The Zenlock child-resistant system is the first all-paper rigid box solution in cannabis packaging.

Cannabis was legalized in California in 1996 and became legal for recreational use in 2016. In 2019, the state updated their packaging and labeling laws requiring that all cannabis products must be enclosed in child-resistant packaging. As cannabis is legalized in more states across America, child-resistant packaging laws like the one California put forth will become the standard.
