Craft Lock Box

Craft Lock Box is Studio On Fire’s exclusive Child-Resistant packaging solution. As an established leader in the specialty printing industry, we know a thing or two about luxury and premium packaging. Our in-demand pressure based printing capabilities, such as hot foil stamping and letterpress printing, set our clients apart from their competitors. Made in the USA with fully recyclable materials - all paper, no plastic.

CUSTOMIZATION

Craft Lock Box can be customized to your brand, product and budget in several ways. We can create custom box sizes and unique inserts to tightly fit your array of products, from pre-rolls and vape cartridges to edibles and so much more. We also offer custom graphic design solutions to make your packaging as unique as your brand.

LUXURY

As more state laws are requiring CR packaging, high-end cannabis brands are left with few sustainable options that meet their aesthetic standards; that’s where Craft Lock Box comes in. Craft Lock Box doesn’t sacrifice design with disruptive or complicated locking mechanisms. Our 100% paper-made locking mechanism is subtle and discreet, allowing for more focus on the print and design quality of each box. Developed with design-conscious cannabis brands in mind, Craft Lock Box is the number one choice for sustainable CR packaging that doesn’t compromise luxury.

SUSTAINABILITY

Craft Lock Box is a one-of-a-kind sustainable child-resistant solution. Unlike the majority of child-resistant options on the market, Craft Lock Box is produced in the USA, is 100% made of paper and 100% recyclable (all at our shop in St Paul, Minnesota actually). There are zero plastic components in the box and its locking mechanism, designed strategically by our award-winning structural design team.

 

AWARD-WINNING PRINTING

Studio On Fire has been an expert in the specialty printing industry for over 20 years and we’ve won our fair share of printing and design awards for the exceptional work we do. Our highly-skilled team of press operators and printers can make all of your letterpress, foil stamping and emboss/deboss dreams come true. Not only can the outer sleeve be customized on the outer sleeve of the package, a custom insert can be specifically designed to fit your product and masterfully printed by our team. If specialty printing isn’t within your budget or brand look, we also offer offset and digital print options to keep costs down while still maintaining high quality standards.

CERTIFIED CHILD-RESISTANT

Craft Lock Box Classic and Pocket sizes are certified child-resistant in the United States and Canada (16 CFR § 1700.20 and ISO 8317:2015), while the mini size is pending. This means that our sustainable child-resistant structure had to undergo multiple tests to ensure children could not access the contents, but also ensure that older/senior adults would still be able to open it successfully. Please note that additional custom-size certifications will be based on individual client needs.

The mechanism works by pinching the top of the box, as indicated by the arrow, causing the thick-stock paper to be pushed out of its locked position where it can then freely move forward Another layer of paper is built into the front of the sleeve to catch the tray from completely pulling out. Both the instructions and locking mechanism are built into the bottom/back of the box so that the instructions/pinching won’t obstruct the art on the front, keeping your branding as the focal point.

SUBTLE DESIGN

Craft Lock Box stands out as the premium option for child-resistant boxes because of its subtle and discreet locking mechanism. No parts of the box are sticking out, have disruptive die cuts, or are intrusive to the overall design of the package. Studio On Fire values design and quality printing over anything, and would never want our child-resistant solution to sacrifice or compromise your brand's aesthetics.

HOW TO OPEN


STEP ONE

First make sure the “pinch here” side of the box is facing up (as shown in the illustration); then place your thumb over the “pinch here” circle with your forefingers on the opposite side of the box.

STEP TWO

Pinch down on that spot with your thumb and begin to pull the tray out from the other end with your other hand (see animation). Once the tray starts to slide out you can release from pinching and continue sliding until it locks in place and you can access the contents.

STEP THREE

Once you’re done using the box, push the inner tray back in and it will lock back in place!
