Odour Control: How the OdorMizer Minimizes Odor for Pre-Rolls

Introduction

Moving, storing, or displaying cannabis pre-rolls demands tight Odour Control. A stray whiff can soak into other products, linger in trucks, or tip off regulators and curious neighbours. It also signals terpene loss—meaning stale flower, shorter shelf life, and a dented brand image.

MedLock’s new OdorMizer tray-and-lid system solves the problem. The clear PET insert holds up to ten cones, slides shut under a lid, and slips inside a slim, fully recyclable preroll box. Below, we explain the science and show how OdorMizer works on real production lines.

Why PET/RPET Matters

Because both tray and lid are single-resin PET or recycled-content rPET, they carry resin code #1—the most accepted plastic in North America. Clear PET thermoforms are now collected at the curb by about 50 % of Canadian homes and 54 % of U.S. households . In most regions, consumers can drop the empty pack straight into the blue bin (local rules still apply).

Odour Control Starts at the Molecular Level

Terpenes such as myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene are tiny volatile compounds. They escape whenever air, heat, or UV light reaches the flower. OdorMizer blocks those escape routes in two key ways:

1. Barrier polymer architecture – An 80 % virgin PET / 20 % RPET blend forms a tight chain structure with very low oxygen-transmission while meeting sustainability goals.

2. Rigid form factor – The stiff tray keeps cones from flexing, so seams stay tight and aroma stays inside.
