CBD Labels & Shrink Sleeves

Cannabis and cannabidiol (CBD) are making their way out of the fringes and into the mainstream. Medical professionals use the whole plant and basic extracts of the plants to treat a variety of chronic health conditions and illnesses. With benefits like relief from pain and nausea, people with debilitating medical conditions can finally experience natural relief from their symptoms thanks to the cannabis industry.

Since the benefits of cannabinoids and medical cannabis are finally being recognized, many states are beginning to legalize its use for therapeutic purposes and are approving the medical use of cannabis. As of 2019, 33 states and Washington D.C. allow the use of cannabinoids and marijuana plants as medicine. Several states have also legalized the use of recreational cannabis, with new dispensaries opening every day to service this new and emerging market. Since CBD laws by state are continually evolving, the need for custom pressure sensitive labels, shrink sleeves and flexible packaging is growing rapidly.

Flexible Packaging for the CBD Industry

The growing market presents both opportunities and challenges for those who operate marijuana dispensaries. Of particular concern is the safe packaging and transport of medical cannabis to patients with a valid card. The loose nature of medical cannabis can make it difficult to contain and wrap, and make it equally difficult for patients to carry and dispense.

Pouch packaging has enjoyed an uptick in popularity for several reasons. It is flexible, yet it also has a stable bottom. This makes it ideal for patient storage, but also for preparation and dispensary storage. Pouches also have visual appeal because they allow for large-scale, full color printing. Stock flexible packaging with custom labels provides an economical way to achieve the same effect as a fully-printed pouch, without the large quantities or high price tag.

Since dispensaries offer many types of products and formulations, the pouch/label combination provides the optimum balance of flexibility and visibility. In other words, you can create sleek, branded products that are helpful to consumers and your business operations without paying the exorbitant costs of other options by utilizing our stock pouching program.
