Question 1

Is Distru Labels really free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Distru Labels is completely free. You can create an account, sync your METRC facilities, design label templates, generate Retail IDs, and print compliant labels — all at no cost.

Question 2

Do I need a METRC API key to use Distru Labels?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Because Distru Labels pulls real-time data from METRC, you’ll need a valid METRC API key to sync your facilities, packages, and items. This ensures your labels always reflect accurate compliance data.

Question 3

Can Distru Labels generate New York Retail ID labels?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Distru Labels was built with NY operators in mind. You can generate Retail IDs in bulk, track how many have been printed, and print per-unit labels instantly.

Question 4

What types of cannabis labels can I create with Distru Labels?

You can create two main label types: Package Labels (per package) and Retail ID Labels (per unit, required in NY). Both can be fully customized with METRC fields, custom fields, QR codes, and dynamic product data.

Question 5

Can I customize label templates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Distru Labels includes a flexible label designer where you can add METRC fields, custom fields, branding elements, static text, batch data, and the METRC Retail ID QR code. Templates can be reused anytime.

Question 6

Does Distru Labels update my item or package data?

Accepted Answer

Distru Labels syncs live data from METRC, but you can override item names or add custom fields inside the tool to make labeling easier. These changes don’t affect METRC — they only improve your label workflow.

Question 7

How many Retail IDs can I generate at once?

Accepted Answer

As many as you need. Distru Labels allows you to generate hundreds or thousands of Retail IDs for a package. You’ll see the total count, how many have been printed, and can print more anytime.

Question 8

Can I print labels using any printer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Distru Labels works with standard cannabis label hardware, including Zebra printers, desktop label printers, and browser print dialogs. No special equipment required.

Question 9

Does Distru Labels work outside METRC states?

Accepted Answer

Distru Labels is currently available only for METRC operators, since it relies on METRC’s API for item and package data. If you operate in a BioTrack state, you can use Distru ERP for your labeling needs.

Question 10

What happens if I decide to upgrade to full Distru?

Accepted Answer

Upgrading is simple. The Distru team can help migrate your key data into your main Distru ERP account so you can access full inventory management, batch tracking, manufacturing workflows, and advanced labeling tools. Just request a demo to get started.
