Packaging and marketing have been essential to building brands in entirely new and mind-boggling categories, such as edibles, topicals and concentrates.

Assurpak has rode the wave by developing an array of child-resistant, customisable, US Consumer Product Safety Commission-certified and bisphenol A-free formats, including pouches, cartons, spray bottles, boxes and blister cards, for some of the industry’s largest players, such as Organa Brands.
