Pop-Top Cannabis Containers — Wholesale Child Resistant Bottles & Pre-Roll Tubes
The pop-top mechanism is the defining closure of cannabis retail packaging. Walk into any dispensary in any regulated market and you'll find it — on flower bottles, on pre-roll tubes, on edible containers. It's the standard because it works: child-resistant, fast to open for adults, durable through repeated use, and compliant across virtually every regulated cannabis market in the country.
Dragon Chewer's Pop Tops collection brings together 186 products spanning the two main formats that use this mechanism: pop-top dram bottles for flower and edibles, and pop-top pre-roll tubes for single joints and multi-packs. One collection, two product families, pricing from $0.04/unit, free shipping on eligible orders.
If you need pop-top packaging — for any cannabis product, in any volume — this is your starting point.
Understanding the Pop-Top Mechanism
The pop-top closure is one of the most elegant solutions in cannabis packaging. The mechanism works through a combination of compression and angular lift: to open, you squeeze the sides of the cap inward (compressing it slightly) while simultaneously pressing down and rotating or lifting. The combination of these two simultaneous actions — compression and directional lift — is what makes the closure child-resistant. Young children typically lack the hand strength, coordination, and conceptual understanding to execute both motions together.
For adults, the motion becomes intuitive within a few uses. Dispensary budtenders who package hundreds of products per shift can open and close pop-top bottles and tubes in under a second. That operational efficiency matters in a busy retail environment where packaging speed is a real variable in customer wait time and throughput.
The pop-top mechanism is also reusable — unlike heat-sealed bags or single-use containers, pop-top bottles and tubes close and reopen reliably through many cycles. Consumers who store their cannabis between uses appreciate having a container that closes securely every time.
Two Product Families in One Collection
This collection covers two distinct product types that share the pop-top mechanism. Use the filters on this page to navigate between them:
- Pop-Top Dram Bottles — wide-mouth cylindrical bottles for flower, edibles, and concentrate packaging. Filter by "Dram" to see the full range from 6 dram through 160 dram.
- Pop-Top Pre-Roll Tubes — narrow cylindrical tubes sized for single and multi-pack pre-rolls. Filter by "Tube Length" to see the 80mm, 92mm, and 116mm options.
Both families are available in child-resistant configurations. Both span a wide color range. Both are priced at wholesale rates for real cannabis operating volumes.
Pop-Top Dram Bottles — Flower, Edibles, and More
Pop-top dram bottles are the cannabis industry's most ubiquitous flower container. The wide-mouth opening makes them easy to fill by hand or machine; the cylindrical shape stacks efficiently in back-of-house and retail storage; the smooth surface takes wraparound labels cleanly; and the pop-top cap closes with a satisfying click that consumers associate with quality and security.
Dram Sizes and Flower Capacity
| Dram Size | Approx. Flower Capacity | Case Qty | Per Unit | Per Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 Dram | ~0.5–1g | 300 | $0.08 | $24.95 |
| 13 Dram | ~1–2g | 315 | $0.07 | $22.95 |
| 19 Dram | ~3.5g (1/8 oz) | 225 | $0.10 | $22.95 |
| 25 Dram (Rip N Shred) | ~5–7g + grinder | 225 | $0.15 | $33.95 |
| 30 Dram | ~7g (1/4 oz) | 160 | $0.14 | $22.95 |
| 60 Dram | ~14g (1/2 oz) | 75 | $0.30 | $22.95 |
| 90 Dram | ~21–28g (oz) | 60 | $0.38 | $22.95 |
| 160 Dram | ~28g+ (oz+) | 33 | $0.60 | $19.95 |
The 19 dram is the most commonly ordered bottle size in cannabis retail — it's the right fit for an eighth of flower and has become the industry standard for dispensary eighth programs nationwide. If you're only stocking one bottle size, start here.
Color Options for Dram Bottles
Our dram bottle lineup covers a wide color palette across opaque and translucent options:
Opaque: Black, White, Green, Aqua, Gold, Red, Purple, Lime Green Highlighter
Translucent: Clear, Green, Blue, Purple, Smoke
Color is one of the simplest ways to build brand consistency in cannabis retail. A dispensary that uses the same signature color bottle across its entire house flower program trains customers to associate that color with their brand. It's low-cost brand building that compounds over time — every reorder reinforces the association.
The Rip N Shred — Pop-Top + Built-In Grinder
The standout product in the dram bottle lineup is the 25 Dram Rip N Shred — a child-resistant pop-top bottle with a fully functional herb grinder built into the base. Store flower in the bottle, flip it upside down, and use the grinder built into the bottom to process it. Available in black, clear, and translucent green at $0.15/unit in 225-unit cases.
