For distributors and retailers, cannabis packaging can be a headache. There are myriad compliance issues to contend with including labeling and tracking, and logistical challenges such as shipping units from other countries during a time of COVID-related supply chain chaos.<\/p>\n
Packaging must also be child-resistant, yet easy enough for patients with physical ailments such as arthritis to open. <\/p>\n
Cannabis is a well-documented and efficacious anti-seizure medication, and patients experiencing seizures need to have immediate and easy access to their flower or concentrate.<\/p>\n
An industry secret that the average medical cannabis patient may not be aware of is that traditional packaging such as Mylar bags or plastic containers let oxygen and light into the product, resulting in a loss of flower and net weight. <\/p>\n
Retailers often have to insert additional flower into the package to meet the standards of compliance regulations and customers. \u00a0<\/p>\n
N2 Packaging Systems LLC is addressing some of these obstacles that retailers experience every day. N2 uses a proprietary technology that injects nitrogen into its packaging. <\/p>\n
This process preserves the balance of moisture and weight of the product while removing the ambient oxygen and moisture that is in the container.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are sealing hermetically, the native moisture that exists in that product that sits in the can,\u201d said N2 CEO Thom Brodeur. \u201cSo, one of the biggest challenges for the cannabis industry is once you open, once you\u2019ve packaged it, if there\u2019s any presence of oxygen at all, it begins to degrade the product.\u201d<\/p>\n
