including pre-roll tubes made from paper. Certified child resistant and odor-tight, these paper tubes offer a sustainable option for both singles and multi-packs and are available in multiple sizes. They come in black and white and are, obviously, fully customizable. It’s a great, simple way to let customers know your brand priorities.

Next is the revolutionary EcoLine Pre-Roll Tube, the first ever home-compostable and fully biodegradable doob tube. These child-resistant pre-roll tubes are made from a blend of new technology that utilizes a blend of plant-based carbohydrates, glycerin and synthetic polymers.

Not only are they better for the environment, but they preserve the easy functionality of the child-resistant pop-top tubes. Available in black and natural cream, these tubes can be customized with custom labels or custom shrink sleeves.

Colors

When it comes to branding, color is one of the most important items. Think of Coca-Cola's iconic red or that perfect shade of Tiffany blue, for example.

Choosing the right color for your pre-roll packaging is the next step in customizing the right pre-roll tube for your brand.

For company’s looking for the most colorful impact, the plastic pop-top doob tube provides the widest selection of options. It’s available in every color of the rainbow and even a few that you won’t see after a rain shower, like gold and silver.

But even more exciting, the color of your plastic pop top doob tubes can be customized to meet your exact needs. In fact, we can pantone match the exact color you want and create a plastic pop top doob tube just for you. There’s no more customized pre-roll packaging than one in a custom color, after all.

Or choose a standard black or white background and let the custom label do the talking for your brand.

Whether you’re matching your brand colors to your packaging, using color to distinguish between strains or creating holiday pre-rolls in matching pre-roll packaging, Custom Cones USA has all the right choice for your pre-roll line.

Caps

For glass or other plastic pre-roll tubes, the best way to add a splash of color to create a custom pre-roll tube that stands out is with the cap you choose.

Whether you need child-resistant pre-roll packaging or not, there are multiple cap options, from smoother shapes and matte colors to harder edges and shiny alumite coating. Again, we have caps in every color of the rainbow as well as black, white and gold and even rose wood printed to give a more natural look.

For non-child resistant markets there are silicone caps that pop in and out, available in nine different colors: purple, green, blue, yellow, orange, pink, red, black and white.

Cork Caps

One final option for pre-roll caps is cork.

Though less customizable itself, the choice of a cork cap, be it classic, t-style or a champagne cork with a colored top, is itself a customization that tells people that it is probably a higher-end product.

Cork may not be right for every brand, but it is a great way to customize pre-roll tubes and stand out from many of the other pieces or pre-roll packaging in the game.

Labels

When it comes to customizing pre-roll tubes, the real power is in the label. Every pre-roll tube needs a label, so it is important to design your custom labels to be as eye-catching and informative about your brand as possible.

Custom Cones USA has the ability to custom size and print any label you need for your pre-roll packaging. We've even designed our custom printed labels to match the slight taper on industry standard pop-top tubes.

Choose custom colors, custom die-lines and customize the designs on the label itself to meet your exact needs. To further stand out, you have options from Glossy, Matte, Metallic Foil and UV Touch. The sky truly is the limit.

Our Pre-Roll Expert Design Team is ready to work with your brand to create the prefect custom label for your products, including the creation of custom 3D renders so you get a 360 degree look at exactly what your custom pre-roll tube will look like when it’s done.

And if you bundle custom labels with pre-rolled cones or any other pre-roll packaging, you can save even more money.

Custom Label Application

Once you have designed and printed your custom pre-roll tube labels, the next step is getting them on your pre-roll tubes. And applying them one-at-a-time can burn up your employee hours and slow down your entire production line.

That’s why Custom Cones USA offers a custom pre-roll label application service as well. Our highly-trained team not only ensures that your labels are perfectly placed on your custom pre-roll tubes, but then sends them to you open, so you they are ready to go out of the box and there’s no need to spend additional time opening each tube.

Shrink Sleeves

Another option for customizing your pre-roll tubes is the use of shrink sleeves, which provide end-to-end coverage for your branding and message AND serve as a tamper-evident seal.

Just like our custom labels, the Pre-Roll Experts on our Design Team will work with you to get the exact right look to drive home your brand’s message in an unforgettable way.

Custom Display Boxes and Acrylic Displays

Finally, once you have picked out the style, color, cap and label on your custom pre-roll tubes, the cherry on top is to package them in a custom display box, further reinforcing your messaging so customers know exactly who makes that high-quality pre-roll.

Once again, let your product shine on the shelf with custom branding including custom die cuts, gold foil and spot UV. These display boxes can be packed with pre-rolls and sent to the dispensary, increasing the likelihood of the store displaying your product where it is most visible if they don’t have to fill them at the store.

Additionally, these displays are sustainable and eco-friendly, made from 100% recyclable and biodegradable materials, which are designed to leave minimal impact on the planet.

For brands looking for something different, we offer acrylic dispenser displays that not only highlight the custom pre-roll tubes inside, but offer an easy way for customers and budtenders to grab your pre-rolls when someone asks for a recommendation.

The Acrylic Pre-Roll Display Dispenser comes in two stock sizes; one that holds up to 50 pre-roll tubes, and one that holds up to 100 pre-roll tubes. They are fully customizable, making it easy to show off your branding and solidify your brand culture to your consumers.
