Innovative cannabis packaging

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Child resistant, eco-friendly cannabis packaging

— August 27, 2021 — Keynote Trends
The latest packaging innovation from the GPA Global Cannabis team is the BN-4, an eco-friendly cannabis pack manufactured in the US. Taking inspiration from the popular BN-1 and BN-2 pack styles, GPA have designed and developed a fully recyclable and child-resistant slider pack using FSC-certified paper stock.

The BN-4 incorporates a paperboard sleeve with a sliding tray and removable insert. It has a child-resistant locking mechanism engaged by two discreet push buttons at the back of the outer sleeve. The design can be fully customized and is suited to a variety of cannabis products, including pre-rolls, vape cartridges and disposable vape pens.

This pack style is designed to be automation-friendly. GPA offers a short production lead time and streamlined logistics, enabled by domestic manufacturing in California and Massachusetts.

For cannabis brands looking to reduce the financial costs and environmental impact associated with overseas manufacturing, the BN-4 is a must-have!
