If I were a little concentrate jar, I’d circle July 10 on my calendar with a sticky dab of rosin and whisper, “today’s my birthday.” 710 is the other cannabis holiday—less famous than 420, more focused, and honestly a bit nerdy—in the best way. It celebrates oils, wax, shatter, rosin, live resin, and all the clever devices that make concentrates smooth to enjoy.

The quick answer

710 means OIL upside down (flip your phone, you’ll grin). Fans meet every July 10 (7/10)—and many tap in at 7:10 a.m. or p.m.—to enjoy concentrates together. Where 420 grew around general cannabis culture, 710 zooms in on the craft of extraction, purity, flavor, and the ritual of clean vapor.

Environmentally friendly packaging boxes

Where did 710 come from?

The exact origin is fuzzy—kinda like a story told at a sesh. Around the early 2010s, “710” started appearing in forums and music circles as a playful nod to oil culture. The point isn’t who “owns” it; the point is community. Over time dispensaries began running 7/10 promos, brands launched limited drops, and 710 became the second big day on the calendar for many consumers. However it began, it now lives on shelves, menus, and group chats.

What counts as a “concentrate,” anyway?

Think of concentrates like espresso to coffee: a smaller, more intense format, made by removing plant matter and keeping desirable compounds. You’ll hear:

Live resin, rosin, sugar, sauce (terp-rich textures and flavors)
Wax, budder, crumble (different purges = different consistencies)
Carts & pods (convenient, portable, discreet)

Each format needs the right container and protection—temperature swings, oxygen, and light can flatten flavor and potency over time. It’s not just vibes; it’s chemistry.

How people celebrate 710

Some do small sessions with a favorite rig. Others love the convenience of portable vapes and pods, especially for on-the-go plans. Many dispensaries curate concentrate flights, drop limited live resins, or bundle cart multi-packs. There isn’t one “correct” ritual—make a simple tradition and repeat it every year (and maybe at 7:10 too). No gatekeeping, promise.

710 packaging essentials

Concentrate packaging got its own to-do list—safety, freshness, and brand story all at once. If I were picking my outfit for July 10:

Choose a concentrate-ready structure that cradles the jar and blocks crush, like the forms in concentrate packaging boxes. Snug cavities stop the “maraca” rattle and protect terp profiles during travel.
Go child-resistant without punishing adults; two-step openings and clear cues make safety feel natural. Explore mechanisms designed for cannabis in child-resistant packaging.
Level up carts and pods with fiber-first tubes and trays that print clean and feel premium in hand—see child-resistant vape cartridge paper tubes and CR vape cartridge boxes.
Hero your 7/10 collection with display-worthy sets (magnets, dividers, soft-touch) like magnetic clamshell cannabis gift boxes.
Keep pre-roll friends invited—many 710 shoppers also grab a cone for later. Coordinate looks with pre-roll boxes so the line feels like a family.
Ship safe and brand loud for DTC or delivery drops using printed corrugated boxes that fit right—no shipping air, no crushed corners.
For slim carry (singles and travel), browse paper tube packaging—pocketable, sturdy, and great for small labels or QR experiences.

Safety vs senior-friendly: design both, always

Good 710 packs are hard for kids and kind to grandparents. That means an opening motion that’s clever (press-and-slide) rather than brute-force. Big enough type, a tactile nub or arrow, and short verbs (“Press here. Slide.”). Safety is the headline; ease is the subhead.

Sustainability that isn’t just a sticker

Right-size the structure, avoid over-laminating, and choose recyclable boards where possible. When you switch to slim tubes or drawer boxes that actually fit your jar or pod, you cut material waste and shipping bulk. Customers feel the enviromental effort, not just read it.

A tiny 7/10 prep list

Store concentrates away from heat and strong light.
Keep jars upright and seals intact; oxygen is sneaky.
If you’re sharing, label textures and strains; discovery is half the joy.
Plan a calm, safe setting—hydration, snacks, and good company.

710 began as a wink and grew into a full-on holiday. However you celebrate—solo puff, friends’ session, or a careful tasting—honor the craft and keep it safe. I’ll be the box cheering from your coffee table, looking sharp, guarding freshness, and trying to remember the playlist.
