Multipack Child-resistant options
Custom pre-roll boxes that sell on the shelf. Cigarette-style flip, slider, and child resistant options. Your multipack isn't just a container. It's the packaging your customer sees first.
Built for cannabis. Made factory-direct.
Box Styles That Work
The cigarette-style flip box is the classic. It opens from the top, the pre-rolls sit in a tray, and it's compact. This is what most consumers picture when they think pre-roll multipack. It's familiar, it's easy to open, and it stacks well on shelves.
The slider box is the premium option. An inner tray slides out of an outer sleeve. It feels deliberate. It feels like a product, not a commodity. High-end brands use sliders because the opening ritual adds perceived value. If your pre-roll is $40 for a five-pack, the box should feel like it.
Child resistant boxes are available and required in some states. The mechanism is a push-tab that releases the lid. It's certified to 1700.20. The box looks like a standard box but it won't open without the right technique. We've tested these with real dispensary customers and the feedback is good. Adults figure it out quickly.
Construction and Shelf Impact
We use 350gsm SBS paperboard for pre-roll boxes. That's the same weight cigarette companies use. It's rigid, it holds its shape, and it prints beautifully. For premium brands, we can go up to 400gsm with a soft-touch finish.
Printing is where your box earns its shelf space. We do offset printing for the best color reproduction. CMYK with spot colors if your brand uses a specific Pantone. Foil stamping for logos. Embossing for texture. Matte lamination for a premium feel. Your box is your billboard in the display case.
Insert trays hold your pre-rolls in place. We do die-cut cardboard trays or molded pulp trays. The tray prevents movement, which prevents damage. A pre-roll that shifts in the box arrives crushed. The tray is what stops that.

Is This the Right Packaging for Your Product?
Ideal For
- ✓ Multi-pack pre-rolls (2, 5, 7, 10-pack)
- ✓ Cigarette-style multipack formats
- ✓ Premium pre-roll branding and retail display
Not Ideal For
- ✕ Viscous liquid extracts
- ✕ Bulk loose flower (unless secondary sealed)
- ✕ Single pre-rolls (use individual tubes)
Material Specifications
| Construction | Tinplate steel (0.21-0.35mm) for metal tins; paperboard/rigid board for carton-style boxes; food-grade silicone, EVA foam, or paper inserts |
| Thickness | 8.2 to 13.8 mil for tinplate steel; varies for paperboard (typically 12-24pt board) |
| Oxygen Barrier (OTR) | Tinplate: 0 cc/m2/day (absolute zero through metal walls); Paperboard: depends on primary packaging inside |
| Moisture Barrier (MVTR) | Tinplate: 0 g/m2/day (absolute zero through metal walls); Paperboard: depends on primary packaging inside |
| Light Protection | Tinplate: 100% opaque; Paperboard: high opacity depending on print and material |
| Odor Barrier | Tinplate: complete (with gasket seal); Paperboard: limited (relies on primary tube packaging) |
Pre-roll boxes protect fragile pre-rolls from crushing during retail display and transport. For tinplate construction, the metal provides absolute zero OTR/MVTR with 100% opacity. For paperboard, the box serves as structural and branding protection while the primary pre-roll tube inside provides the barrier. Multi-pack pre-rolls are easily deformed without proper structural protection.
Compliance
Minimum Order & Timeline
MOQ: 3,000 to 6,000 units minimum for tinplate (due to printing on large tinplate sheets before stamping); 1,000+ for paperboard
Timeline: 30 days on average for tinplate; 10-15 days for paperboard
Price Factors
- Material (tinplate vs paperboard)
- Embossing/debossing (minimal cost once molds are set)
- Print complexity
- CR mechanism
- Custom shapes and inserts
Why Factory Direct?
High MOQs keep unit costs low for tinplate. Factory-direct sourcing eliminates 30-50% broker markup. At $0.45-$1.50 per unit for tins, the savings are significant across multipack runs.
