In today’s tightly regulated cannabis industry, packaging isn’t just about presentation - it’s about protection, proof, and peace of mind. From child-resistance and tamper-evidence to FDA and Health Canada compliance, every detail matters. That’s where MedLock™ comes in.


Since 2012, MedLock has built its reputation on one promise: Quality, Compliance, Customer Service. With a decade of experience serving both pharmaceutical and cannabis producers, MedLock has mastered the art of compliant packaging by helping licensed producers (LPs) launch and scale confidently while staying audit-ready at every turn.


Setting the Standard for Cannabis Packaging Compliance


Every MedLock product is engineered, tested, and certified to meet or exceed international safety and quality benchmarks. This includes:


  • Child-Resistance (CR): Certified to CPSC and ISO 8317 standards.

  • Tamper-Evidence (TE): Built-in features—like frangible rings or tear-notches that prove if a product’s been opened or altered.

  • Food-Contact Safety: Verified under FDA and EU frameworks.

  • Cannabis-Specific Approvals: All primary packaging meets Health Canada ACMPR requirements for cannabis products.


Each production run undergoes independent third-party testing, giving LPs and distributors traceable documentation for compliance submissions and inspections.


Why it matters: When regulators audit your packaging, MedLock’s certification package keeps your business running smoothly—no delays, no recalls, no stress.


The Click-Lock™ Advantage: CR + TE in One Step


At the core of MedLock’s innovation is its two-in-one Click-Lock™ closure system - a patented design that combines child resistance and tamper evidence in a single, easy twist-to-lock motion.


This closure secures every MedLock rigid container - PET jars, extract bottles, glass tinctures, and pop-top tubes - through a combination of intelligent engineering and simplicity.


Key safety features:

  • Integrated tamper band: Breaks upon first opening, providing visible proof of integrity.

  • Gasket & inner valve: Create a leak-proof seal for oils and tinctures.

  • Torque-stop teeth: Prevent over-rotation and cap damage during capping.

  • No heat seal required: Simplifies fill-line operations and reduces energy use.

The result? A single closure that meets global CR/TE standards, streamlines production, and delivers the peace of mind that every cannabis producer needs.

 

PET Jars That Protect Product Integrity—and Your Reputation


MedLock’s PET Dried Flower and Concentrate Jars are trusted by top LPs for their balance of compliance, durability, and brand flexibility.


Each jar ships with a 52 mm Click-Lock™ CR/TE cap, providing both child-resistance and tamper-evidence in one twist. Made from FDA-grade, food-safe PET, these jars preserve terpene profiles, aromas, and potency while preventing moisture intrusion.


Benefits that build confidence:

  • Regulatory-compliant design: Every jar and closure tested to CPSC and Health Canada standards.

  • Shatter-resistant PET: Prevents breakage and cross-contamination in filling environments.

  • Optional foil liners and foam inserts: Strengthen moisture and oxygen barriers.

  • Direct printing available: Print compliance details directly on the jar—no labels needed.


Whether you package flower, rosin, or concentrates, MedLock’s jar system protects product integrity while simplifying your audit trail.

 

Mylar Pouches: Flexible, Certified, and Tamper-Evident


For brands looking for lightweight flexibility, MedLock’s child-resistant Mylar Pouches offer the perfect blend of compliance and convenience.


These resealable bags feature a grip-and-rip CR opening, tamper-evident tear notch, and multilayer barrier film (PET12/VMPET12/PE95) that keeps moisture, oxygen, and odour out.


Compliance-driven benefits:

  • Meets CPSC and ISO 8317 child-resistance standards.

  • Certified tamper-evident design for consumer trust.

  • Customizable in size and colour, with Pantone®-matched branding.

  • Compatible with OdorMizer™ inserts for enhanced odour control.


For LPs under Health Canada or U.S. state oversight, these pouches make compliance effortless - while keeping products fresh and discreet.

 

Documentation That Delivers Confidence


Every MedLock shipment can include certification reports, material data sheets, and test documentation upon request. These files simplify submission processes for federal, state, or provincial licensing audits.

MedLock’s dedicated regulatory team supports clients through:

 

The Hidden Costs of Sameness


Plain packaging, while intended to level the playing field, has created a market dynamic where strong brands are punished and weak brands are camouflaged. That puts enormous pressure on price as the primary differentiator.


This has led to three major issues:


  • CPSC, ISO 8317, and ACMPR documentation packages

  • FDA and EU food-contact certificates

  • Batch-level QC tracking and traceability

  • Compliance consultation for new product lines 


When it comes to regulated cannabis packaging, compliance isn’t a checkbox - it’s a partnership.


Sustainability Meets Compliance


Compliance and sustainability go hand in hand. MedLock’s packaging lines include EcoPure® biodegradable and 100 % curb-side recyclable options that meet ASTM D6400 and D5511 standards.


This means you can meet strict CR/TE regulations without sacrificing environmental goals. From biodegradable pop-top tubes to PLA pouches, MedLock makes regulatory alignment sustainable—and sustainability compliant.

 

Why LPs Choose MedLock


Peace of mind doesn’t come from paperwork - it comes from trust built on performance. Leading cannabis producers choose MedLock because they know:


  • Every container is independently tested and certified.

  • Every order is supported by real documentation.

  • Every closure is engineered for CR, TE, and efficiency.

  • Every product can be custom-printed and color-matched to brand requirements.


With MedLock, you don’t just buy packaging—you gain a compliance partner who understands your operational, regulatory, and branding needs.

 

Compliance, Simplified.


From jars and pouches to closures and syringes, MedLock packaging is proof that safety and style can coexist.


If your cannabis brand values regulatory integrity, operational efficiency, and peace of mind, it’s time to partner with the packaging company built for compliance.
