The short answer
For pre-rolls, a printed doob tube is the cheapest branded package: $0.70 each at 500 down to $0.48 at 10,000+. Use blunt tubes for larger rolls, a child-resistant tube when the package is the retail container, and tins or glass jars when you want packaging customers keep.

- Blunt tubes: longer and wider for blunts and king-size rolls. Blunt tubes.
- Joint tubes: more colors and finishes. Joint tubes.
- Child-resistant tubes: squeeze-to-open closure for products sold at retail. Childproof tubes.
Child-resistant rules
Most adult-use states require cannabis sold to consumers to leave the store in certified child-resistant packaging. A standard pop-top doob tube is a promotional or secondary container, not a child-resistant one. If the tube is your retail package, order the child-resistant version and confirm your state's packaging and labeling rules.
