Cannabis in Digitally Printed Pouches from Wild to Mild

Seven unique stand-up pouches of cannabis digitally printed with distinct packaging designs range from totally bonkers to jazzy to basic.

Three diverse markets converge in the red-hot intersection of cannabis, stand-up pouch packaging, and digital printing. Vacuum Cleaner Dust Bag

Individually these markets are experiencing solid growth, presented in ascending order:

The global stand-up pouches market is forecast to expand globally at a rate of 6.8% yearly 2022 to 2026 to surpass $6.3 billion.

The global digital printing market size was estimated at $27.4 billion in 2021 and is projected to surpass $49.7 billion by 2030 at an annual 6.84% growth rate 2022 to 2030.

The global cannabis market is growing an estimated 24.3% yearly 2022 to 2026 to reach a value of $82.3 billion by 2027.

What happens when these three markets merge? I found out few months ago in the tradeshow booth of digital printing specialist HP . The stand offered several displays of brands’ digitally printed packaging from beverage labels to cannabis pouches. While the former was impressive, the latter featured several creative graphics schemes for stand-up pouches from brands that were "wow, that's really crazy!" We present these digitally printed cannabis pouches in the accompanying slideshow gallery, presented in wild-to-mild order starting with an outlandish packaging design.

In terms of shelf impact, this one’s a stick of dynamite.
