Why Dispensary Labels?

The right cannabis dispensary labels perform a few crucial tasks for your products. To start, dispensary labels are required to include key information to maintain compliance with cannabis packaging laws. The exact information can differ from state to state, but the following details must be included on the majority of dispensary labels:

  • Company name
  • Strain name
  • THC and CBD levels
  • Indica/sativa class
  • Net weight statement
  • Ingredients list and nutritional fact panel for edible labels
  • Production date, expiration date, and other relevant date statements
  • Various warnings

While this information is a necessary part of dispensary labels, your packaging has another critical job – to look good. These labels serve as a first introduction to draw in and excite the consumer, whether they’re visiting your dispensary or seeing your products online. Quality, eye-catching labels are a high priority when more people are shopping for the right medical and recreational cannabis products.

When it comes to regulatory and compliance label requirements for cannabis products, there are several key elements that must be included to ensure your product is legal and provides the necessary information to consumers. Here’s what needs to be on your cannabis labels (be sure to check your local and national regulations):

  • Product Identity: The label must clearly state what the product is (e.g., flower, pre-rolls, edibles, tinctures, etc.).
  • Strain Information: If applicable, include the strain name and whether it’s indica, sativa, or hybrid.
  • Cannabinoid Content: The label must list the THC and CBD content, either as a percentage or in milligrams per serving and total per package.
  • Net Weight or Volume: The total weight or volume of the product, typically in grams or milliliters, must be displayed.
  • Ingredients List: For products like edibles or topicals, the full ingredient list must be included.
  • Serving Size and Dosage Information: Especially for edibles, you’ll need to specify the serving size and dosage recommendations.
  • THC Warning: Include a THC warning about potential psychoactive effects and other health or safety advisories like “For adult use only” or “Keep out of reach of children.”
  • Batch or Lot Number: This helps trace the product back to its source in case of any recalls or safety issues.
  • Cultivation and Manufacturing Information: In some areas, the grower or manufacturer’s name and license number need to be on the label.
  • Expiration Date: Include an expiration or best-by date, especially for perishables like edibles.
  • Universal Cannabis Symbol: Many areas require a standardized symbol on the label to indicate the product contains cannabis and may cause intoxication.
  • License Number: The dispensary’s or manufacturer’s license number should be included to verify legal compliance.
