Prescription bags, or pharmacy Rx bags, are perhaps one of the oldest forms of exit packaging - for decades, people have received their various medications inside of small, white, rectangular bags. Pharmacy bags, as they’re also called, conceal customers’ purchases (medications), allowing them to keep their afflictions, and methods of caring for them, private. As medical hemp came on the market, it only made sense to continue this practice.

Rx flower bags are often the exact same generic bags that many pharmacies used to use for years. Nowadays, many drug store chains customize their pharmacy bags with their logos and promotional information, which medical and recreational hemp stores often do, as well. However, there remains a crowd of medical hemp and drug stores that stick to very traditional, simple Rx prescription bags as exit packaging.

Classic prescription bags often feature a famous gold and blue mortar and pestle, the letters “Rx,” which is an ancient Latin abbreviation for “recipe” (which means “to take”) and some sort of friendly message like “thank you for your business!” It’s welcoming, discreet, generic, and has clearly stood the test of time quite well. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it, right?

Right, which is why we still carry the classic prescription bag. We also carry a classic “thank you bag” in the same style but without the mortar and pestle or “Rx.” However, some states’ compliance packaging regulations interfere with our customers using these as exit bags. Enter Mylar medical bags, which can be resealable, child resistant, tamper evident, opaque, or vista Mylar bags.

Although the laws in your state dictate aspects of your brand’s aesthetic, you don’t have to compromise style, efficiency, or quality when you shop for exit packaging with us. Thanks to our extensive collection, we can work together to identify and customize the perfect recreational or medical hemp store bags for your company. Regardless of what your license says, we all know that all herbs are a medicine in some way for someone, and providing them with legally compliant, discreet exit bags is the least we can do.

What Are Pharmacy Bags?

Pharmacy bags are small white paper bags used by traditional drug store pharmacies and medical hemp stores as a way to conceal what a customer/patient has purchased. This isn’t because the medications are illegal - it indicates that the contents came from an approved business. Prescription Rx paper bags simply offer a layer of privacy for the customers/patients.

Just like chemical medications, medical hemp is often prescribed to patients dealing with mental and physical ailments. These can be things such as depression, arthritis, cancer, anxiety, insomnia, and many others. As humans, we tend to safeguard our medical information, oftentimes, especially in the cases of mental health, out of embarrassment. Other times, people just like keeping their business their business!

While you should never feel ashamed to be struggling with mental or physical health, everyone deserves to fight their battles in their own way. Medication pouch packaging, AKA Rx bags, allows patients to keep their prescriptions hidden away from prying eyes and wandering minds so they can carry their medication home without fear of judgment. The same principle applies to herbs as it does to chemical meds.

Although medical hemp has been legalized since before the turn of the century in some states, many patients still prefer discretion around this method of medicating. There has been a huge stigma surrounding herbs for decades and many consumers, even those with a prescription, want to utilize it in private. On top of that, states have been mandating that MMJ and recreational hemp stores use (often opaque) exit packaging for some time now, and the rules have only gotten more strict with time.

Medical pharmacy bags now exist in numerous forms with various safety and privacy functions, like medical Mylar bags! However, there are some places where you can still use classic open top paper prescription bags. Colorado, for instance, requires all hemp products to be in fully opaque, child resistant, often resealable packaging. But paper medical packaging bags are still allowed as exit bags. They also require special warning labels, which is why we make Colorado-specific paper recreational and medical store bags.

What Types of Rx Hemp Bags Are Available?

We make four different types of classic paper Rx medical bags:

• Classic Pharmacy Bags - Blue/Gold Mortar Pestle, “Rx,” and “Thank You” on a white background - Small, Medium, X Large (standup)
• Thank You Bag - “Thank You for Your Business” and “Please Use Responsibly” in green on a white background with watermarks of hemp products - Small (non-standup), X Large (standup)
• Colorado Compliant Rx Bags - Colorado “C” between mountains and city skyline on one side and Colorado hemp warning label on the other - Large (standup)
• Custom Pharmacy Bags - 100% custom pharmacy bags for your business

The above Rx prescription bags are exactly like the paper bags you used to use as lunchboxes or just like the thin paper prescription bags you get at any pharmacy. The “Thank You Bag” has a smattering of very light watermarks that portray tincture dropper bottles, rolled papers, capsules, bubblers, and more hemp-related products - it’s a subtle detail that sets these particular Rx hemp bags apart from traditional pharmacy bags.

