Narnia Cannabis Crew is a company located in the unspoilt nature of Umbria, where it produces and directly markets the best light weed infusions, CBD products and hemp derivatives for the Italian and European market since 2017. Loving and respectful of nature, Narnia Cannabis Crew's production is both outdoor, developing among centuries-old olive trees, and in a Green House, always favouring natural remedies such as nettle or horsetail macerates or organic products.

The farm was born in 2017 from the idea of three friends. After our university studies, looking for new inspiration outside the city, we decided to rent a farmhouse and a piece of land and from there our adventure began! Our desire to make it and our passion for this plant led us to found the Narnia Cannabis Crew, which before being a brand created by the Antichi Grani agricultural company to develop high quality hemp inflorescences, is a group of people who, over time, through passion, friendship and their own will, have contributed to the birth and growth of our business.
The core activity of the company is floriculture. In our greenhouse, we grow mainly female hemp inflorescences. We have 8 different varieties of finely selected hemp that give us compact and fragrant flowers. From these same flowers we obtain, through contract processing, concentrates and extracts of the active ingredient they are rich in, CBD, a natural phytocannabinoid that has many applications, from essential oils to food.

The link with the territory is so strong that it is reflected in the company's name: Narnia, in fact, refers to the municipality of Narni, in the province of Terni, a place full of charm and history that even inspired the writer C.S. Lewis to write the famous novel Chronicles of Narnia, referring to the ancient name of the settlement.
In April 2017, we moved to Umbria, to Narni to be precise, where our operational headquarters are located. We immediately liked the idea of forging a strong link between the brand name and its territory. In addition to the reference to the well-known science fiction novel and film, the name we chose originated from the fact that in the very hills where we grow our flowers today, at the end of the 14th century the Gattamelata family, an important Umbrian family that referred to Erasmo Stefano da Narni, an Italian condottiere and captain of fortune, cultivated hemp to make fabrics and garments. We interpreted this as a true sign of destiny!

Storing cannabis inflorescences is not as simple as storing any product in a cupboard. Multiple factors must be considered to ensure that the inflorescences are preserved intact and for as long as possible, without the risk of compromising fragrance, organoleptic properties and above all to avoid the proliferation of mould.
Packstyle is well aware of the critical aspects of this product and knows how to avoid damage, to ensure a long life for hemp in all its forms.
It was not easy to find the right packaging for the many needs of the product.
Being a dried flower, it is important that the packaging manages to keep the flower intact in its shape, colours, limiting the entry of light as a source of oxidation, and aromas. To these technical requirements of the product must be added practical ones; having developed an e-commerce site at www.narniacannabiscrew.com we needed a packaging that would allow us to circulate our product in peace, without leaving easily misleading odours.
In Packstyle's doypack bags we found the answer to these needs thanks to the wide choice of materials available, the airtightness guaranteed by the zip fastener and the support from the Packstyle team.
From a graphic point of view, Packstyle also offers manufacturers and distributors of hemp products numerous advantages: first and foremost, customisation of packaging even from limited runs.
To package our hemp flowers we have chosen doypack pouches with a matt black finish, creating a line of high quality inflorescences consisting of the varieties: Gelato, Cookies, Wedding Cake, Cheese, Lemon Tonic. Each colour corresponds to a variety, a taste, an aroma that are preserved intact until opened.

The multi-graphic service offered by Packstyle allowed us to simplify the graphic processes and be immediately recognisable, keeping matt black as the dominant colour.
Finally, the infinite customisation possibilities offered by Packstyle, the possibility of printing directly on the packaging, without having to apply any stickers, has given the company an image of greater reliability and seriousness, facilitating its business.
Sustainability plays a very important role in the business choices made by Narnia Cannabis Crew. Cultivating in open fields with organic methods, using natural remedies and organic products for cultivation, selling directly from the farm located in Umbria, are some of the aspects that the company has adopted both to offer a product with high standards, but also to contribute to the reduction of its ecological footprint. Like Packstyle, Narnia Cannabis Crew is in constant turmoil when it comes to the issue of sustainability.
In the immediate future there is definitely a desire to align our way of farming and lifestyle with our packaging by moving towards more sustainable choices without compromising on technical and aesthetic performance.
Packstyle's pouches are also available in recyclable versions: recyclable paper pouches and recyclable pp film pouches. However, research in this field is constantly evolving and Packstyle has green surprises in store, so stay tuned!
For those who will be in Rome from 17 to 19 February, Narnia Cannabis Crew will be at the eighth edition of Canapa Mundi, the International Hemp Fair at stand G5 with its products and legal inflorescences preserved as if freshly harvested in Packstyle pouches!
