So you have a cannabis packaging project in mind – now what? Who should you work with? Which companies should you consider? How do you differentiate the good from the bad? Before you choose to run your project with a cannabis packaging supplier, there are a few things to keep in mind that will prime you for success and help eliminate potential headaches.
1. Is the supplier familiar with cannabis packaging?
Before you choose and hire a packaging expert or company, it’s crucial to know if they’re familiar with the industry and its products. In your case, it’d be looking into whether your chosen company has expert knowledge of the cannabis industry and the various types of cannabis products, like flowers, extracts, concentrates, edibles – the list goes on. Working with a company with industry knowledge will save you lots of energy and time to educate them on the ins and outs of the cannabis industry and how products should be packaged.
2. Do they share the same value as you and do they understand your needs?
Finding a supplier is like finding a long-term partner. It’s important to choose a company that shares the same values as you because they are more likely to understand you vision and therefore reduce the chances for miscommunication, misunderstandings, and conflicts. Plus, having shared values is the foundation of a strong and productive working relationship. If you’re looking to produce more cannabis products in the future, building an ongoing partnership is key.
Another crucial factor for consideration is if the company truly cares about your needs. Are they asking the right questions to gain a thorough understanding of your project? Are they taking the time to learn about your business, values, and vision? Are they professional and trustworthy? And can they work with your timeline and create the best possible end-product for you? Make sure you take time to think about these deeply.
3. Is the supplier responsive and capable, with an understanding of the diversity of packaging materials?
they proactive in responding to your requests? Do they provide excellent solutions in a timely manner? These are a few things to keep in mind.
Another point to consider is logistics, especially when working with international suppliers. Is the company capable in terms of logistics management? Do expertly handle things like shipment? Shipping is a big part of logistics and it’s crucial that they understand the various options.
Are they also able to provide a forecast for the production process based on the data? If they’re able to accommodate the intricate schedule of production, they’re likely experienced and capable of taking on large purchasing projects. Interested in collaborating with us?