If classic, old-school paper medical packaging bags aren’t your brands vibe (or your state doesn’t allow them), don’t worry. We make a dizzying amount of other recreational and medical hemp packaging bags and exit bags that are suited for all types of vibes, including Rx smell proof bags made from Mylar!

Rx Mylar bags are the same idea as paper Rx hemp bags except they’re made from airtight, smell proof Mylar. They’re also often equipped with tamper evident, child resistant, resealable, and light blocking features. Mylar medical bags come in a range of colors and finishes and can be customized to your heart’s desire.

We can make matte white medical packaging bags that feature your brand name spelled out over a mortar and pestle. We can create sleek looking glossy black Mylar medical retail hemp store bags that feature a brightly colored “Rx.” Or maybe you’re thinking of adding the medical snake and staff, which we can also make happen. Whatever you’re looking for, we can bring your prescription bag, exit bag, or product bag dreams to life.

Does My Business Need Prescription Bags?

Whether or not your business needs prescription paper bags depends on a few factors, including whether you’re a medical hemp store or not. Medical stores have been around for over 20 years now and have, like everything else, gone through phases that either disappear entirely or end up coming back around. Medical pharmacy prescription bags, though, have generally stood the test of time.

If you’re running a mom and pop MMJ store, good old prescription medication bags can be a great exit bag option. They’re uncomplicated, straightforward Rx hemp bags - no frills, no problem. Plus, paper pharmacy/thank you bags are generic and generally recognized as coming from a drug store pharmacy - AKA they’re unsuspecting. People will just think your customers grabbed a prescription from the pharmacy.

While some people are looking for that ultimate discretion, many modern recreational and medical hemp store owners are highly focused on getting their name out there. Durable, reusable, branded hemp packaging is one of the best ways to get your name seen, recognized, talked about, and purchased. Unique logos, slogans, and brand names draw people in - even from only catching a glimpse as someone strolls by them carrying a branded prescription medical bag.

Does My Business Need A Thank You Bag?

We can probably all agree that we’re nothing if not grateful for our customers and their patronage. The hemp industry is competitive, fluid, expansive, and complicated - but for many of us, the smile on a patient or customer’s face when they find their favorite strain makes it all worth it. A verbal “thank you” is almost always given to customers, but there’s something to be said about a printed thank you paper bag.

Does your business need thank you paper bags? No. But if you plan on using simple paper exit bags (and you can use simple paper exit bags) they do add a friendly touch to your packaging. Our small thank you bags are great for pre roll tubes, dab syringes, small flower jars, and more. Our large thank you bags are suited for almost all herb products, from a half ounce flower jar to a whole bunch of yummy consumables.

Of course, if you can’t use open topped paper exit bags in your state (or you don’t want to use them), we would be more than happy to create a thank you bag out of one of our Mylar bags for you. With our vast range of Mylar bag sizes, shapes, and customizing options, it’s easy to throw the words “thank you for your business” somewhere in there. Whether you want it to be the focal point or a small bit of text on the backside, your customers will appreciate you saying “thank you!”

Pharmacy Bags - The Bottom Line

Pharmacy bags are commonplace for a reason - they’ve unwaveringly served their purpose for decades. Prescription bags are an affordable, simple solution to people wanting to keep their illnesses and ailments to themselves, as well as their treatment methods. With medical hemp (or recreational herbs), the issue isn’t even so much that the product indicates an ailment like with regular meds (antibiotics = you’ve got some sort of infection).

With herbs, the issue is often more to do with societal judgment, which we in the industry know all too much about. While herbs are part of most of our personal and professional lives, not everyone is able to (or even wants to) be as open about it as we often can. Rx hemp bags keep your customers or patients from feeling that community judgment and lets them peacefully soothe the ailments that are taking a toll.

No, prescription bags are not specifically required for medical products.

Medical and recreational regulated products bags are often quite similar in style but may require different labeling/verbiage depending on the state. medical products generally has to be labeled as such, whereas recreational regulated products will just say what type of product is inside. Both types of regulated products most often require labeling about active compound levels, harvest dates, and other important information for customers.
