Introducing DistruLabels: A Game-Changer for the Cannabis Industry
In an effort to simplify the labeling process for cannabis operators, Distru has partnered with Metrc to launch
DistruLabels, a comprehensive and free web-based label generator. This innovative tool automatically integrates with Metrc, thereby allowing cannabis businesses operating in regulated states to swiftly and accurately create compliant labels in mere minutes.
Why DistruLabels?
As the cannabis industry grapples with increasingly stringent regulations, operators often encounter challenges with fragmented spreadsheets, outdated templates, and tedious manual tasks when it comes to labeling their products. DistruLabels serves as a solution to these pain points. Designed to centralize operations, this tool helps users to avoid the pitfalls often associated with compliance risk—specifically, errors that can arise from manual data entry.
By connecting directly to Metrc, the platform automatically retrieves essential data such as active finished goods, retail ID QR codes, product specifics, batch numbers, and testing information. As a result, cannabis operators can generate print-ready labels without the worry of inaccuracies that can lead to costly compliance issues.
Features of DistruLabels
DistruLabels not only helps reduce manual labor but also offers a variety of features to streamline the labeling process:
- - Customizable Layouts: Operators can personalize label designs, incorporating logos and warning statements to match their brand identity.
- - Real-Time Data Access: Automatic insights from Metrc enhance the labels with up-to-date product information and QR codes, removing the need for repetitive data entry.
- - Compatibility: The generator produces outputs compatible with commonly used thermal and desktop printers, making it suitable for both small-batch tasks and larger production runs.
- - Flexibility for All Operators: Regardless of business size—whether for cultivators, manufacturers, or distributors—DistruLabels accommodates varying workflows and labeling needs.
