What is a Zip of Weed Bag? Measurements & Packaging Solutions for the Cannabis Industry
Whether you work in the cannabis sector or consider yourself a casual user, you likely come across a lot of cannabis jargon and slang in your day-to-day life. Cannabis terms like "couchy" (indica-heavy cannabis strains that make you tired), "burn one" (smoking a small amount of cannabis, like a joint), and "chiefing" (hogging cannabis in a group setting), are all equally confusing. In this blog we'll discuss one cannabis phrase in particular- a zip of weed.
If you're curious about what a zip of weed is and how to choose the right packaging, you've come to the right place. We'll walk you through what you need to know about this cannabis term.
What is a Zip of Weed?
A zip of weed is a slang term that refers to a unit of measurement that's equal to one ounce (28 grams) of cannabis. This is an incredibly common unit of measurement in the marijuana industry, particularly in states where it's legal for medical or recreational marijuana consumption.
Currently, cannabis is legal or decriminalized in almost 40 states, including all along the West Coast (Oregon, Washington, and California). If you're located in one of these states or in any of the other states where cannabis is legal, we can help take your brand to the next level with fully customized packaging items for your cannabis.
A zip of weed is considered personal use, and anything more than one ounces can lead to felony or misdemeanor charges, even in states where it's decriminalized. If your brand sells cannabis in any size, you've come to the right place.
Custom Packaging Solutions for CBD/THC Companies
Here are a few of the custom packaging solutions we offer for our customers and brands in the marijuana sector:
- Tamper resistant bags- Tamper resistant bags are critical to assuring that your customer knows if a bag or their vaporizer cartridges or vaporizer batteries have been opened prior to their first use. Since it shows clear signs of tampering, it prevents unauthorized tampering with a bag's contents during transport or storage in dispensaries.
- Stand up pouches- Stand up pouches are manufactured with a bottom gusset which, when deployed, allows the pouch to stand up on the shelf in a store, instead of laying down like flat pouches. This can help provide the best experience in a store or dispensary.
- Smell proof mylar bags- Our smell proof mylar bags are perfect for cannabis companies of all shapes and sizes. Our packaging offers the highest level of odor containment, ensuring that no air will escape from your product and into a users car or home.
Choosing the Right Packaging for a Zip of Weed
When it comes to choose the right packaging for one ounce of weed, here are a few features to consider:
- Proper labeling- To comply with the legal requirements in your state, your cannabis bags will need to have clear labeling. Check with your company legal counsel for a full list of what needs to be included (often the product name, dosage, potency, origin, and lab testing.)
- Exit bags- Many states require that customers use exit bags to package their products in the store. Again, check with your state's requirements for more information.
- Child resistant packaging- Child resistant packaging is of utmost importance in the cannabis sector. In fact, it's essential!
