What Cannaline does

Cannaline (legal name: Cannaline Packaging Solutions) is a US cannabis packaging company founded in 2009 and headquartered in Jessup, Maryland. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes child-resistant, tamper-evident, and smell-proof packaging for licensed cannabis operators, serving five primary customer verticals: cannabis dispensaries, cultivators and growers, edibles manufacturers, pre-roll producers, and concentrate producers. Cannaline introduced the industry's first screw-top concentrate container at founding and has since built a broad product catalog spanning mylar bags, glass and plastic jars, pre-roll tubes, concentrate containers, dropper bottles, exit bags, clam shell blisters, pre-rolled cones, and supporting accessories such as heat sealers, humidity packs, compliance stickers, and custom-branded promotional items.

Cannaline's core technology centers on proprietary materials and mechanical innovations: ViziClear™ ultra-clear silicone containers, multi-layer proprietary compound film bags that meet FDA Food Grade protocols and are fully recyclable, EZ-Open locking child-resistant zipper systems, and high-quality smell-proof zipper designs. All child-resistant products are certified under CPSC Title 16 Part 1700.20 for Poison Prevention Packaging, and the company produces state-specific code bags for AZ, CA, WA, and DC cannabis regulatory regimes. Custom-printed packaging with low minimum order quantities and a full-service in-house design team extend the offering beyond commodity SKUs into branded, compliance-ready solutions.

The business operates a B2B go-to-market through a direct e-commerce storefront at cannaline.com, supplemented by phone-based inside sales (301-996-7225) and by-appointment pickup at the Jessup corporate office. Revenue derives from one-time sales of pre-manufactured catalog products, custom-printed packaging projects quoted per engagement, and volume-based wholesale transactions priced with quantity-break tiers. Cannaline is privately held and bootstrapped, with no external institutional capital, acquisitions, or parent company disclosed; Arnold Heckman serves as Founder and CEO. The company distributes across multiple US states with products subject to a 15% tariff at checkout and serves a long-tail of small-to-mid-market cannabis operators rather than a concentrated enterprise customer base.
