Packs (previously, Packwoods) is a Los Angeles-based cannabis brand known for its high-quality, hand-rolled blunts and creative cannabis items. The brand was launched in 2017 and specializes in high-potency experiences with top-shelf flower, concentrates, and infusions. Packs has since grown beyond its roots in pre-rolls to disposables, edibles, and accessories to both the recreational and enthusiast markets across the globe.

Overview

Packs, which formerly operated as Packwoods, is a major competitor in the cannabis sector with its roots in the rich cannabis culture of Los Angeles. The brand takes pride in its quality, purity, and innovation, as it marries powerful strains with painstaking craftsmanship to produce products that enhance the user’s experience. Established in 2017, Packs has developed into a niche player that offers luxury pre-rolled blunts, now adding to its extensive portfolio of products in the form of disposable vapes, infused joints and a range of hemp-derived products like Delta-8 and HHC products.

The philosophy of the company is based on its slogan, which is We Roll Different, or superior materials and processes that make the company unusual in the competitive marketplace. Packs products are packaged in an on-demand and potent format that attracts on-the-go consumers who desire high-THC quality options without losing taste or effects. The brand has a high brand presence in states such as California, Colorado, Michigan, and Nevada, and has recorded remarkable sales milestones in the past, with record sales of more than $1 million in July 2025 alone, given the fluctuating markets. The partnership with renowned strains and musicians helps boost its cultural relevance even more as Packs become a common place in dispensaries and online forums.

History

Packs, formerly known as Packwoods, has its origins in Los Angeles, California, where they established their company in 2017 and aimed to transform the experience of rolling the cannabis blunt to a higher level. The brand was named after its classic products: blunts, which are stuffed with high-quality cannabis flower and first rolled with a backwoods-type of tobacco leaf and later with tobacco-free wrap to maximize its appeal to more people. Packs initially found a market in the emerging commercial legal market of California, serving hand-rolled blunts of two grams of indoor-grown flower, dusted in kief, and injected with concentrates; it became the first pre-roll to have a high flower weight, characterized by luxury and potency.

The company within its formative years, has garnered more than 20 accolades for quality flower and pre-rolls, which has made it one of the most decorated cannabis brands in California. With Tony Capone as CEO, who came on board to bring about innovativeness, Packs expanded its product base that consists of blunts to include disposable vapes and edibles as the demand grew on the need to find a convenient way of consumption. VP of Sales Kevin Forde helped unlock market expansion to new regions across the country, partnering with brands like Nevada, Michigan, and Colorado.

The Brand experienced significant growing pains in its early years of existence. The early relations with licensed manufacturers became troublesome because Packs was growing faster than it was expected, so it became problematic when it came to operations. There was also the problem of high levels of counterfeiting, and Tony Capone remarked that they could almost always make a product that would be replicated within six months. Capone, however, took this challenge positively since he realized that knock-offs had the negative effect of popularizing the brand name and had created new market opportunities.

Packs had a major problem as far as trademarks were concerned when they came into conflict with Imperial Tobacco Group (ITG), which owns the Backwoods cigar brand. In 2019, ITG was able to argue against a trademark application by Capone Brands Inc. of the name “PACKWOODS,” claiming it was confusingly similar to their established mark of Backwoods. The trademark case was ongoing in 2022-2023, in which ITG initiated several oppositions and cease and desist letters over Packwoods’ name and trademarks, such as PACKWRAPS.

In 2023-2024, the rebranding Packs took place, making the name simple enough to reflect more closely the current trends in branding and perhaps being less associated with the regulatory problems of the past, without changing its main concept. This change was focused on shorter length and versatility as well because the brand turned out to be a comprehensive cannabis brand lifestyle company. The brand never lost its competitive edge, though, attempting to push the limits of innovation through limited-edition collaborations and sustainability to maintain its legacy in the continually developing cannabis industry.
