Packaging Technology Keeps Vireo Health’s Cannabis Flower Flavorful and Potent Longer

The packaging system preserves naturally occurring compounds within the flower, creating a robust, consistent product for consumers.

A group of compounds collectively referred to as terpenes are what provide the characteristic smell and flavor of cannabis. There is evidence that terpenes are also responsible for some of the pharmacological benefits of medical cannabis. These compounds are very volatile, however, so as soon as the plants are harvested, these molecules evaporate into the air–especially during drying and storage.

Vireo Health International Inc., a physician-founded, science-focused multi-state cannabis company, signed an exclusive licensing agreement with eBottles420–a supplier of high-quality packaging for the cannabis market–to manufacture and distribute Vireo’s patent-pending, terpene-preserving packaging system to keep the product consistent.

How the system works

This system is designed to preserve cannabis flower by inhibiting the gradual loss of terpenes within jars–made from any standard material, such as glass or plastics–by including a source of volatile terpene compounds within the package itself. These will resupply the headspace equilibrium, meaning the terpenes in the flower won’t have an equilibrium drive to fill the air space.

Using a 12-cavity injection mold, eBottles420 created a basket– made from a proprietary blend of recyclable plastics to ensure material compatibility with terpenes insofar as those compounds can have some incompatibilities with some plastics–that fits into the underside of the jar’s cap, which hangs down slightly into the jar’s headspace. Inside the basket is the matrix that cannabis producers impregnate with the terpene compound.
