Cannabis Packaging + Branding Design- 01.20.17

cdesign0.jpg

We’ve been finding so many interesting Cannabis products with great packaging/branding lately! So instead of hunting for them each time, or flooding NOTCOT.org with the links… here’s one big post of them!

It’s no surprise that the cannabis market is booming and growing at record speeds, and will likely continue to do so. After many recurring conversations about the design emerging around the cannabis space - i finally started rounding up some of the more intriguing packaging/branding design of cannabis products. This doesn’t even begin to look at the branding of dispensaries, architecture/interior design of dispensaries, or paraphernalia. And while cannabis product packaging is much like packaging for water, alcohol, anything you can add sugar to, etc. - when looking for inspiration to design packaging and branding for a cannabis brand, you can really find inspiration from ANYTHING. The products have enough range that you could probably have an equivalent cannabis product for nearly anything in a supermarket or drugstore. But, that being said, i was still curious what’s new in the cannabis specific space with regards to eye catching packaging… so here’s my current (and probably growing) list! Let me know if you find others i should check out!

1 - AdFreak “This Colorado Agency Just Made 3 Strains of Marijuana Specifically for Ad People” shows some fun work by TDA_Boulder for part of a promotional campaign for The Fifty, which is the Denver Ad Club’s award show. “The Fifty Weed,” as the drug is being called, was made in partnership with Colorado Kind, a marijuana grower and award show sponsor and is available for purchase from Jan. 26 until Feb. 2, everywhere Colorado Kind Cannabis is sold. cdesign1.jpg

UPDATES! As i keep researching and keep adding to this post… there are now almost twice as many interesting designs from when this first went live!

Other lists/links worth taking a look at High Times “HIGH EXPECTATIONS: 21 CANNABIS BRANDS TO WATCH” from August 2016 and Kind Tyme “Cannabis Branding: 10 Examples of Excellent Design” from March 2016. Also an interesting read High Times “THC Warnings Appear on Colorado Cannabis Edibles”.
