Other mylar bags
Medical cannabis will be packed in Peel-and-push blisters, usually wrapped in aluminum foil flexible packaging, and then placed in a box, or directly into a plastic bottle, sealed with aluminum cover, cap with lid. However, as people pay more and more attention to the environment, more and more pursuit of reduce, reuse and recycle, degradable flexible packaging has become a desired packaging trend,and the flat medical marijuana packaging bags will be the best option for the dispensary packaging.
In addition to the above concentrated forms of cannabis, The most convenient and easliest form of cannabis is pre-roll. This form of cannabis is most suitable for flexible packaging,the cost is much less than a box,and the mylar bags are all sealed,so the barrier property is much higher than box.Same as syringe packaging, a long flat bag is required, but the light barrier property does not need to be so high. The two layers of non-aluminized packaging bags with clear window is enough
