Safer Packaging is a partnership between Atlantic Packaging and Locked4Kids.
Atlantic was founded by Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist, W. Horace Carter, in Tabor City, NC, in 1946. The company has remained in the Carter family all these years and, under visionary leadership, has grown to become the most technically advanced packaging resource today (learn more about Atlantic’s history).
In Locked4Kids, Atlantic found a unique confluence of innovation and practicality that was a perfect fit for a partnership. With Locked4Kids’ award-winning design in child safety and Atlantic’s capabilities for manufacturing and printing & graphics, we came together to offer the cannabis market a product that is both necessary and elevated beyond anything else available for child-safe cartons.
Atlantic now holds the exclusive license for manufacturing and selling Locked4Kids cartons in the cannabis space.
