A Cost-Efficient Cannabis Packaging Success Story
STiiiZY Proction 1 | STiiiZY Proction 1 | JRNY

STIIIZY is a leading U.S. cannabis brand, known for its innovative pod system and premium products. With an expanding network of dispensaries and recognition as a top-selling vape and cannabis brand, STIIIZY is dedicated to revolutionizing the industry through its customer-focused approach and high-quality offerings.

STIIIZY partnered JRNY with the challenge of redesigning their battery packaging. Their main goal was to lower packaging costs while maintaining the brand’s integrity and user experience. With the high volume of orders, it was essential to find a cost-effective solution.

The Original Packaging

The original packaging was a two-piece rigid box (lid and base), which was robust but costly:

Challenges

High Costs with Large Volume Orders

STIIIZY's substantial order sizes required significant cost savings per unit to achieve a meaningful reduction in the overall budget.

High labor costs for assembly

Simplifying the packaging without losing its premium appeal required innovative thinking.

Brand Integrity Concerns

Any changes to the packaging needed to retain STIIIZY's high-quality brand image and not appear as a cost-cutting measure to customers.

The New Design

At JRNY, we pride ourselves on delivering packaging solutions that are innovative, cost-effective, and aligned with our clients’ brand values. For STIIIZY, we approached the project with these guiding principles:

Proposal & Solutions

Redesign the Box Lid

Remove and replace the upper rigid box lid with a paper sleeve.

Enhance User Experience

Add a buffer bump, providing a unique unboxing experience.

Refine packaging structure

Optimize the packaging structure to improve assembly efficiency.

Sustainability Considerations

Choose sustainable materials to reflect the brand's eco-friendly values.

Execution & Results

Removed the lid

The design maintained its premium appeal through innovation. By replacing the rigid box lid with a paper sleeve, we reduced the packaging cost per unit, achieving a 20% savings.

Added a Buffer Bump

Introduced a small bump inside the sleeve to prevent the inner box from sliding out, ensuring a secure fit and tactile unboxing experience.

Lowered labor costs

The optimized assembly process not only boosted labor efficiency but also drove reductions in overall costs.

Utilized Sustainable Material

Utilized FSC-certified paper, a recyclable material that strengthens the brand’s commitment to environmental responsibility.

Conclusion

The STIIIZY packaging redesign project exemplifies JRNY’s commitment to balancing cost efficiency with high-quality design and user experience. By creatively rethinking the packaging structure and materials, we not only met the client's cost reduction goals but also enhanced their brand's sustainability and customer appeal.
