Any company suffers if they do not have strong inventory management procedures, but for cannabis retailers operating in a new and often uncertain regulatory landscape, it’s hard to understate the importance of effective inventory control. While retailers are working to find the appropriate solutions to solve their inventory headaches, producers of cannabis products need to be on top of their inventory as well. At Dion, our label printing team can help alleviate some of the pain associated with inventory control by creating a label for your product that has inventory management measures built right in.

We have over 50 years of experience printing labels to make the lives of the brands we partner with easier, so we know how hard it can be to efficiently and economically manage your inventory. As cannabis brands enter their new and in many ways unchartered market, a great way to help with inventory control is through barcodes. UPC codes are the most universally recognized type of barcode, and not only will having the appropriate barcode help you with your own inventory monitoring, but it is unlikely that any retailer would consider shelving your product without one. You can determine how many unique barcodes you will need for your products and purchase them through GS1 US. If you want to know more about sizing and placement of your barcode, read our blog on the subject here.

Another way to help with your brand’s inventory management and to make it easier for potential retailers is through consecutive numbering. Dion can print numbers on your label based on your specifications of range, size, and placement. For smaller companies, consecutive numbering on labels can make keeping track of product much simpler, and might be just the solution your company needs to keep your inventory under control.

If you are looking for ways to manage your inventory, Dion can help. As the cannabis industry grows, you want your brand to grow with it. Contact us today so we can customize a solution that works for your brand in the expanding cannabis market!

Parent Company Inovar Continues Growing: New Headquarters in Dallas, TX

by Gina Lisella • 21 Nov, 2023
As part of Inovar Packaging Group, Dion Label Printing is working to creating a world-class enterprise by building an innovative platform to drive sustainable growth and handle the increasingly complex demands of our diverse range of customers. Over the last several years, our parent company Inovar has acquired new facilities at a quick pace, including, most recently: Cimarron Label in Sioux Falls, SD and Amherst Label in Milford, NH. Acquiring is a major part of Inovar’s strategy to grow the company and better serve our customers and our internal teams, and we are concurrently working to expand our capacity, capabilities, and service offerings in other ways. To that end Inovar has recently moved into a newly renovated headquarters building in Dallas, TX. Located just a short distance from Inovar’s previous facility headquarters, the new location was built to showcase the mission of our brand. At triple the size of the last facility, this brand new building with its huge increase in both office and production space will enable us to provide even more solutions and support to our customers. The new facility is not just larger, however. In order to increase our capacity, capabilities, and offerings, and give our customers the highest quality labels and packaging solutions, we’ve added two new flexographic presses and a new digital press. Our Director of Marketing, Ashley Stewart, states, “the additional capacity, services, and embellishment capabilities will greatly increase our ability to meet all the requirements of even the most demanding brands. The team is thrilled to debut the new facility and showcase our capabilities to our existing and future customers.”  We also have other expansions in the works. An addition of almost 20,000 additional square feet of production and warehousing space will expand Inovar’s Milwaukee, WI, location, Flexo-Graphics, and its presence in the area. We are excited for the opportunities our growth provides us to continue our rise as a premier label and packaging solution provider. Contact us today and let our growth help fuel yours.
