The market for legal cannabis edibles has grown increasingly sophisticated—and that includes the packaging options used for retail and medicinal products.

In the U.S., there are 33 states, plus the District of Columbia, with some form of legal cannabis for medicinal purposes, and 10 states that allow it for recreational use. However, when it comes to specifying the level of THC, CBD, terpenes and the other 80 or so constituent components in cannabis, there's a smorgasbord of rules and regulations.

An idea for a THC beer by the brewmaster who created Blue Moon at MillerCoors first came to life through its packaging.

Because child-resistant packaging requirements vary in states where cannabis is legal, many companies infusing food and drinks choose containers with the best protection—required or not—so they can sell the same packages everywhere.

Budpack has designed a new line of flexible pouches for the legal cannabis industry made with FDA compliant food-grade material with closure systems that protect children from accidental exposure.
