Cannabis flower packaging is the printed outer carton or sleeve that holds a jar, tin or bag of flower and carries the brand on a dispensary shelf. TBPB prints it to your container’s dimensions with no minimum order, and if you bring a written quote for the same specs, we beat it.
What this page covers, and what it does not
Most flower is sold in a primary container such as a glass jar, a tin or a sealed bag, and the outer carton sits around it. This page is about that outer layer: the folding carton, the sleeve or the display box. It is a branding and presentation piece, and it gives you a large printed surface for strain names, cannabinoid panels and a logo. It is not a child-resistant closure by itself, and TBPB does not certify child-resistance. Whether your container and carton combination meets your state’s rules is something to confirm before ordering.
Sizing by weight
Flower is sold in set weights, and the most common retail sizes are an eighth (3.5 grams), a quarter (7 grams), a half ounce (14 grams) and an ounce (28 grams). The box does not depend on weight directly. It depends on the container you use. Measure the jar or tin at its widest point and its full height with the lid on, then add about 1/8 inch per side. Bags need a different approach: stand the filled bag upright and measure the thickest part, since a bag grows fatter after it is filled.
Carton, sleeve or display
A tuck-end carton protects a jar well and stacks on a shelf. A sleeve with an open end is lighter and lets a clear jar show through, which suits premium flower where bud appearance sells it. A display-style box with a window or a lowered front is used for counter placement and for retailers that want to see the product before opening. Choose the carton if the product will sit in a drawer or ship to a retailer, and the sleeve if visual appeal matters most.
Board, print and finishing
Folding-carton paperboard in the 16 to 24 pt range is typical. Rigid cartons are possible for high-end lines, but they are a different construction, so ask us if you want one. Full-colour CMYK carries strain artwork, while Pantone matching keeps your brand colour steady across batches. Matte or soft-touch coating gives a quiet, premium feel, and foil or spot UV on a logo or strain name draws the eye. Add an inner insert if a jar needs to be held in place.
Labels for cannabis are regulated state by state, covering warnings, THC statements, batch and testing details, and universal symbols. These are your responsibility. TBPB prints the artwork you supply, so check your copy against your state’s current guidance before approving the proof.

If your range includes pre-rolls, pre-roll tube packaging is the matching piece. Retailers who want counter space can use CBD display boxes, and a jar can be held steady with custom foam inserts. The base carton style is the tuck top box, and the wider CBD packaging range covers more.
Send the container dimensions and the quantity, even if it is one carton, and TBPB will draw the dieline and quote it.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum order for cannabis flower packaging?
No. There is no minimum order, so a new brand can print a small test run for a single strain or a larger batch for a full line. The price-beat guarantee applies at any quantity.
Is this packaging child-resistant?
The printed carton is a branding and presentation layer. TBPB does not certify child-resistance. Whether your container and carton meet your state rules is something to confirm with your own regulatory adviser before you order.
What size box do I need for an eighth of flower?
It depends on the jar, tin or bag you use, not the weight alone. Measure the container at its widest point and full height with the lid on, and add about 1/8 inch per side. Send those numbers and TBPB draws the dieline.
Should I choose a carton or a sleeve?
A tuck-end carton protects a jar and stacks neatly for storage or shipping. A sleeve is lighter and lets a clear jar show through, which helps when bud appearance sells the product. Pick by where the product will spend its time.
Does TBPB add the required cannabis warnings?
No. TBPB prints the artwork you supply. Cannabis labelling is regulated state by state, covering warnings, symbols and testing details. Check your copy against your current state guidance before approving the proof.
Can I print the inside of the carton?
Yes. Full-colour CMYK can run on the outside, inside or both. Inside print is useful for strain stories, usage notes or a pattern that appears when the box is opened. Mention it when you request the quote so it is included.
