In the cannabis industry, not every package needs to reinvent the wheel—some simply need to perform flawlessly every time. That’s exactly what MedLock™ Dram Jars deliver. Trusted by Canada’s leading licensed producers (LPs), these rugged, child-resistant, and tamper-evident jars have become the backbone of compliant cannabis packaging. Whether for flower, concentrates, or topicals, MedLock Dram Jars combine simplicity, safety, and scalability in one proven design.


The Industry Standard for Safety and Reliability


MedLock Dram Jars are built to meet and exceed all cannabis packaging compliance standards, including Health Canada ACMPR, ISO 8317, and CPSC 16 CFR 1700.20. Each jar and closure undergoes independent third-party testing for child resistance (CR) and tamper evidence (TE), ensuring full certification documentation is available for regulatory submission.


Why LPs trust MedLock Dram Jars:

  • Proven CR/TE certification accepted across multiple jurisdictions

  • Tight sealing system to prevent oxygen and moisture ingress

  • Shatter-resistant PET construction for durability during transit

  • Consistent performance on automated fill lines

  • Scalable supply chain with low minimum order quantities


When regulators test packaging, these jars consistently meet the mark—protecting both the product and the brand behind it.


A Design Built for Performance


Available in 20 DR, 40 DR, and 60 DR sizes, MedLock Dram Jars are engineered for versatility across product categories. The jars are made from FDA-grade, food-safe PET that is both lightweight and impact-resistant. Each ships with a 52 mm Click-Lock™ child-resistant, tamper-evident cap—a one-step closure that locks in freshness while ensuring compliance.


Performance features:

  • Wide-mouth opening for efficient filling and easy access

  • Smooth, durable threading to maintain repeated opening performance

  • Optional foil liners and foam inserts for enhanced odor, oxygen, and moisture control

  • Available in clear or black finishes to balance visibility with UV protection


This balance of form and function makes MedLock Dram Jars the reliable “workhorse” of cannabis packaging operations—efficient, consistent, and compliant.


Versatility Across Product Types


MedLock Dram Jars aren’t limited to dried flower. Their durable PET structure and adaptable inserts make them suitable for multiple product applications:


  • Dried Flower: Airtight seal preserves terpene profiles and aroma.

  • Concentrates: Foam inserts cradle glass or silicone containers for secure storage.

  • Topicals and Balms: Optional false-bottom models create a premium, retail-ready aesthetic while protecting product integrity.

  • Sample Kits: Compact, compliant format for promotional or medical trial packaging.


Each format maintains CR/TE certification and can be enhanced with additional barriers or branding elements as needed.


The Click-Lock™ Advantage


Every MedLock Dram Jar ships standard with the patented Click-Lock™ closure, which combines child resistance and tamper evidence in one seamless motion. The cap’s gasketed inner valve prevents leaks and odor escape, while the frangible tamper band provides visible proof of integrity.


Benefits of Click-Lock™ integration:

  • One closure, two compliance functions (CR + TE)

  • No additional shrink bands required

  • Consistent torque and seal performance across production runs

  • Simplified inventory and filling-line changeovers


For LPs managing high-volume packaging, the Click-Lock™ system saves time, reduces consumable waste, and ensures uniform safety standards across every product.


Branding That Stands Out


MedLock Dram Jars offer extensive customization options to help brands differentiate without compromising compliance. LPs can choose direct pad printing, multi-colour screen printing, or full digital wraps for bold graphics and regulatory text.


Customization options include:

  • Pantone® colour-matched caps and jar bodies

  • Textured finishes for grip or visual appeal

  • Embossed logo detailing on jar lids

  • EcoPure® biodegradable resin options for sustainable lines


These features allow producers to maintain brand consistency while meeting regulatory display requirements such as THC content, warnings, and lot traceability.


Proven at Scale, Ready for Growth


Used by some of the top-performing LPs in Canada, MedLock Dram Jars are designed for scalability. Their consistent dimensions and standard 52 mm closures ensure compatibility across automated filling, capping, and labeling systems. With low MOQs for in-stock SKUs and short lead times for custom runs, MedLock keeps your supply chain agile and responsive.


Operational advantages:

  • Rapid restocking from Canadian inventory

  • Seamless transition from small-batch to national-scale production

  • Consistent torque and seal integrity across all size formats

  • Optional palletized shipments for efficient warehouse integration


This reliability is why MedLock Dram Jars remain the industry’s trusted packaging choice—dependable, compliant, and ready to grow with your brand.

In a market where regulations evolve quickly, MedLock Dram Jars provide certainty. They represent the foundation of compliant cannabis packaging—tested, proven, and built for long-term performance. For LPs seeking a dependable solution that doesn’t compromise between cost, compliance, or quality, these jars deliver every time.
