Cannabis Products Work Best with Packaging Automation

Automated packaging began in 1962, so the packaging industry has about a 60-year head start on developing interchangeable packaging processes for a variety of products. And because modern cannabis products resemble items that have been packaged using automation, cannabis packaging equipment has already been created! It is almost identical to applications that have already been undertaken, tested, and verified.

With the recreational cannabis industry exploding, creating automated packaging systems for cannabis products is mandatory! Manual packaging won’t be enough for any business to keep up. Not only are manual packaging processes expensive, time-consuming and unreliable, but packaging inaccuracies in the heavily regulated drug industry can be life or death for a business. 

New Jersey alone, has several technical requirements for the packaging cannabis products such as:

• • • • • The product must be sold in an opaque package so that it may not be viewed.
        • The package must be child-resistant “special packaging.” 
        • Products are to be packaged in accordance with the “Poison Prevention Act of 1970.” 
        • New Jersey operators should look for a CR certificate from packaging providers.
        • And about 216 more rules!

The machine type recommended largely depends upon your package format. Whether you will need flexible packagings like bags, feeders, stick packs, and pouches, we can supply it. Our vendors and in-house team both have all the inventory needed to support any cannabis manufacturing facility.

Cannabis Packaging & Labeling Machinery Recommendations: 

Pack Leader USA

Pack Leader USA has become a leader in cannabis labeling equipment. Their machines can handle various container types. Whether you’re packaging your products in bags, jars, or even pop-top containers, they have a labeling solution for you. Not only are their labeling machines for all different styles of containers, but there are also convenient tabletop options and fully automated inline options to fit any scale of production.

The ELF-20 is a tabletop small batch machine whose best use is for small operations. It can be moved easily, so you can set up exactly where you’d like. It can be positioned on a tabletop or bench or moved in-line for automatic or semi-automatic applications.

For larger operations try the PRO-215. It is the top-of-the-line automatic labeler designed for the highest capacity production runs. Applying labels to the top and bottom of products is built into the inline PRO-215’s two-side apply design. The PRO-215 clamshell labeler also comes as a standard feature with our custom split-belt-designed conveyor system. This allows easy placement on the front, top, and bottom with one label.

Pac Machinery

The FW 350T is an entry-level machine with a high-performance packaging system small enough to fit on a tabletop! The FW 350T flow wrapper is the perfect choice for new applications or for increasing your capacity. A product is fed into the flow wrapper either manually or automatically. This versatile machine can achieve speeds of up to 60 packages per minute!

The horizontal flow wrapper is ideal for suppliers of products that must be packaged individually. This includes candies and confections, bakery, and more. A smart and efficient way to package cannabis edibles like gummies, candies, cookies, and snacks.
