What Cooljarz does

Cooljarz, operating as a brand under Earthwise Packaging Inc., is a Southern California-based manufacturer of child-resistant packaging, shrink-sleeve labeling machinery, and branding solutions for the regulated cannabis, hemp, vape, beverage, and nutraceutical industries. Its product portfolio spans the EcoLite line of US 16 CFR 1700.20-certified pre-roll tubes and containers (including reGrind PCR recycled and BioMax plant-based variants), the patented SST steam-based shrink-sleeve applicator systems, the HotShot Pro cartridge oil filling machines, and custom or pre-printed strain sleeve label services with on-demand variable data printing. Technology is centered on steam-actuated shrink sleeve application protected by three US patents, servo-actuated container stoppers for precise timing, and an integrated variable-data thermal transfer printing workflow that handles compliance text, barcodes, and QR codes at up to 900 sleeves per hour.

The company operates a factory-direct go-to-market through its own e-commerce site (cooljarz.com) and related brand storefronts, with a direct sales team for custom packaging and machinery projects. Pricing spans high-volume consumables (pre-roll tubes at $0.057-$0.094 per unit depending on volume) to premium production machinery (HotShot Pro SE at $12,900). Customers are primarily SMB licensed cannabis operators, beverage canners, and supplement brands; the company offers tax-exempt business accounts for verified resellers. Free local pickup is available at the Tustin facility, and products are positioned as Made-in-USA with no tariff exposure. Strategic emphasis is on compliance-driven packaging, sustainability (BioMax sugarcane-derived jars, 30% PCR tubes, up to 50% plastic reduction versus competitors), and integrated branding services that allow customers to obtain retail-ready packaging from a single domestic vendor.
