Introduction:
In a recent interview with Rachel Kane, a packaging engineer at Sure Lock Packaging (SLP), the importance of child safety and packaging in the cannabis industry was discussed. Rachel sheds light on the need for child-resistant packaging, the evolving regulations, and the responsibility of manufacturers in ensuring product safety.
Why SLP entered the industry:
Rachel entered the packaging industry in 2016 and noticed a significant gap in the market for lower volume runs of attractive packaging. With the ever-changing regulations in the cannabis industry, such as warnings and image restrictions, excessive packaging accumulation becomes a concern for many cannabis companies. Therefore, having the capability to produce low volume runs of beautiful packaging became a crucial aspect that Rachel aimed to address through Sure Lock Packaging.
Child safety and the tragedy in Virginia:
The interview also touched upon a recent incident in Virginia where a four-year-old child passed away after consuming THC edibles. While the specifics of the incident were not entirely clear, the importance of child safety in cannabis packaging was highlighted. State regulations often require child-resistant packaging for THC products, such as concentrates, oils, and edibles. Rachel explains that child-resistant packaging undergoes rigorous testing, ensuring that children cannot open it within a set time limit.
Balancing regulations and public safety:
The conversation then shifted to the broader implications of cannabis legalization. While some business owners may perceive regulations as excessive, they play a vital role in protecting the public. Legalization raises concerns about children’s access to cannabis products and how law enforcement enforces regulations related to impaired driving. Rachel emphasizes the role of education in promoting responsible use and proper storage of cannabis products.
Liability and accountability:
In cases where tragic incidents occur, such as the child’s death in Virginia, determining liability becomes crucial. Manufacturers question whether they have taken all necessary precautions, including packaging products in child-resistant containers. The interview raises the question of whether the liability lies with the manufacturer or the supplier of the child-resistant packaging.
Conclusion:
The interview with Rachel from Sure Lock Packaging provides valuable insights into the significance of child safety and packaging in the cannabis industry. As regulations continue to evolve, manufacturers and suppliers must prioritize child-resistant packaging to prevent accidents. By striking a balance between regulations, public safety, and responsible use, the industry can continue to grow while safeguarding the well-being of consumers, especially children.
