cannabis & Cbd LABELS
CANNABIS AND CBD ARE FAST-GROWING INDUSTRIES THAT ARE PREDICTED TO CONTINUE THEIR EXPANISION IN THE COMING YEARS.
With capabilities to print labels, shrink sleeves, tags and more, the Dion team is an all-in-one packaging printer for your medical or recreational cannabis and CBD needs.
Dion can print packaging for edibles, concentrates, vaporizers, drops, beverages, supplements, beauty, skincare, pet treats and more. A variety of substrates are available to achieve the ideal look for your product, including but not limited to a modern, luxurious, or rustic feel.
MATERIAL SELECTION
For cannabis and CBD companies, thoughtful and attractive design is an integral part of brand success, and to accomplish your design goals, you must start with the correct base material. But how do you know which material will work for you? Dion Label Printing uses only the best stock material available, and our experts will guide you to the appropriate material for your product and application.
FILM (AKA BOPP) – RUGGED, VERSATILE, DESIGN OPTIONS
Films are the most versatile label material option and certainly the most popular among CBD and cannabis brands. BOPP has a unique set of characteristics that make it optimal for a huge variety of applications. It is a sturdy, fatigue and moisture resistant material, so for many products that will be handled frequently or exposed to moisture or temperature changes, BOPP provides the ruggedness you need. We offer BOPP in white, metallic, and clear options, so it's easy to achieve your design goals, whatever they may be!
TEXTURED MATERIAL – UPSCALE, ENGAGING
When you want a high-end look for your product, one of the best ways to achieve it is to opt for a textured base material for your label. The textured look and feel of linen and estate papers add an element of sophistication that is growing in popularity in the cannabis and CBD industries. We offer many linen/estate options for labels here at Dion, as well as black vellum and wood veneer materials. Keep in mind, however, that our textured material options may not be best-suited to your product if it is used in an excessively humid, hot, or wet environment; talk to a label solutions specialist directly, and they'll be able to guide you to the perfect material to balance your application requirements versus your design goals.
SUSTAINABLE OPTIONS – ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY, CERTIFIED SUSTAINABLE, POST-CONSUMER WASTE
At Dion, we have worked over the last several years to provide more sustainable options for the brands we partner with. Many of our materials are certified sustainable. And it’s not just our basic paper materials that have met this certification: some of our textured linen and estate options are certified sustainable!
We also offer labels made from different amounts of post-consumer waste, including 100% post-consumer waste material. If part of the mission of your cannabis or CBD brand is to promote sustainable choices, talk to us about our eco-friendly material options. While some sustainable label material options do have an increased cost associated with them, having less of a negative impact on the environment and having more of a positive impact on potential customers may make these labels worth it for your brand.
EXTENDED CONTENT LABELS
Extended Content Labels, also known as ECLs and Expanded Content Labels, are extremely effective tools for cannabis and CBD brands. While traditional labels are printed on one side of a piece of material, ECLs will give you more space for a wide variety of information and can free space up on the front of your label for branding and essential product information.
With so much regulatory information to include, extended content labels are an excellent solution for cannabis and CBD companies.
Dion Label Printing offers a variety of extended content labels, which we break down here.
TYPES OF EXTENDED CONTENT LABELS
WRAPAROUND LABELS
Wraparound labels offer 720 degrees of print space for your label. They provide more real estate for print without the extra panels associated with booklet labels. As their name suggests, these labels wrap around a vessel twice; once a customer has peeled the label back, we use our read and re-apply construction so they can be neatly closed again.
Wraparound labels are sometimes referred to as vial labels because they are an ideal option for products in smaller containers. Some of the common vessel sizes we print wraparound labels for are 4mL, 10mL, and 15mL. We can print these labels on white or silver material.
PEEL BACK LABELS
Peel back labels, also called two-sided or double-sided labels, are an extended content label type used for additional printed information on the back side of a label.
Peel back labels have information printed on both sides with a read and re-apply label construction. The label can be peeled back from the container to reveal additional information and then re-applied as if it was never disturbed. Peel back labels are an easy open and re-sealable option that provide a complete solution to additional space requirements without excess packaging.
BOOKLET LABELS
Booklet labels, also known as hinged labels or commonly referred to simply as ECLs, are labels that use a hinged design with one or more extra panels to increase the amount of printable space available for information, while the amount of surface space the label takes up on the container remains the same.
Generally speaking, booklet labels provide more extra printable space than peel back labels, which use only the back side of the label for additional information.
Booklet labels use a read and re-apply label construction that allows the interior panel or panels of the label to be viewed, then resealed. These labels are ideal for extended drug facts, additional languages, directions, and much more.
LABELING REGULATIONS & SECURITY FEATURES
When people are going to be consuming your product or using it topically, it is essential that you follow federal guidelines to make sure your label includes all the appropriate information formatted properly. For cannabis and CBD brands, making sure you are following federal, state, and local regulations for labeling requirements is essential, and we have the experience and skill to help make sure your label meets necessary standards.
We are compliant to FDA Title 21 CFR Part 11 and the EU’s EMEA Annex 11.
Our Prepress Department includes a team of detail-oriented individuals who have years of experience working with cannabis and CBD companies and know how to recognize when something doesn't look right. They review all label art and will make suggestions to you if something doesn't look like it will meet regulatory standards.
We also offer these options to help ensure your label is safe and secure:
- Tamper evident security labels
- Consecutive numbering & inventory control options
- Validated inspection & certified label counts
- Peel back, booklet, & other extended content labels to increase real estate for required information
HIGH DECORATION OPTIONS
As competition for consumer spending has increased for just about every type of consumer good, cannabis and CBD brands require new and interesting ways to differentiate their offerings.
Labels and packaging are one of the most high-impact ways for companies to attract attention and nudge buyers to their product over a plethora of others on the shelf.
