Earth Friendly Focus Hippo has launched the Earth Friendly Collection, underscoring a strong sustainability mandate. This positions the company as a preferred packaging partner for cannabis brands seeking eco-friendly materials and reduced environmental impact. Leverage this in outreach to eco-conscious brands and at events like MJ Unpacked where sustainability is a buying criterion.

Integrated Branding With an in house branding, packaging and graphic design collective, Hippo offers an integrated turnkey solution to create, manage and grow a cannabis brand across packaging, digital assets and marketing collateral. This enables rapid onboarding and higher contract value through bundled branding and packaging services. Target early stage and mid market cannabis brands that want a cohesive go to market bundle.

Compliance Packaging Hippo has a history of child resistant packaging with the Duallok line and regulatory-focused capabilities. This makes them well suited for brands operating in states with child resistant packaging requirements and tight safety standards. Opportunities include contract manufacturing for compliant packaging, white label options, and partnerships with distributors serving regulated markets.

ABV Humidity Solutions A collaboration with Boveda to develop ABV cannabis packaging shows a market ready humidity control solution. This is appealing to brands looking to protect product quality and extend shelf life, especially for shipment across state lines. Consider co selling or bundling humidity control packs with packaging solutions and targeting ABV segment players.

Market Credibility Industry credibility and lean operations: Hippo’s 2019 PAC Global Leadership Award and revenue between one and ten million dollars indicate credible, boutique capabilities with nimble service. A small team of two to ten employees often translates to personalized attention and fast turnaround. This combination is attractive to premium cannabis brands seeking customized, high touch packaging programs.
