As more states begin to legalize psychedelics, companies in this emerging industry must start thinking about how they will package their products. Without official federal regulation on the topic, knowing how to approach this aspect of the business can be difficult.
Sana Packaging is an expert concerning regulated cannabis and psychedelic packaging. Today, we want to share our thoughts on approaching the packaging of legal psilocybin microdose capsules.
What is Psilocybin?
Psilocybin is a psychedelic compound found in many species of mushrooms. The types of mushrooms that contain psilocybin are often known as “magic mushrooms” or, colloquially, just “shrooms.”
Psilocybin is an entheogen, a psychedelic compound known to produce spiritual experiences that often leave individuals feeling more connected to the world and themselves. It shows strong promise for therapeutic use, though more research is needed to determine best practices.
What is Microdosing Psilocybin?
When most people think of psychedelics, they think of a “macrodose,” which refers to taking enough of a compound to feel marked shifts in perception. Microdosing, however, refers to taking a much smaller amount of the same substance — often barely enough to feel any conscious effects.
Though more research is needed on microdosing psilocybin, the practice is gaining popularity in health and wellness spaces. Proponents say that taking an extremely low dose of this entheogen helps them maintain a more balanced mood and positive outlook.
What are Psilocybin Microdosing Capsules?
As a regulated psychedelic industry begins to form, we are beginning to see legal psilocybin microdosing products hit the market. These products are typically sold in the dosage delivery form of pills, capsules, or gummies.
Psilocybin mushroom capsules are made from easy-to-dissolve and/or timed-release ingredients and filled with ground psychedelic mushrooms for easy, tightly dosed consumption.
What Will Legal Psilocybin Mushroom Packaging Look Like?
As legalization and regulation progress, psychedelic products will likely face packaging requirements similar to those placed on cannabis packaging. Sana Packaging strongly encourages burgeoning companies to proactively take a similarly responsible approach to packaging psychedelics.
Jars for Psilocybin Capsules
Resealable jars are typically the best packaging for psilocybin capsules for several reasons. Opaque glass or plastic protects the product inside. Packages of psilocybin microdose capsules contain multiple servings, and jars enable secure container resealing. Further, jars are easy to customize.
Our Sana Ocean Jar is an excellent option for legal psilocybin microdosing capsules. This 4oz jar is fully opaque, recyclable, and made with reclaimed ocean-bound plastic. It is compatible with all 53-400 child-resistant closures and is fully customizable through Sana Packaging.
Child-Resistant Closures on Psychedelic Packaging
Just as with all psychoactive products, it’s important to ensure that packages for psychedelics are child-resistant or childproof to keep children safe.
Our Sana Ocean Screw-Top Lid 53-400 is child-resistant and pairs perfectly with our 4oz jars. These lids come with an airtight seal to keep your psilocybin capsules fresh and free from contaminants, and we can help customize them with numerous color and labeling options.
Responsible Labeling for Regulated Mushroom Psilocybin Packaging
Legal cannabis products must clearly indicate that they contain THC, and even alcohol must clearly display health warnings on the packaging. Legal psychedelic packaging will likely have similar labeling requirements.
Sana Packaging offers complete customization of all our products, with multiple printing options to ensure your company can provide customers with all the information they need on the container. Our customization options will allow you to comply with regulations, keep your consumers safe and informed, and leverage your brand’s aesthetic to stand out on shelves.
Eco-Friendly Packaging for Psychedelics
Customers are more concerned than ever about supporting eco-friendly brands and purchasing sustainable products. Though it likely won’t be included in the regulations on psychedelic packaging, your company can stay ahead of the curve and set itself apart from the competition by opting for eco-friendly packaging for your psilocybin products.
Sana Packaging is dedicated to creating the most sustainable psychedelic packaging possible. Our jars and lids are made with reclaimed ocean-bound plastic, and consumers can fully and easily recycle them after use.
