What Cannabis Packaging Should a Smoke Shop Carry?
Written by Lia Thompson, packaging specialist at Creative Labz. Last updated October 3, 2026.
Smoke shop customers already come in for papers, grinders, and glass. Many of them also need somewhere to put what they buy or grow: bags that seal in odor, jars that keep flower fresh, and tubes that protect pre-rolls. Stocking cannabis packaging is an easy way to add sales from customers who are already in your store.
This guide covers which packaging products sell best in a smoke shop, how to merchandise them, and how to stock up without tying up too much cash.
Packaging products are sold for legal use. Check your state and local rules for what you can sell and how it's displayed.
Why Packaging Belongs in a Smoke Shop
- It fits what customers already buy. Someone buying cones or a grinder is a natural buyer for a storage jar or smell-proof bag.
- It drives repeat visits. Bags, cones, and humidity packs get used up, so customers come back for more.
- It serves small growers and brands. Local growers, home growers, and small brands need packaging and would rather buy locally than wait for shipping.
- It's easy to merchandise. Most packaging is small, light, and doesn't expire.
What Cannabis Packaging Should a Smoke Shop Carry?
1. Mylar Bags
Smell-resistant, resealable Mylar bags are the top seller. Stock the common sizes, 3.5g eighth bags and 28g ounce bags, in a few eye-catching designs, plus plain bags for customers who want a discreet look.
2. Storage Jars
Child-resistant glass and plastic jars appeal to customers who want to keep flower fresh at home. Our 3.5g jars are an easy add-on at the register.
3. Pre-Roll Cones and Tubes
Pre-roll cones in 70mm, 98mm, and 109mm sizes sell steadily, and pre-roll packaging like doob tubes pairs naturally with them. For customers rolling in volume, a small cone filling cartridge is a strong upsell.
4. Concentrate Containers
Small child-resistant glass jars and extract envelopes serve dab customers. Start with 5mL and 7mL concentrate jars.
5. Smell-Proof Bags
Carbon-lined smell-proof bags, including backpacks, duffles, and toiletry bags, are a higher-ticket item that fits right next to glass and accessories.
6. Accessories
Small add-ons with good turnover: humidity packs, hand-held heat sealers, digital scales, and grinders.
How to Merchandise Packaging
- Put it near related products. Cones next to papers, jars and humidity packs near grinders, smell-proof bags near glass.
- Sell bundles. A starter kit with a jar, a humidity pack, and a few bags makes an easy gift or upsell.
- Show the designs. Pre-designed Mylar bags sell on looks, so display them face-out.
- Offer multi-packs. Small growers often want 10 or 50 bags at a time.
- Train staff on the basics. Knowing which bag size fits an eighth or an ounce makes the sale easier.
Stocking Up Without Overbuying
- Start with the core sizes: 3.5g and 28g bags, 3.5g jars, and the most common cone size in your area.
- Add a few designs, then reorder what sells.
- Track which items customers ask for that you don't carry.
- Order in wholesale quantities once you know your sell-through.
