What Are Pre-Roll Tubes and Why They Matter
Pre-roll tubes are the small cylindrical containers that carry, guard and maintain your joints, blunts and cones from the time they come out of the production line to the time your customer cracks the cap. A good tube not only blocks light but also preserves moisture and the aroma for many weeks as opposed to days.
Ineffective or pedestrian pre-roll packaging dries the product out too fast, lets the terpenes leak out and affects repeat purchases directly like the tube you pick directly influences the shelf life, reputation and repeat buyer rate of the brand.
Retailers make their judgments about a product based on its packaging even prior to opening it. A tube that breaks open, spills or does not pass a test of child resistance costs you even more than the difference in prices between suppliers. To address that issue, we developed our catalog so each tube we offer stands up to the actual shipping, storage and shelf conditions.
Shop Pre-Roll Tubes by Size: Single or Multi Options
We have all the common lengths in 70mm dogwalkers to 120mm-plus multi-packs, hence you need not guess which tube to get to fit your product. You can have one or more pre-roll tubes, and we cut the diameter and length to your weight of flowers, from 0.3g mini-joint to 2g single or multi pre-roll tubes. Every size order is prepared to label, shrink band or your own special finishing and each tile in our size grid corresponds to that unique collection.
When you are not sure what length to use, weigh a complete joint or blunt, and then compare it to our capacity chart. A 98mm wide tube such as a comfortable one can hold three to four 1-gram joints and a 70mm dogwalker tube can accommodate a single half-gram mini.
Pre-Roll Joint Tubes vs. Pre-Roll Blunt Tubes: What's the Difference
The actual difference between these two categories is diameter and not just length. Pre-roll joint tubes are narrow, designed to hold regular rolling paper cones and single joints that must be snugly fitted and with low airflow. Pre-Roll Blunt Tubes, in contrast, are thickened to accommodate heavier wraps, multi-gram blunts and more dense wraps without crushing or bruising the wrap or bruising the flower within. We divide our catalog by either of the two, and you order the one that fits, rather than trying to squeeze a joint into a blunt-sized tube, or wasting shelf space to the incorrect size.
This difference is not just a difference but a difference that counts. A blunt cut into a small tube of a joint splits the wrap as it is inserted and a joint rattling about inside a big tube made of blunt is no longer sealed and dries up in a few days. The quickest method to prevent both of the problems during your very first bulk run is to order by category, not by millimeter length.
Materials We Offer for Pre-Rolled Tubes
The selection of materials determines cost, longevity and the way your brand will feel on the shelf. We have a few choices of our pre-rolled tubes and each has its own budget and brand story. This is a very crude list to enable you to correlate material to where you are instead of guessing:
- Polypropylene plastic: inexpensive and high volume production, light in weight and 100% recyclable.
- Glass tubes: high quality and reusable and a good choice for high end brands.
- PCR (post-consumer recycled) plastic: identical in terms of durability and with a reduced environmental footprint.
- Plant based and compostable tubes: when a brand claims to be a sustainable value.
- Paper based tubes: The newest addition is a lightweight and ecofriendly choice when it comes to novelty or limited quantities.
More dispensaries are now filtering down by sustainability credentials such that by combining a recycled or compostable choice with your compliance paperwork, doors open that price alone would not.
Child-Resistant Compliance You Can Trust
All states with regulations on cannabis and hemp packaging have child resistant closures and we design our tubes to work to 16 CFR 1700.20 standards, not as an afterthought. Our pop-top, screw-top and cork-top closures are tested as compliant, and never leave our factory until they are tested, so you will not roll the dice on a shipment being stopped at a dispensary intake or failing a state inspection.
State regulations are not the same and being state-compliant in itself says nothing. California, Colorado, Michigan, Massachusetts and Illinois all have individual requirements of those states regarding packaging and labeling and we can refer you to the closure and labeling combination that meets your market before you place an order.
Custom Pre Roll Tube Labels and Branding
Generic tubes render your product a memory compared to a shelf of competitors that are reaching over the same blank stock. Our custom pre roll tube labels include shrink sleeves, direct printing, and custom colors of caps, so your packaging displays your logo, strain name, potency information, and compliance text in the place you need it without the need to hire a separate print shop.
We also supply sample packs prior to your ordering a bulk run, eliminating the speculation in your initial order.
Pre-Roll Tubes Wholesale Pricing You Can Plan Around
Imprecise as low as pricing wastes your time and makes your budgeting a guessing game. Our pre-roll tubes wholesale program has definite quantity breakpoints, thus you are aware of what you are paying per unit at 1,000, 5,000 or 50,000 pieces before you even place an order with us. Bigger orders will unlock higher discounts, and we will use the transparent framework to apply the same to the custom-labeled runs, not only to blank stock.
Price-shopping customers are likely to be repelled by a page where they cannot see the numbers, so we display the actual breakpoints on the first page. In case you want to order between two of the listed levels, please call us and we will quote the exact price as opposed to the rounded-off price.
How to Choose the Right Pre-Roll Packaging
The most common mistake of new brands is selecting the wrong tube size or cap style. Before ordering, walk through the five steps:
- Measuring your flower per unit will help you know how many grams you really require.
- Compare that weight to a tube diameter/length of our size chart.
- Select a cap style like pop-top, screw-top and cork-top.
- Select a material to match your budget and brand positioning.
- Determine whether you require custom labels or you intend to do them on a subsequent order.
