DESIGNED FOR EFFICIENCY

With EZ Lock packout is a breeze

We understand how complex and time-consuming packout operations can get. Our boxes deliver partially assembled and unlocked with the tray half open and the child-resistant lock disengaged to speed up the opening and placement operations during packout.

This saves space in your warehouse and reduces time sorting and managing separate components. The combination of innovations allows for a huge time savings on the line and reduces fatigue and quantity of personnel.

Wear-tested and re-closable over 1,000 times

Reduce pack-out times by 75% with simple 3-step assembly

Minimize lead times by leveraging our domestic manufacturing infrastructure

COAST CANNABIS CO. came to us looking for something unique and immediately connected with our ORG story, seeing strong alignment with their brand values and beliefs. At the time, the ORG tray was only available in one size, but it was a perfect ﬁt for their best-selling product—chocolate bars—so no additional sizing or variability was needed.

The tray itself is our standard black version, though they’re considering a switch to white or even a custom blue down the line. The sleeve artwork highlights our rePurpose logos, reﬂecting their commitment as partners in our Talk Trash programming.
