How to Order Custom Pre-Roll Packaging: Sizes, Child Resistant Options and MOQ

Ordering custom pre-roll packaging? This step-by-step guide covers sizes, child resistant options, printing, MOQ 1,000 per design and 10–15 day lead time.

Pre-roll packaging is usually a brand's first big custom order, and the first one with real compliance stakes. Between sizes, child resistant closures, printing and MOQ, there is a lot to decide before production starts. This guide walks through the ordering process step by step, so your first order arrives right the first time.

Step 1: Pick Your Packaging Format

Most pre-roll brands combine formats: paper boxes for single and multi-pack pre-rolls, Mylar bags for freshness, and a display box for retail. If you are unsure, start with the format your retail partners ask for — then build the rest of the line around it.

Step 2: Confirm Sizes and Quantities

Send your pre-roll length and diameter (or the joint itself) and how many units per pack — single, 2-pack, 5-pack or more. Every box and bag is made to order, so unusual sizes cost nothing extra. Order quantities typically start at 1,000 units per design for boxes and bags.

Step 3: Choose Child Resistant Options

Most markets expect child resistant packaging for pre-rolls. Available CR options include push-button slide boxes, drawer boxes with button locks and CR zipper mylar bags. Requirements vary by state and country, so we recommend testing a pre-production sample against your local rules before bulk.

Step 4: Approve Artwork and Mockup

Send artwork in AI or PDF (CMYK) — or ask the design team for a free dieline first. You will receive a mockup within 1–2 days showing the print, structure and finishes: matte, glossy, Spot UV, foil, holographic effects and soft-touch lamination are all available.

Step 5: Sample, Produce and Ship

After you approve the mockup, a pre-production sample lets you check the structure and CR action in hand. Bulk production takes 10–15 days after sample approval, and finished packaging ships flat-packed to North America and Europe, including the United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, Czechia and Slovakia.
