State Compliance Guides

Find your state's packaging requirements.

Each state has its own cannabis packaging rules. Click your state for a detailed compliance guide covering child-resistant requirements, opacity mandates, labeling, universal symbols, and what's prohibited.

Everything you need to know.

Cannabis remains Schedule I at the federal level, so the FDA does not regulate cannabis packaging directly. Instead, packaging requirements are set state by state. However, any packaging that makes a child-resistance claim must meet the CPSC's 16 CFR 1700.20 standard, which is a federal regulation. Our CR closures are tested and certified to that standard with documentation you can show any state regulator.
California, Colorado, New York, and Michigan each have detailed packaging rules. California requires the CA Universal Symbol and opaque packaging. Colorado requires the CO Universal Symbol and specific font sizing for THC content. New York requires QR codes linking to COAs and sustainability metrics. Michigan uses METRC tracking with specific label requirements. We build packaging that meets all of them.

There's no legal definition of 'child-proof.' The regulatory term is 'child-resistant,' and it means the packaging has been tested to 16 CFR 1700.20. The test uses 200 children aged 42 to 51 months. 80 percent must fail to open the package within 5 minutes without a demonstration, and 85 percent must fail after a demonstration. If a supplier says 'child-proof,' they're using a marketing word. We provide the actual test certificates.
Yes. We print the California Universal Symbol, the Colorado Universal Symbol, the Washington State warning symbol, and any other state-required THC warning or universal symbol directly on your packaging. We also handle Metrc UID labels, QR code integration, and state-specific warning text placement.