The Rip N Shred is a genuine conversation piece — the kind of packaging that customers pick up, turn over, and immediately show to whoever they're with. For house brands and specialty product lines, it's a differentiator that costs $0.15 per unit and generates disproportionate word-of-mouth.
Pop-Top Pre-Roll Tubes — Fast, Compliant, and Flexible
Pop-top pre-roll tubes use the same squeeze-and-lift mechanism as dram bottles, adapted for the elongated cylindrical format that fits pre-rolls and joints. They're the fastest, most cost-effective compliant pre-roll packaging in the industry.
Tube Sizes
| Length | Best For | Case Qty | Per Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80mm | Shorts, half-gram pre-rolls | 1,150 | $0.04 |
| 92mm | Standard 1g slim pre-rolls | 700 | $0.04 |
| 116mm | King-size 1–1.5g pre-rolls | 500 | $0.05 |
| 116mm Wide | 2–3 unit multipacks | 225 | $0.13 |
116mm tubes are available in the widest color selection: black, white, clear, green, gold, red, blue, purple, smoke, translucent green, translucent blue, translucent red, translucent purple, and translucent mix. 92mm and 80mm tubes are available in a more focused color range.
Standard vs. Open Lid Tubes
Most tubes ship with the pop-top lid already assembled. Open Lid variants — available in the 80mm and 92mm sizes — ship with the lid and tube body separated, designed for automated or semi-automated tube-filling equipment. Hand-filling operations should order standard assembled tubes; production lines with filling equipment should check for Open Lid availability in their preferred size.
Using the Filters to Find Your Product
With 186 products in this collection, the filters are essential:
- Dram — filter to a specific dram size (6, 13, 19, 30, 60, 90, 160) for dram bottle results only
- Tube Length — filter to 80mm, 92mm, or 116mm for pre-roll tube results only
- Color — narrow to a specific color across both product families
- Opaque — show only fully opaque containers, important for markets requiring opaque cannabis packaging
- Child Resistant — all products in this collection are CR, but this filter confirms it if needed for compliance documentation
- Flower Capacity — filter to a gram weight if you know what capacity you need but aren't sure of the dram equivalent
Combining Dram + Color or Tube Length + Color filters will surface exactly the SKU you need without scrolling through the full 186-product catalog.
Who Shops the Pop Tops Collection?
Dispensary buyers restocking weekly — high-volume dispensaries need both dram bottles for flower and tubes for pre-rolls, often in multiple colors and sizes. The Pop Tops collection is the one-stop shop for operators who want to consolidate both product types into a single order.
Cannabis brands building a packaging system — brands that sell both flower and pre-rolls need packaging that looks cohesive. Buying matching color bottles and tubes from the same collection makes building a visually unified packaging system straightforward.
Cultivators packaging for wholesale distribution — farms and processors packaging product for dispensary distribution need reliable, compliant containers at scale. Pop-top bottles and tubes are accepted everywhere, stackable for efficient shipping, and available at per-unit costs that work for wholesale margin structures.
Operators new to cannabis packaging — if you're setting up your first dispensary or launching your first branded product line, the pop-top format is the right starting point. It's universally understood, operationally simple, and available at low enough minimums (as few as 33 units for 160 dram bottles) that you can test sizes and colors before committing to larger quantities.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a dram bottle and a pre-roll tube in this collection?
Dram bottles are wider-mouth containers for flower and edibles — the size is measured in drams, which roughly correspond to gram weights of cannabis flower. Pre-roll tubes are narrow cylinders sized to hold pre-rolls — the size is measured in millimeters of length. Both use a pop-top CR mechanism. Use the Dram or Tube Length filters to separate the two product types.
What dram size do I need for an eighth of flower?
The 19 dram bottle is the industry standard for an eighth (3.5g) of cannabis flower. It provides the right volume for most flower densities with room for the product to settle naturally.
What tube length fits a king-size pre-roll?
The 116mm tube fits most king-size pre-rolls (finished length 90–110mm). Measure your specific pre-rolls before ordering in volume — finished length varies by paper, cone type, and filling density.
Are all products in this collection child resistant?
Yes — every product in the Pop Tops collection uses a pop-top child-resistant mechanism designed to meet CPSC standards. Dram bottles use a standard pop-top; 6 dram bottles use a latch-top variant. Both are CR certified.
Can I order dram bottles and pre-roll tubes in the same order?
Yes — add any combination of products to your cart. Free shipping applies to eligible combined orders regardless of which product types you're mixing.
What is the Rip N Shred?
The Rip N Shred is a 25 dram pop-top bottle with a built-in herb grinder integrated into the base. Store flower in the bottle, flip it over, and grind directly from the bottom. Available in black, clear, and translucent green at $0.15/unit. A genuine product differentiator for house brands and specialty SKUs.
