Our Complete Guide to Custom Weed Packaging: From Inquiry to Delivery

1. Initial Inquiry & Quote Request

Every custom packaging project begins with an inquiry. Buyers typically send us their packaging requirements through our website contact form or by email. At this stage, we gather basic details such as:

• Packaging type (boxes, tubes, jars, pouches, tins, etc.)

• Expected quantity

• Desired materials (paperboard, glass, plastic, metal, etc.)

• Branding preferences (logo, colors, printing)

Once we receive this information, our customer service team responds with a preliminary quote and possible solutions. This early dialogue helps buyers understand estimated pricing and production timelines.

2. Choosing Your Packaging Type

Once the budget and requirements are clear, buyers then select the specific packaging type that best suits their product needs. Common choices include:

• Pre-roll boxes (for individual or multi-pack weed pre-rolls)

• Child-resistant plastic or glass tubes

• Custom jars for flower, concentrates, or edibles

• Tin boxes for premium products

• Flexible pouches with child-resistant zippers

During this phase, our team can share product samples or reference visuals to help buyers visualize their choices before moving forward.

3. Confirming Product Size & Structural Specs

After choosing the packaging type, we work with buyers to finalize exact measurements and structural design. This includes:

• Length, width, and depth

• Internal inserts or dividers

• Closure type (child-resistant, snap, screw, etc.)

• Material thickness and durability requirements

These detailed specifications lay the foundation for packaging that not only fits the product perfectly but also meets safety and compliance needs.

4. Artwork & Design Review

Next, buyers provide their logo, artwork, and design ideas for printing. If needed, Archibald’s design team can assist with:

• Logo placement

• Color matching

• Typography and layout

• Regulatory labeling (warning symbols, potency info, batch codes)

We generate a printed mock-up or digital dieline for buyer review. This ensures the packaging reflects the brand vision before production begins.

---

5. Sample Production (Proofing Stage)

Once the design is approved, we proceed to the sample stage — also known as proofing. A physical sample or prototype of the custom packaging is produced so the buyer can:

• Inspect material quality

• Check fit and finish

• Evaluate print results

• Confirm functionality (closures, inserts, etc.)

Samples help reduce risk and ensure that the final production meets expectations. Buyers can request minor adjustments at this stage if necessary.

---

6. Production & Quality Control

After the sample is approved, Archibald moves into full production. This includes:

• Material procurement

• Printing and finishing

• Assembly and folding (for boxes and tubes)

• In-line quality checks

Our ISO and GMP certified facilities help ensure high quality and consistency throughout the production cycle. We also provide buyers with production timelines so they know when to expect shipment.

7. Packaging & Shipping

Once production is complete, your custom packaging is carefully packed — often in bulk cartons or pallets, depending on order size. Archibald coordinates logistics for:

• Domestic shipping

• International freight

• Customs documentation

We work with trusted logistics partners to ensure your packaging arrives on time and in excellent condition.

Even after your order ships, Archibald continues to support buyers with:

• Follow-up communication

• Assistance with additional orders

• Troubleshooting print or material concerns
