Case Case Studies Studies

Gpen The team at GPEN partnered with EZ Lock to accelerate speed-to-market and introduce digital embellishments for their fill partners on the GIO pod system line.

By leveraging EZ Lock’s domestic manufacturing capabilities, GPEN enabled partners to launch into new markets in less than six weeks—from artwork design to final approval. EZ Lock’s digital print technology also opened the door for strain-specific carton artwork, while keeping setup costs low and customization highly flexible.

79

Case Case Studies Studies

Select When Select underwent their rebrand, they turned to EZ Lock for packaging that was both unique and proven. The brand chose the EZ Lock Flex Line to house their vape carts and disposables, including their flagship BRIQ and CLIQ devices.

Packaging featured custom molded clips for secure placement, a tray in Select’s signature Selectric Blue, and a sleeve with premium finishes including foil, spot UV, and variable data labeling — bringing their bold new identity to life on shelf.

81

Case Studies

Coast Cannabis Co. 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.
