Best Blunt Tube Packaging for Your Pre-Rolled Blunts
Posted by Custom Cones USA on Nov 8th 2023
While it is almost certainly the quality and price of your product that keeps bringing customers back to your brand, the importance of blunt tube packaging choices cannot be overlooked. When it comes to pre-rolled blunts, the right blunt packaging options should reflect and enhance your brand image, as well as maintain the quality and freshness of your blunts.
While vital to success in the retail market, cannabis packaging is always a complex topic. This notion is only heightened with blunts. Not only must your pre-roll packaging meet local compliance laws and appeal to customers, but it must also protect the hemp blunt wraps inside.
Blunts are a great way to expand your pre-roll product line and capture the attention of a dedicated customer base. And quality blunt packaging is essential for bridging the gap between dispensary store shelves and customers.
What Materials Are Best for Blunt Tube Packaging?
Because pre-roll blunts are often made with moisture-sensitive material like hemp wrap and require careful environmental control, only a handful of materials work well for blunt tubes.
Glass Pre-Roll Tubes for Blunts
Glass tubes provide a strong oxygen and moisture barrier that keeps blunt wraps and cannabis flower fresh. Consumers also associate glass blunt tubes with a premium product and allow them to see your pre-roll blunt, often a selling point.
There are several cap styles available for glass blunt tubes. Air-tight screw caps will do the best job of keeping moisture and oxygen at bay. While there are many cork cap options available, they do not provide a good seal and are not the best choice for blunts. Please note, not all cap options are child-resistant, though many are, such as the push-and-turn style cap, so be sure to check your state regulations before deciding on the best packaging for your blunts and brand.
Plastic Pre-Roll Tubes for Blunts
Plastic blunt tubes are a more affordable option for pre-roll blunt packaging. However, most aren’t always as effective as glass tubes for providing an airtight seal, though the J-line plastic pop top tubes, available in multiple sizes and colors, do provide an airtight option. When it comes to air-tightness – nothing is perfectly airtight, so it comes down to the level of how air-tight the packaging is.
Custom Cones USA has multiple plastic blunt tube options, including both screw top and pop top choices. As seen with glass tubes, screw tops offer a better seal as well as child-resistant options to meet compliance laws.
What are Some Popular Trends in the Blunt Tube Packaging Market?
With many trends occurring in the blunt market, those looking for blunt tube packaging are aiming to blend basic functionality with market innovation.
Due to the fragile nature of the hemp wraps often used in pre-roll blunts, producers are moving away from pop-top plastic tubes and toward glass tubes. Not only do glass tubes offer better protection, but they are the ideal choice among companies looking to stand out with high-quality products and packaging.
Some manufacturers have opted for screw-top plastic tubes. These plastic tubes look like glass and offer a more premium experience than pop tops at a cheaper price point. Plastic tubes are also cheaper to ship than glass because they are lighter and less fragile.
Multi-packs are also growing in popularity among producers and consumers. When it comes time to sell your blunts at dispensaries, display boxes are a popular way to help your pre-roll tubes stand out with an exclusive look. Custom Cones USA can easily customize display boxes to fit any needs.
Innovative Blunt Packaging Options to Make Your Pre-Rolls Stand Out
There are a number of innovative new pre-roll blunt packaging choices you can implement to enhance your brand image. Popular choices for blunts among Custom Cones USA clients include:
- Pop-top plastic tubes are our most popular bulk option
- Screw-top plastic and glass are our top luxury choices
- High-end brands often add special finishes to blunt tubes
- Custom labels are used to convey branding and product info
- Packaging tubes with humidity packs to ensure freshness
As always, blunt brands appeal to customers with unique packaging design elements, colors, and graphics. Choose tube colors or caps that match your branding or have go all-out and Pantone Color Match a tube or cap to your brand. Customized labels are also a great way to grab a customer’s attention among the many pre-roll blunt tube packaging options.
Compliant and Creative Packaging Options for Blunt Tubes
Many blunt manufactures in the market today strive to balance compliance with creativity in their pre-roll packaging.
Since packaging laws vary in each state market, your options for innovation and creativity will largely hinge on local regulations. For example, Custom Cones USA offers high-quality matte white and black tubes for states like Michigan and Maine that require opaque pre-roll packaging.
We also sell several types of child-resistant caps with accompanying documentation to ensure your blunt products stay compliant with local regulations. When it comes to labeling, Custom Cones USA will work legal warnings into the design to avoid drawing attention away from branding. We also sell tamper-evident stickers for blunt tubes that offer a nice extra touch.
What Factors Should Pre-Roll Companies Consider for Blunt Tube Packaging?
There are some important factors that your company should consider for pre-roll packaging. At the very most basic level, you should assess whether blunts are better sold individually or within multi-packs. No matter what, labels must always be clear and compliant.
Remember, packaging conveys a message about product quality. Customers will associate glass tubes with premium products, while plastic pop tops generally signal that a product is more budget-friendly. In either case, more expensive packaging options like glass tubes will impact your bottom line.
The opacity of the blunt tube in question is another important consideration. Once again, be sure to check local compliance laws, as some states require opaque tubes. But if they are legal to use, customers often prefer a clear tube so they can see what they are buying.
Additionally, since infused blunt products are always considered a premium item, they should be clearly identified with a custom label and higher-end packaging choice.
What are the Best Practices for Packaging and Storing Blunts in Tubes?
There are some special practices you must consider to preserve pre-rolled blunts after they are packaged in tubes.
The first important step is to find the right size tube for your product to keep it from shifting and getting damaged during transport. Since light can damage trichomes and blunt wraps, opaque tubes can offer another line of defense. Display boxes also offer some extra functionality by protecting blunts from light damage, while also insulating tubes to keep them from jostling during transport.
Pre-rolled blunts should be packaged immediately in air tight tubes after they are filled. And the addition of humidity packs can ensure blunts stay at the right moisture levels to prevent the wraps from degrading. Finally, always store your pre-roll blunts in a climate-controlled area for safekeeping.
