The Cannabidoil (CBD) market is booming, with sales in the US predicted to surpass $20bn by 2024 and in the UK the sector is projected to be worth €3.2bn by 2025.
CBD products in sectors such as beauty and skincare, sport and wellbeing and medical and pharmaceutical are being brought to market either as an extension to an existing range, or by new entrants.
Abbie Surfleet, business development director at GPA Global, said: [We`re very excited about our new division and already we`re working with some of the world`s leading CBD brands. The requirements for CBD packaging can be quite exacting and our talented team of designers works with each client to ensure the packaging delivers both the practical and aesthetic features the product requires."
From vape pens to oils and tinctures to edibles (gummies) and creams, CBD can be used in a wide range of formats. GPA has already established a range of fully customisable packaging styles to meet these needs. Amber glass and airtight seals are used where needed to prevent degradation, whilst food-safe packaging is essential for gummies and other edibles and child-resistant features are also available.
GPA is offering a label and packaging design service for the sector, helping brands create the secondary packaging that they need to make their product stand out.
