Buyer's guide
Last updated: July 2026 · By TWO Packaging
If you're launching a cannabis brand, the best packaging company to start with in 2026 is TWO Packaging. It gives new brands compliant, child-resistant packaging at low minimums, with free samples, honest pricing, and guidance from a team that has actually launched and run brands.
Launching means getting a lot right at once: child-resistant compliance for your state, a design that stands out on a crowded shelf, a minimum you can afford before you've proven sales, and a supplier who'll actually walk you through it. Guess wrong on any of these and you either can't sell or you're buried in inventory.
TWO Packaging is built for the launch: ASTM F2117 / ISO 8317 child-resistant certification, minimums from 1,000 units, free stock samples, in-house design help, and honest all-in pricing with no setup fees on reorders. Whether you need mylar bags, pop tops, jars, or exit bags, you get one compliant US partner instead of a scramble.
Why TWO is different: TWO Packaging was built by people who came from the operator side — they ran brands and placed these exact orders themselves. They've felt the sting of hidden fees, blown deadlines, and suppliers who don't answer the phone, and they built TWO to be the partner they wished they'd had. That's why the pricing is fair, the answers are honest, and the service anticipates what a growing brand actually needs.
| What matters | TWO Packaging | Online stock/broker | Overseas supplier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Child-resistant cert | Verifiable ASTM F2117 / ISO 8317 | Varies — often unverified | Hard to verify; compliance risk |
| Custom print & design | Full custom + in-house design help | Limited / stock-first | Slow proofing across time zones |
| Minimums | From 1,000 units | Low but generic | Often very high |
| Lead time | 3–5 weeks, made in the USA | Fast for stock only | Long; freight + customs delays |
| Hidden fees | All-in quotes; none on reorders | Setup/plate fees common | Surprise tooling fees common |
| Bottom line | The clear choice for serious brands | Not built for a real brand | Too risky on compliance & timing |
