Labeling THCa Products the Right Way: Stay Legal, Stay Smart

With the explosive popularity of THCa flower across the U.S., staying compliant isn’t just smart — it’s necessary. Whether you’re packaging for retail, shipping direct-to-consumer, or running a small hemp operation, labeling laws under the 2018 Farm Bill can make or break your business.

In this post, we’re breaking down exactly what should go on your THCa packaging — and why it matters now more than ever.


⚖️ Why Labeling THCa Products Matters

While THCa is federally legal under the hemp bill, it’s a gray area in many states. What separates you from an illegal cannabis product? Your label.

Proper labeling communicates to:

  • Law enforcement that your product complies with the 2018 Farm Bill
  • Consumers that they’re buying a legitimate hemp-derived item
  • Shipping carriers that the item is federally legal to transport
  • State regulators that you take compliance seriously

🧾 What Should Be on a Compliant THCa Label?

To remain fully compliant with the 2018 hemp law, your labels should include:

Product name and “Industrial Hemp” or “THCa Hemp”
✅ A disclaimer: “This product contains less than 0.3% Δ9 THC on a dry weight basis”
Batch ID or QR code linked to a COA (Certificate of Analysis)
Total cannabinoid content breakdown (THCa %, Delta-9 %, CBD, etc.)
Weight or volume
Not for sale to minors and age restriction (18+ or 21+)
Manufacturer details (name, address, or license number)
✅ Optional but smart: “This product complies with the 2018 Farm Bill”

A clearly labeled bag can be the difference between your product getting confiscated or making it safely into your customer’s hands.


📦 Choosing the Right Packaging for the Job

Let’s be honest: tossing THCa flower into a blank pouch with a sharpie isn’t going to cut it in 2025.
