After years of innovative development, Contempo Specialty Packaging has successfully created what the cannabis industry has been waiting for - the world's first 100% paperboard child-resistant cigarette-style box specifically designed for pre-roll joints.
Creating paperboard cannabis packaging that passes child-resistant testing has historically been challenging, but designing a child-resistant cigarette pack presented the greatest hurdle. Traditional cigarette boxes with flip-top designs often have vulnerable tear points during child-resistant testing, making them accessible to children.
Contempo's groundbreaking design solves this longstanding problem by offering a durable, secure, and completely plastic-free structure that successfully passes rigorous child-resistant testing protocols. This innovation delivers both the safety requirements and sustainability demands of today's cannabis market.
As pioneers in sustainable product packaging, our newest innovation stays true to our environmental commitments:
"Since Contempo began serving the cannabis industry in 2017, we've received countless customer requests for a truly sustainable child-resistant box that opens like a traditional cigarette box," explains Contempo Specialty Packaging CEO Michael Markarian. "Utilizing plastic parts for the hinge would have been the easy answer, but that runs counter to our mission of sustainability. With our 100% paperboard child-resistant cigarette box, we're elated to fill a niche in the cannabis packaging market and bring producers another innovative, beautiful, sustainable, and child-resistant packaging option that measures up to the care and quality they bring to their cannabis."
Our child-resistant cigarette boxes offer exceptional flexibility for cannabis producers:
