Best Preroll Machine for Copacking Businesses

Best Preroll Machine for Copacking Businesses

As the cannabis industry continues to evolve, prerolls also continue to be one of the most popular products sold by dispensaries. Let’s face it, running a cannabis business isn’t the easiest. With strict regulations defined not just by state, but down to cities and zip codes, it has become increasingly difficult to build, maintain, and grow a cannabis brand. With these hurdles, naturally solutions such as copacking have become increasingly popular for all types of cannabis brands. Whether a business is interested in starting preroll production, or if said business has been doing it for a while and are simply trying to find ways to cut operation and production costs and improve the bottom line, copacking is an ideal solution. 

As a copacker, it is crucial to have the right systems and solutions that make your life easier, creating both a fluid and dynamic production line that makes it easier to cater to your customers needs, capture more markets, and offer products that meet higher standards of consistency and quality. 

Choosing the right preroll machine for copacking businesses:

These days, there are tons of different types of preroll manufacturing systems to choose from, each with their own pros and cons, and each catering to different types of businesses. If you’re a copacker, here are some things that you should be reviewing in your search for the best preroll machine for your business. 

Reliability and Durability

As a preroll copacking business, your preroll production line needs to be in continuous operation every day in order to meet the demands and timelines of your customers. With that being said, it clearly means you will need to ensure that the preroll manufacturing systems and tools that you utilize are able to withstand the high volume output over a very long period of time. As you probably already know, downtime is going to be one of your worst enemies. 

Complex systems are what you will want to avoid here. The more complex a system is, there will always be an increased chance of a technical issue, and increased need for consistent cleaning and maintenance. Think about it this way, if a preroll packing machine has more parts, that just means more variables. Look for preroll machines that are designed more with simplicity in mind.

What makes the GPC a good preroll machine for reliability and durability?

• Simple design with less moving parts which reduces variables for technical issues. 

• Centrifugal force is used to pack cones and operates very smooth and quiet, reducing wear and tear over time with long term usage.

• Much easier to clean and maintain versus more complex systems that may require deep cleaning on a daily basis. 

• The GPC has been an industry favorite for over 8 years now, and is simply not known to have much downtime or repairs. 

Versatility

Your preroll manufacturing systems need to be able to handle the dynamic needs of your entire customer base. Obviously, not every preroll brand will want to have an identical product to their neighbor. In order to take on more custom private label projects. Look for preroll machines that offer a wider range of customization when it comes to what you can produce. Ideal systems would be more modular systems, rather than one machine that does everything, look to build your production line with different systems for grinding/shredding, packing, infusing, and closing. This will give you more versatility to change, or insert new steps for more customized projects. 

Avoid machines that produce a cookie cutter product that limit your ability to modify. Always consider modular over an “all-in-one” type of system, providing you with more flexibility with your product. 

What makes the GPC a good machine for versatility?

• The GPC is probably the most versatile preroll packing system, which uses interchangeable “preroll pods” that fit a variety of formats, making it easy to produce a variety of prerolls with multiple sizes and weights. It also makes it easy to work with multiple strains while reducing any cross-strain contamination. 

• Density Control, Density Control, Density Control! This is a huge factor in the GPC’s ability to be more versatile, making it possible to ensure a perfectly packed preroll regardless of production volume and regardless of the condition of the flower (ie. moist vs dry). No other preroll packing system has the ability to control the preroll density quite like the GPC. So if you plan to be working with a variety of strains, and need to be packing multiple preroll weights, then the GPC is definitely the right system for your copacking business. 

Scalability

Preroll machines come in a variety of sizes, and in many cases are designed for a particular range of volume. As a copacker, it is ideal to have a preroll machine that is easy to use for both small volume and large volume clientele. You may only need to produce just 10,000 prerolls for Client A, but Client B needs 500,000, so it is important to have a system in place that can handle both low and high volume orders, while also still maintaining the ability to be versatile and produce a different product spec. 

While there are many preroll packing machines available, most cater to a specific type of business. For example, they either are low cost tabletop starter systems, or high investment high volume systems that require a large facility with space for a series of production stations and operators. 

What makes the GPC the best preroll machine for scalability?

The GPC is a great medium, offering an efficient and cost effective solution to packing prerolls for both small businesses just starting out, or the larger preroll brands that are looking to scale. 

• The GPC can pack 396 prerolls in less than 60 seconds. In fact, depending on the flower density and moisture levels, you could have 396 properly packed prerolls in even just 30 seconds. This makes the GPC one of the most ideal machines for every preroll business regardless of their volume. This packing speed combined with  the highly effective interchangeable preroll pods, the GPC makes it incredibly easy for copacking businesses to pack a wide range of order quantities both efficiently and with precision.
