A Quick Guide to Features for Your Cannabis and E-Liquid Packaging

Successful product packaging depends on more than just graphic design—there are many other factors at play that can make or break your packaging. The packaging world can be complex, so we’ve sorted our many options and offerings into two categories—functional and aesthetic—so you can quickly figure out how to help your product sell.

Functional: Hanger Boxes, Windows, and Dividers/Inserts

Hanger boxes are often crucial for businesses selling their products in brick-and-mortar establishments. We offer multiple styles of hanging boxes which all boost the functionality of your product packaging.

In many cases, vape cartridge packaging can benefit from a window of some kind that shows off your cartridge. One of our box styles for vape cartridges features a die-cut window covered with Mylar (plastic) to keep your vape cartridge secure, while another style we carry features angled cuts that when pushed inward simultaneously act as a holder and a window for your cartridge.

If you’re interested in offering multi-packs or any type of packaging housing different product flavors or varieties, we offer boxes with built-in dividers that can fit multiple items of identical dimensions in separate compartments. We also offer cardboard inserts for vape cartridges, which are ideal for holding them securely in certain box styles and can enhance the unboxing experience.

Aesthetic: Surface Finishes, Foils, and Embossing

Although packaging design often emphasizes visual appeal, having pleasing texture can also be an important factor in purchasing decisions and affect customers’ perceptions about your brand. We offer a wide variety of surface finishes from the utilitarian Overall Gloss Aqueous Coating common in many industries to textured Matte UV Coatings and the coveted Soft-Touch Lamination that offers the seductive velvety feel common in high-end products.

Foils are metallic accents that are typically overlaid over design elements. They catch the light well and can add either a fun or a luxurious element to your design depending on how it’s used. We offer them in silver, gold, and almost any color you can think of!

We also offer embossing, which is often used to create raised logos, lettering, or product images. Embossing lends an undeniable textural appeal to packaging which can be taken further with foils or Spot Gloss UVs.

We’re committed to giving you stunning cannabis and e-liquid packaging that’ll make you and your customers smile. Interested in using some of these features for your next packaging run? Just shoot us an email or use our online form!
