Terrapin Care Station moves to all American-made packaging
BOULDER — Terrapin Care Station, a trade name used by a Boulder-based chain of cannabis dispensaries with proprietary product lines, announced this week it is working with its suppliers to ensure all packaging is sourced entirely from the United States.
“During what is a difficult time for the manufacturing sector due to COVID-19, Terrapin wanted to focus on localized sourcing,” according to a company news release.
When the virus pandemic first broke out this spring, dispensaries were not particularly concerned about supply-chain disruptions for actual cannabis products, as the law requires those products be sourced in-state. But there were worries about potential shortages in packaging materials, often sourced from Asia.
