You've built a great pre-roll. Now it's time for the packaging to say so.
For cannabis brands that take presentation seriously, packaging is never an afterthought — it's one of the first things a customer sees, touches, and judges your product by. The 116mm child-resistant pop-top pre-roll tube with custom labels from Dragon Chewer is one of the most effective and affordable ways to put a professional branded face on your pre-rolls at wholesale scale.
Here's everything you need to know.
Why 116mm? The Industry-Standard Size for Pre-Roll Packaging
The 116mm pre-roll tube is the go-to size for king-size and 1-gram pre-rolls — the most common format sold in legal cannabis markets across the US. Its dimensions provide a snug, secure fit for single pre-rolls, keeping contents protected from humidity, damage, and odor while maintaining the sleek form factor that consumers and dispensary buyers expect.
The pop-top mechanism delivers genuine child-resistant performance — meeting CPSC standards under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA) — without creating the frustrating experience of packaging that's equally difficult for adults. Press the ridged sides, pop the top, and it opens cleanly. That combination of compliance and usability is why the 116mm CR pop-top tube remains the dominant pre-roll packaging format in the industry.
The Case for Custom Labels on Pre-Roll Tubes
Stock tubes are fine. Branded tubes are a business asset.
In a retail environment — whether that's a dispensary shelf, a delivery bag, or an online product photo — branded packaging does work that no amount of word-of-mouth can fully replace. A custom-labeled pre-roll tube puts your logo, your strain name, your compliance information, and your brand aesthetic directly in front of every customer who touches your product.
More practically: custom labels are the most accessible entry point into branded pre-roll packaging. Compared to fully custom-printed tubes (which require higher MOQs, longer lead times, and larger upfront investment), custom labels offer:
- Lower minimum order quantities — accessible for growing brands
- Faster turnaround — 7 to 15 business days from proof approval
- Full design flexibility — change artwork per strain or seasonal run
- Compliance-ready — room for required state labeling elements
- Wholesale pricing — no retail markup, no hidden fees
For brands launching their first custom packaging or testing new strain lines, custom-labeled 116mm tubes hit the sweet spot between brand quality and operational reality.
What Makes Dragon Chewer's Custom Labels Different
Precision-Cut for Automated Application
Dragon Chewer's custom label template is specifically engineered for automated label application on our 116mm pop-top CR tubes. That means labels that align perfectly, wrap cleanly, and look professional — without air bubbles, misalignment, or manual inconsistency. If you're applying labels in volume, this matters.
Premium Materials with Vinyl Backing
These labels are produced on high-quality vinyl-backed stock with a strong, durable adhesive. Once applied, they're built to stay put through handling, retail display, and the end consumer experience. The premium finish — whether gloss or matte — gives your branding a polished look that holds up from production floor to customer hands.
Advanced Printing Process
Dragon Chewer uses advanced printing technology to produce labels with crisp lines, accurate color reproduction, and fine detail. Whether your brand aesthetic is minimal and clean or bold and intricate, the print quality reflects it accurately — so what you design is what you get.
Built for Compliance
The label template is sized to accommodate your brand artwork and required state compliance information — THC content, universal symbols, strain info, and required warnings — without crowding either. Dragon Chewer's team reviews artwork for compliance-readiness and can flag potential issues before your order goes to print.
How to Order: 5 Simple Steps
Dragon Chewer built the custom label process to be as frictionless as possible. Here's exactly how it works:
- Add to cart and checkout. Place your order for 116mm pre-roll tubes with custom labels (2,500 qty.) directly on the Dragon Chewer website.
- Request your label template. Email sales@dragonchewer.com after checkout to receive the custom label template file.
- Submit your artwork. Send your completed design, notes, and order number back to sales@dragonchewer.com. Not sure about file formats? See below.
- Review your proof. Dragon Chewer will send you a digital print proof for final review before production begins. Take your time — we don't print until you approve.
- Approve and receive. Once you approve the proof, production begins. Most orders are completed in 7 to 15 business days, with shipping taking an additional 3 to 5 business days.
That's it. No complex onboarding, no guesswork, no back-and-forth over specifications. Just branded pre-roll tubes delivered to your door.
Artwork Requirements
For the best print results, Dragon Chewer recommends submitting your artwork as an Adobe Illustrator (.ai) file that is fully vectorized and outlined. Vector files scale without quality loss, which ensures sharp edges, accurate colors, and clean text at any size.
Don't have a vectorized file? A high-resolution .pdf is accepted for most jobs — though print quality will reflect the source file's resolution. If you're not sure what format you have, send it over and the Dragon Chewer team will take a look.
Need help with your artwork? Dragon Chewer's team can assist with placing your design onto the label template and making minor adjustments. For full design work, we can connect you with trusted designers in our network. No brand should be held back by a design hurdle — reach out and we'll point you in the right direction.
