Cannabis Labeling Software
Labels built from the package
Cannabis labeling software that pulls batch, weight and potency from your live inventory and Metrc. The label matches the package it's stuck to. DistruLabels is free for Metrc users.
Print case and unit labels in one run
Templates fill from the package, and potency comes from the COA. Case and unit labels print together. Printing a label sends nothing to the state.
Templates that pull live fields
Add license number, batch ID, net weight, potency and harvest date. The template fills them from the package, so there's no design file per SKU.
Case and unit labels together
Print case and unit labels for one product in a single run. Or bulk print off a sales order.
Potency straight from the COA
Test results attach to the batch, and the label reads potency from there. After a retest, the next label prints the current number.
What has to appear on a cannabis label?
A compliant cannabis label shows the license number, batch ID, net weight, potency and state warnings. Some states also require the universal symbol, and rules vary by state and product type. Most label tools treat a label as a design file. Here each label prints from the package record, so it stays current.
Where label errors actually come from
Label errors rarely come from not knowing the rules. They come from the gap between the package and the paper. Someone types potency off an old COA. A printer drifts out of alignment and nobody catches it until a case comes back. Case and unit labels live in two files, so someone updates just one.

Questions about cannabis labels
Let’s answer the most commonly asked questions about Cannabis Software.
Is DistruLabels really free?
Yes, for Metrc users. It pulls live Metrc data to print package tag and retail ID labels at no cost. It's a real product, not a trial.
Does it work with my label printer?
Zebra printers are the common setup, and most of our templates are built around them. Setup usually takes one call with your CSM.
What happens when my state changes its rules?
You update the template once, and every future label uses it. The data comes from the package. A rule change is a template edit, not a redo of every SKU.
Can I put my own branding on the label?
Yes, within what your state allows on a compliant label. The compliance fields pull automatically, and the rest of the layout is yours.
Do I need the full ERP to use labels?
No. DistruLabels stands alone for Metrc users. Labels get better when they read your own inventory too. That's why most teams connect the two.
How do I create compliant cannabis labels?
Build your state's required fields into one template. Each label then fills from the package record. Your compliance lead confirms the template against current state rules.
