Explore our high-performance engineered bags, child-resistant barrier pouches, and custom branded packaging.
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) shatter represents one of the most chemically sensitive and visually demanding cannabis concentrates on the commercial market. Preserving its amber translucency, brittle texture, and volatile terpene profile requires enterprise-grade multi-layer packaging engineering.
Terpenes act as natural solvents that can degrade inferior plastics and cause leaching. Our custom shatter packaging utilizes ultra-pure PTFE inserts, non-stick silicone-coated parchment, and EVOH high-barrier films that prevent terpene migration and maintain profile potency over extended shelf lives.
Regulatory compliance is non-negotiable. We engineer multi-action child-resistant (CR) closure mechanisms—including pinch-and-slide zippers, push-and-turn tin locks, and certified tear-notch locks—certified under US CPSC 16 CFR 1700.20 and ASTM D3475 standards.
Shatter auto-budderizes (loses transparency and turns buttery) when exposed to ambient humidity and oxygen. Our multi-layer aluminum foil laminates deliver Water Vapor Transmission Rates (WVTR) below 0.05 g/m²/24h and Oxygen Transmission Rates (OTR) under 0.05 cc/m²/24h.
Custom THC shatter packaging requires precise material selection to guarantee product stability, structural integrity, and premium shelf appeal. Below is an engineering overview of our proprietary composite film structures designed for cannabis extractions.
| Layer Structure | Material Composition | Primary Function & Performance Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Outer Layer | Matte BOPP / Soft-Touch PET / Kraft Paper | High-definition gravure & digital graphics, tactile luxury feel, UV protection layer. |
| Barrier Core | AL (Pure Aluminum Foil) / VMPET / EVOH | Total light blockage, zero oxygen ingress, absolute humidity barrier preventing crystal breakdown. |
| Inner Contact Layer | Food-Grade LLDPE / Oleophobic PTFE / Silicone | Chemical resistance against terpene degradation, non-stick release properties, thermal sealing. |
| Internal Substrate | Bleached Virgin Parchment / Fluoropolymer Film | Ensures 0% product loss, easy consumer extraction, zero wax absorption. |
Founded in 2011, YPAK operates three facilities across Hong Kong, Dongguan, and Foshan, emerging as one of China’s leading high-barrier pouch and custom cannabis bag manufacturers.
Our Foshan and Dongguan plants are BRCGS Food Safety and ISO 22000:2018 certified—ensuring every pouch meets rigorous global food contact and pharmaceutical-grade standards with full batch traceability. We fit Swiss WIPF one-way degassing valves as standard where applicable and utilize top-tier multi-track child-resistant closure systems.
Our state-of-the-art HP Indigo 25K digital press enables plate-free, low-MOQ print runs with photorealistic print quality—perfect for limited concentrate drops, multi-flavor strain SKUs, and rapid market testing.
With a proven 99.5% on-time delivery rate, we keep your commercial filling lines moving seamlessly. Our recyclable mono-material PE and compostable pouches help your cannabis brand stay ahead of strict environmental regulations in North America, the UK, and the EU without sacrificing barrier performance.
In May 2012, YPAK launched its first complete high-speed flexible packaging production line, establishing baseline technical capability for high-barrier pouch converting.
In March 2016, expanded machinery footprint to begin manufacturing specialized flat bottom bags and box pouches for high-end retail packaging.
In August 2017, established the second production line, doubling manufacturing throughput and expanding specialized cleanroom converting operations.
In April 2018, adopted 100% solvent-free composite lamination technology, eliminating VOC emissions and ensuring zero residual odor for sensitive products.
In June & July 2020, introduced automatic ink adjustment systems and full-scale ERP production tracking, achieving precision color accuracy (Delta E < 1.5) and total batch traceability.
In October 2021, introduced the HP INDIGO 25K digital printing press. This enabled plate-free variable data printing, rapid strain prototyping, and zero MOQ runs for custom cannabis packaging.
Navigating the complex legal framework of legal cannabis markets across North America (US States & Canada) and Europe requires hyper-localized regulatory expertise. Non-compliant packaging leads to inventory impoundment, heavy fines, and brand damage.
We manufacture custom shatter envelopes and Mylar pouches pre-printed with state-mandated universal warning symbols (e.g., California CA Universal Symbol, Colorado Red Diamond, Oregon Universal THC Icon, Washington State, Michigan, and Nevada compliance marks).
For Canadian licensed producers (LPs), we provide fully opaque, child-resistant, tamper-evident packaging adhering strictly to the Canada Cannabis Act. Includes standardization for health warning messaging space, standardized cannabis symbol size, and matte finish constraints.
Our child-resistant ziplocks and rigid concentrate boxes undergo third-party protocol testing to meet 16 CFR 1700.20 standards. Proven to prevent access by children under 5 years old while remaining accessible for seniors.
As an direct manufacturer based in Guangdong (Foshan & Dongguan), YPAK provides enterprise clients with an unassailable competitive edge in purchasing economics, speed-to-market, and custom structural engineering.
By eliminating middleman brokers and trading companies, our clients secure direct factory pricing. Scale economies across our 3 manufacturing hubs lower unit production costs by up to 35% compared to domestic Western converters, maximizing your profit margins per unit.
We combine high-volume gravure printing presses (up to 10 colors for large runs) with our HP Indigo 25K digital platform. This hybrid model allows enterprise clients to order small-batch seasonal concentrate drops alongside multi-million unit core strain inventory.
Our production workflow integrates high-resolution inline machine vision inspection systems. Every pouch is scanned in real-time for print alignment, color variance, seal integrity, and zipper functionality, backed by ISO 22000 hygiene control standards.
We provide full customs handling, tax duty clearance (DDP), and sea/air freight forwarding directly to your distribution centers across North America, Europe, and Australia. Real-time ERP tracking ensures total shipment visibility.
Elevate your THC shatter brand above commodity offerings. Premium extracts command premium shelf presence. We offer an array of specialized surface treatments, custom enclosures, and structural die-cuts tailored for luxury extract market positioning.
Custom rainbow holographic foil stamping and refractive metallic effects that catch retail light and deter counterfeiting.
Contrast velvet-feel soft-touch matte film with high-gloss Spot UV highlights over logos and strain graphics.
Precision clear or tinted die-cut windows allowing consumers to inspect shatter clarity and amber purity safely.
Certified certified single/double push-and-slide zippers, press-to-open locks, and heavy-duty tinplate latch cans.
The legal cannabis extract sector is shifting rapidly toward sustainability, luxury unboxing experiences, and smart packaging integration. YPAK leads these trends by incorporating modern material science into real-world dispensary environments.
