Cannabis Packaging Labels Ontario — Health Canada Requirements
Every cannabis product sold in Canada must meet Health Canada's Cannabis Regulations (SOR/2018-144) for packaging and labelling — and non-compliance means product seizure, fines, or licence revocation. Niagara Stands Out prints cannabis packaging labels that meet every federal requirement while keeping your brand identity intact within the strict regulatory framework.
Health Canada Cannabis Labelling Requirements
The Cannabis Act and Cannabis Regulations mandate extremely specific label content:
- Standardized Cannabis Symbol: The red stop-sign-shaped THC symbol must appear on the principal display panel.
- Health Warning Messages: Rotating health warnings from Health Canada's prescribed list — bilingual, occupying a minimum percentage of label area.
- THC/CBD Content: Total THC and CBD content per unit/package in milligrams.
- Plain Packaging: Single uniform colour, no metallic or fluorescent finishes, no imagery beyond the brand name in a prescribed font size.
- Bilingual Text: All information in both English and French.
- Lot Number & Packaged Date: Traceability information for Health Canada recall capability.
- Licensed Producer Info: Name, phone, email of the licence holder.
- Net Weight/Volume: Metric measurement of product contents.
