Are You Overpaying for Cannabis Packaging Automation?
Here’s What Most Brands Are Still Getting Wrong
In today’s cannabis market, automation should protect your margins—not destroy them. But too many processors are using cannabis packaging automation built for frozen peas and cereal, not premium flower. The result? Overfilled jars, crushed buds, and wasted product with every run.
At Green Vault Systems, we believe your packaging equipment should treat cannabis like the high-value product it is. That means hundredth-of-a-gram precision, cannabis-first engineering, and real-time data that helps you grow your bottom line.
Because in this industry, every gram—and every penny—counts.
❌ Precision That Pays
Multi-head weighers (not to mention any names…) are built for food — not for cannabis.
The devices run at an accuracy range between 0.1–0.3g which translates to significant losses of tens of thousands of dollars per SKU per month due to overpacking.
The precision levels of these machines operate below the hundredth of a gram level which results in profit margin destruction.
What they miss:
Their primary focus is on achieving speed. Uncontrolled speed operations result in profit loss.
❌ Cannabis-Specific Design
Multi-head weighers smash trichomes, crush flower, and treat cannabis like Cheerios.
These systems lack proper engineering features to protect fragile buds filled. It’s made for bulk throughput.
Operators must perform manual weight checks or double-verify weights through manual feeding which destroys the expected automation cost savings.
What they miss:
A machine designed for crackers cannot be converted to handle gold with success. Cannabis requires delicate handling due to its expensive nature.
❌ Ownership Experience & Support
Other original equipment manufacturers (OEM) walk away once the PO is signed.
Spare parts from these machines are pricey, updates occur sporadically and can be difficult to roll out, and the support system operates through delayed ticket processing.
No performance data, no diagnostics, no insight into why batches are off.
What they miss:
The automation process requires more than simple machinery functions. A good partnership should provide performance monitoring together with complete product lifecycle assistance. (like we do!)
How Green Vault Systems Leads the Future of Cannabis Packaging:
Hyper Precision to the Hundredth
Our entire manufacturing line exclusively serves cannabis packaging.
Your batcher measures to 0.01g, not 0.1g.
The difference between losing money and losing significant amounts of money becomes apparent through this distinction. You only pay for what you put in the jar.
GVS converts a $100 bill into 100 individual dollars (0.01g accuracy) whereas others divide it into 10-dollar portions (0.1g accuracy).
So, if you lose ONE UNIT with GVS, you still have 99%. With the others, if you lose one unit you are left with 90% (9 of 10).
You don’t have to be a cultivation scientist to know which makes more sense for your business.
Cannabis-First Engineering
Smart Feed, Infeed, gentle handling, and customized catch systems for bags, jars, or pre-rolls.
We serve cannabis cultivators exclusively. Our machines are designed for YOUR flower. Trichomes stay intact. Bud structure preserved.
The combination of better shelf appeal along with consumer loyalty and COA consistency results from this purpose built approach.
Real-Time Data. Real Partnership.
The product goes beyond being a machine. It’s a money-printing dashboard.
Our team builds batch-level reporting features together with runtime statistics and rejection insights and AI-driven feedback to enhance yield and margin performance in the long run.
Our support? Lifetime. Transparent. Human.
Your equipment should talk to you. Equipment that fails to show you the direction of your monetary resources should be considered outdated.
