Design Your Dream Packaging: MedLock Builds It from Scratch (Mold Rebate Included!)

In regulated cannabis markets, true brand differentiation often requires more than colour or printing—it demands a completely unique package design. MedLock™ helps licensed producers (LPs) achieve exactly that with its custom mold and tooling program, offering end-to-end design, prototyping, and manufacturing for one-of-a-kind packaging. Even better, MedLock supports brand innovation through its mold rebate program, making fully custom packaging accessible without prohibitive setup costs.

Built from the Ground Up

MedLock’s in-house design and engineering teams work directly with LPs to bring packaging concepts from sketch to shelf. Whether you’re designing a signature jar, bottle, closure, or multi-part kit, MedLock can build custom molds tailored to your exact specifications.

Capabilities include:

• Custom container shapes, neck finishes, and capacities

• Bespoke cap geometries and surface textures

• Integrated CR/TE mechanisms engineered for certification

• Brand-embossed or debossed logo placement

• Specialty materials and barrier film configurations

This level of customization allows LPs to align packaging precisely with product functionality, consumer ergonomics, and brand storytelling—all while maintaining compliance with CPSC, ISO 8317, and Health Canada ACMPR standards.

The Mold Rebate Advantage

Developing a custom mold typically involves an upfront tooling cost, but MedLock’s mold rebate program helps offset that investment for qualifying projects. When production volume thresholds are met, a portion—or in some cases, the full amount—of the mold cost is credited back to the client through volume-based rebates.

Why it matters:

• Encourages packaging innovation without financial risk

• Reduces cost barriers for limited-edition or pilot product lines

• Supports scalable mold investments for multi-SKU programs

This approach makes it possible for LPs of all sizes to create distinctive packaging that stands out in the dispensary while meeting strict regulatory standards.

Compliance-Ready by Design

Every custom mold project follows MedLock’s compliance-first design process. The engineering team ensures that all new shapes, finishes, and features maintain the required child-resistant (CR) and tamper-evident (TE) performance levels before production.

All prototypes undergo internal testing followed by third-party certification under CPSC 16 CFR 1700.20, ISO 8317, and Health Canada ACMPR requirements. Documentation packages are prepared for submission, making regulatory approvals simple and traceable.

This ensures LPs receive not only a custom look, but also fully verified compliance—ready for inspection and audit at launch.

Unlimited Branding Possibilities

MedLock’s design and customization options extend beyond geometry. The company offers direct printing, screen printing, and digital wrap finishes for artwork integration, plus Pantone® colour matching for resin and cap production.

Creative features available:

• Colour-matched resins across container and closure sets

• Embossed or debossed logo detailing

• Transparent, frosted, or opaque finishes

• Matte, gloss, or metallic coatings

• Optional foil liners, inserts, or window panels

 

Each project combines form, function, and visual impact to deliver packaging that’s instantly recognizable—and fully compliant.

Operational Efficiency from Concept to Launch

MedLock manages every phase of the mold development process in-house, ensuring efficient timelines and seamless communication. From initial CAD design to production-ready tooling, each step is optimized for accuracy and cost control.

Turnkey service includes:

• Concept development and 3D modeling

• Rapid prototyping for ergonomic validation

• Material and finish testing for regulatory compatibility

• Pilot production and certification

• Full-scale manufacturing and logistics support

Once production begins, MedLock can coordinate staggered deliveries or just-in-time scheduling to match launch timelines, reducing warehousing and inventory overhead.

Sustainability from the Start

All custom molds can be produced using EcoPure® biodegradable or fully recyclable PET, HDPE, or polypropylene resins, ensuring sustainability goals are built into your packaging from day one.

These materials meet ASTM D5511 and DIN EN13432 biodegradability standards while maintaining full CR/TE certification. This alignment allows LPs to develop high-impact designs that meet both regulatory and environmental expectations.

Turn Innovation into Identity

For LPs ready to move beyond stock options, MedLock’s mold and tooling program offers the opportunity to transform packaging into a competitive advantage. Whether it’s a signature shape, ergonomic closure, or embossed brandmark, your design can set the standard for quality and compliance in the cannabis industry.

Program highlights:

• End-to-end design and engineering support

• Full CR/TE certification and documentation

• Mold rebate available for qualifying orders

• Custom printing and colour integration

• Sustainable material options

• Streamlined production and delivery timelines

MedLock gives you the creative freedom to design the packaging you’ve always envisioned—without compromising compliance or efficiency.
