For adults storing legally possessed cannabis, our first option to compare is the STASHLOGIX Silverton Medium: it combines a built-in combination lock with adjustable compartments. Consider the Herb Guard Wood Box for a structured wooden organizer, or the Pelican 1200 with foam for a rigid case you can fit with your own padlock. These are storage-accessory recommendations, with different layouts and closure systems.
Choose an outer box that holds your products in their original labeled packaging. A lock or an odor-control claim does not establish tested child resistance, complete odor containment or resistance to forced entry. None of the three is presented here as childproof, and decorative storage should not displace appropriate child-resistant packaging.
Compare the three storage options
| Storage choice | Closure and material | Why compare it | Main limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| STASHLOGIX Silverton, Medium Black | Zippered hard-shell case with linen exterior; built-in three-digit combination lock | Four adjustable dividers and a zippered mesh pocket | Published dimensions do not establish usable space around your actual packages |
| Herb Guard Wood Box | Bamboo construction; hinged box with integrated lock | Sections, removable trays and included glass storage jars | Check the supplied lock instructions; an outer box is not automatically airtight |
| Pelican 1200, Black with Foam, 1200-000-110 | Rigid plastic shell; latches, O-ring seal and padlock holes | Foam can organize and cushion separate packaged items | Padlock is a separate purchase; foam uses interior space |
1. STASHLOGIX Silverton Medium: for adjustable organization
The Silverton in Medium Black is the most straightforward starting point if you want an organizer with its lock already built in. Its three-digit combination lock avoids having a separate key to keep track of, while four removable, adjustable dividers let you arrange separate packages. The zippered mesh pocket is useful for small accessories.
The maker lists the Medium at 8 × 6 × 4.25 inches. Treat that as a sizing reference, not a promise that a particular jar will fit: the shell, lining and dividers take room. Measure your tallest package, allow the lid to close without pressure, and choose a larger size if the fit is marginal. This selection is one Medium Black case, not a jar bundle.
STASHLOGIX describes activated-carbon-fabric dividers, a liner, rubber gaskets and a water- and odor-resistant zipper. Those are useful features to compare, but we have not measured odor leakage. Choose it primarily for its organization and integrated lock, and regard the carbon dividers as a replaceable component rather than a permanent odor guarantee.
2. Herb Guard Wood Box: for a compartmented home organizer
The Herb Guard Wood Box is worth comparing if you prefer bamboo construction and a more structured layout. The maker lists interior sections, removable trays, an integrated lock and glass jars with bamboo lids. The advantage is having compartments and accessories together; the tradeoff is that their shapes determine what else you can fit inside.
Check the box and the included lock instructions before relying on it. The manufacturer describes a lock-and-key system. This recommendation does not assume the detailed lock mechanism or how resistant it is to tampering. If a particular lock mechanism matters to you, verify it with the maker before ordering.
The included jars are optional organization accessories. Keep cannabis products in their original packaging with the warnings intact instead of transferring them merely to use the jars. Also distinguish a lid described as airtight from the whole outer box: that description does not prove the box itself forms an airtight or odor-impermeable enclosure.
3. Pelican 1200 with foam: for a rigid, configurable case
The Pelican 1200 is a general-purpose equipment case that can serve as an outer organizer. The selection here is model 1200-000-110, Black with Foam, one case. Its rigid shell, latching closure and foam interior offer a different layout from the Silverton’s dividers or Herb Guard’s trays. Choose it when you want separate cushioned spaces for your existing packages.
The case has padlock holes rather than a built-in combination lock. Budget for a compatible padlock and verify shackle fit before buying. A latched case without that lock does not meet the locked-storage approach described below. Its O-ring seal is not evidence of tested odor containment or child resistance.
Check dimensions for the exact version you order and lay out your packages before changing the foam. The foam occupies space, and a fitted layout is less flexible when container sizes change. Keep labeled packaging between the contents and the case; this recommendation makes no food-contact or direct-storage claim for the foam.

How to choose a box you will actually keep locked
- Choose the closure first. Silverton has an integrated combination lock; Herb Guard has an integrated lock whose supplied instructions need checking; Pelican needs a separate padlock. Pick the arrangement you can use consistently, and keep keys or combinations inaccessible to children.
- Measure the packages, not just the shelf. Account for jar height, packaging width, dividers, foam and the lid’s clearance. A box that only closes when overfilled is the wrong size.
- Separate odor control from access control. Carbon liners, tight lids and locks do different jobs. An odor-focused feature does not establish child resistance, and a lock does not guarantee smell containment. Compare the documented construction instead of treating “smell proof” as a test result.
- Keep labels and warnings. Choose enough space for original packaging rather than planning to move products into unmarked jars. Store cannabis products separately from ordinary food and drinks.
Where and how to store it
The New York Office of Cannabis Management’s storage guidance recommends a locked container or locked cabinet, kept out of sight and reach, and retaining original packaging. The CDC also emphasizes locked storage away from children. An outer case is one part of that routine: close it, engage the lock, and put it away after access. Do not leave the keys in its lock.
A lockable cabinet may be a better fit than any of these small boxes if your packages need more room. Keep cannabis products separate from regular food, and follow the storage directions on each product’s label. A decorative box left open on a table is not a substitute for a consistent storage routine.
Frequently asked questions
Which stash box should I compare first?
Compare Silverton Medium for adjustable compartments and an integrated combination lock. Choose the Herb Guard layout if trays and bamboo construction suit your storage space. Choose Pelican 1200 with foam if you want a rigid equipment case and are willing to add a compatible padlock.
Does a combination lock make a box childproof?
No. The presence of a lock does not establish that a particular box has passed child-resistance testing. Keep original child-resistant packaging, use locked storage out of sight and reach, and keep keys and combinations inaccessible. None of these recommendations carries a childproof guarantee.
Can I assume a stash box is completely smell-proof?
No. We have not verified complete odor containment for these products. A carbon liner, gasket or tight lid is a construction feature, and the word “smell-proof” alone does not tell you how a finished box performed in a defined test.
Should I replace the original packaging with the included jars?
Keep the original packaging and its warnings. Choose the outer box to fit those packages; included jars do not make transferring their contents necessary.
