Hey - so I can give you a quick overview of the pros and cons of some of the pre-roll packaging options that I personally know about:
I’ll start with the cheapest options for pre-roll multipacks. The cheapest options for pre-roll packaging are mostly going to be made out of plastic.
As mentioned by another commenter there is the wide and the extra wide pre-roll tubes. You can fit either 3 or 5 98 or 109mm pre-rolls in there. You could put 84mm cones in there as well but it will have a lot of space on the top since the tube is 114mm tall. The tube will keep the product fresh, its relatively easy to label (we can also do the label application for you) and it is cheap. It comes in white or black - so it will protect the product from light and the plastic is sturdy so will protect any product inside.
Then you have something like the slider box - this is a 5-7 pack pre-roll option. It is child resistant and has a little mechanism on the side in order to open the box. It is also relatively cheap when you consider the cost per pre-roll that fits inside. You can either label it or you can get a paper sleeve for it . There is also the option of getting pre-roll inserts to secure your pre-rolls and make them a little neater. It will keep the product somewhat fresh, and protect from light and damage. This could be sealed with either a heat shrink (plastic bag that you heat seal and then shrink with heat) or an overwrap (like the plastic wrap on cigarette boxes).

Alternatively there is the snap pack which is a cigarette style box made from plastic. It fits up to 10 84mm cones. It only comes in the 84mm height for now. Keeps the product safe, has a secure close and will keep product safe from light.
For paper based options you could go down a few different paths:
There is the push pack / pull pack - these are boxes with a hard outer shell and tray inside the shell. You can have it with or without the child resistant feature. The nice thing about this box is you can have dividers inside the box with full custom printing. And you can heat shrink or overwrap for an extra layer of freshness if you like.
Then there is also the cigarette boxes. These are made from a cardstock paper - so less rigid than the push pack or pull pack. But at the same time will be much cheaper. They cigarette boxes aren’t air-tight at all so if you care about keeping the pre-rolls very fresh you will want to heat shrink or overwrap.
Although the paper options can be more expensive when you consider that the paper packaging options come with full custom printing - meaning you don’t have to any or very little labeling. Just put the product in, seal it and sell it. Compared to the stock packaging - like the plastic tubes where you still have the additional cost of the label as well as having to label the tubes.
You could also do something like a glass jar multi-pack if you did want to do something a little nicer but that wouldn’t be a cheaper option for sure.
