Cannabis Packager Staffing
Hemp Temps places pre-screened cannabis packagers, grammers, and label staff. Production line slowdowns and compliance-related packaging bottlenecks are one of the most common reasons dispensaries and manufacturers call us — we solve them fast.
Cannabis Packaging Staffing — What We Provide
Cannabis packaging is where compliance and production intersect. Every state has specific labeling requirements — required warnings, THC content, batch numbers, child-resistant packaging standards. A packaging error can trigger a recall or a regulator visit. Hemp Temps trains packagers on compliance fundamentals before placement so they understand what they're handling.
Our packagers are experienced with hand-filling, automated filling lines, weight verification (scale work), label application, and child-resistant packaging. They are background-checked and compliance-cleared for cannabis work in your state.

How Packager Staffing Works
Send us your production schedule — line type, headcount, and shift pattern — and Hemp Temps fills it from a bench of packagers already background-checked and trained on compliance fundamentals: state labeling requirements, child-resistant packaging standards, and weight verification. Most packaging placements are confirmed within 24 hours, and crews can scale up for product launches or drop back after a production push without layoffs on your books.
Hemp Temps is the employer of record for every placement: we run payroll, carry workers' comp, and handle employment taxes while you approve hours in the app. You pay the packager's rate plus a 43% all-in fee (30% admin, 10% placement, 3% processing) — screening and training included, no setup fees, and no buyout if you take a strong packager permanent.

Packager Staffing FAQ
How much does it cost to hire cannabis packagers?
Packagers placed by Hemp Temps typically earn $15–$19/hr. You pay that rate plus a 43% all-in fee covering payroll, employment taxes, workers’ comp, background checks, and compliance training. There are no setup fees or contract minimums, and scaling a crew up or down costs nothing extra.
Are Hemp Temps packagers trained on state labeling compliance?
Yes. Before placement, packagers complete Hemp Temps University compliance training covering required warning labels, THC content and batch-number labeling, and child-resistant packaging standards for their state. A packaging error can trigger a recall or a regulator visit, so compliance fundamentals are part of every packager’s screening.
What packaging roles can Hemp Temps fill?
Flower packaging and gramming, pre-roll production, edibles and infused-product packaging, concentrate packaging, tincture and topical filling, label application, weight verification, and QC inspection — on both hand-fill and automated lines, across Colorado, Michigan, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.
Can I scale packaging staff up and down with production cycles?
Yes — that is the core use case. Bring in extra packagers for a launch or harvest processing push and release them when the run ends, with no layoffs, unemployment claims, or severance on your books. Hemp Temps carries the employment relationship; you only approve hours worked.
Do I need experience to get packaging jobs with Hemp Temps?
Most packaging and gramming roles are entry-level: pass a one-time background check, complete free HTU training, and you can claim production shifts in the Hemp Temps app. Detail-oriented workers with scale-work or QC experience earn toward the top of the $15–$19/hr range.
