In a highly regulated market like cannabis, consumer trust is built on proof—proof that what’s inside the package hasn’t been altered, opened, or compromised. That’s why tamper-evident (TE) packaging is more than a requirement; it’s a statement of integrity. MedLock™ designs every packaging system to meet strict tamper-evidence standards recognized by Health Canada, the FDA, and ISO 8317. From jars and bottles to pouches and closures, MedLock’s technology ensures that every seal tells a story of safety and compliance.


Why Tamper Evidence Matters for LPs


Tamper evidence is essential for maintaining both regulatory compliance and consumer confidence. Health Canada’s ACMPR regulations require cannabis packaging to clearly show if a product has been opened or interfered with prior to sale. MedLock’s packaging solutions are engineered with built-in TE mechanisms—visible, irreversible indicators that make it impossible to reseal a package without detection.


For licensed producers, this means less risk of product returns, contamination claims, and non-compliance findings. MedLock’s TE systems safeguard your products and brand reputation, ensuring customers receive what you intended: a safe, sealed product they can trust.

 

The Click-Lock™ Cap: Tamper Evidence in Every Twist


The MedLock Click-Lock™ closure integrates child resistance and tamper evidence in a single, easy motion. Each cap includes a frangible band—a small, break-away ring that separates upon first opening, providing an immediate visual cue that the seal has been broken.


Key benefits for LPs

  • Integrated CR/TE performance that meets Health Canada and CPSC standards

  • Leak-proof gasket and inner valve for oil and liquid containment

  • No heat seal or shrink band required—reduces fill-line complexity and cost

  • Visible proof of tamper or access, ensuring consumer confidence


This single-step system eliminates redundant materials and equipment while delivering the same protection demanded by regulators.

 

PET Bottles and Jars: Visible Integrity for Every Product


MedLock’s PET Jars and Bottles are the foundation of its tamper-evident packaging portfolio. Each jar ships with a Click-Lock™ cap that combines twist-to-lock security with a frangible tamper band. For producers of dried flower, concentrates, tinctures, or edibles, this creates a transparent chain of custody from fill line to consumer.


TE advantages

  • Break-away bands confirm first opening

  • Optional foil liners or pressure seals enhance oxygen and moisture barriers

  • FDA-grade PET provides clear product visibility and shatter resistance

  • Black PET options offer UV protection for sensitive products


By incorporating visible tamper indicators into the packaging itself, MedLock eliminates the need for external seals and simplifies regulatory approval.


Mylar Pouches: Tamper-Evident by Design


Flexible packaging can be compliant too. MedLock’s child-resistant Mylar Pouches feature a tamper-evident tear notch above a resealable closure, providing unmistakable visual proof if the pouch has been opened.


Constructed from multilayer PET12/VMPET12/PE95 barrier film, these pouches preserve product freshness while exceeding CR and TE performance standards. The resealable slider or zipper maintains integrity after first opening, so products stay protected throughout their use.


LP benefits
  • Built-in TE tear notch

  • Certified CR “grip-and-rip” format for adult-friendly access

  • Fully customizable sizes and Pantone®-matched colours

  • Compatible with OdorMizer™ inserts for odor control

Whether used for flower, edibles, or accessories, MedLock pouches offer flexibility without compromising regulatory compliance.

 

ClickDose™ Syringes: Tamper Evidence Meets Precision


When working with oils, extracts, or tinctures, MedLock’s ClickDose™ Oral Syringes provide tamper-evident control at every step. Each syringe features a frangible band at the plunger or tip that separates upon first use. The clear break confirms integrity, ensuring the contents haven’t been accessed before the end user removes the seal.


This feature not only satisfies Health Canada’s requirements for tamper-evident primary packaging but also reinforces brand trust for medical and adult-use cannabis products.


Additional features

  • Click-stop graduations at every 0.1 mL for accurate microdosing

  • Compatible with 18-415 CR/TE bottle closures for secure pairing

  • Medical-grade, inert plastics ensure purity and chemical stability


Tamper Evidence and Sustainability


MedLock’s TE technology isn’t limited to plastics. Every tamper-evident format can be produced in EcoPure® biodegradable or fully recyclable resin. These materials are ASTM D5511 and DIN EN13432 certified, helping LPs achieve environmental goals while maintaining strict compliance.


This integration of safety and sustainability reflects MedLock’s zero-waste manufacturing approach and commitment to renewable energy offset programs. With MedLock, compliance extends beyond safety into environmental responsibility.

Building Consumer Confidence Through Proof


Tamper-evident packaging is the physical expression of trust between a producer and their customer. When consumers see a broken band or tear notch, they know the product was protected until it reached their hands. For LPs, it means assurance that their brand meets every audit and inspection standard without additional work.


MedLock’s TE portfolio delivers visible integrity, simple assembly, and complete certification—because the safest packaging is the one that proves it.
