Providing high-quality products is a must. But you’ll need more than that to satisfy and win consumers. You’d need compelling Custom CBD Boxes that provide exact product information and meet legal requirements.

What Is CBD?

CBD is cannabidiol, a natural compound found in hemp plants and cannabis. CBD won’t make you feel intoxicated or alter your brain function. It is available in different forms, it can be easily used in a wide variety of products, including skin care products, food supplements, edible oils, cosmetics, and snacks.

CBD’s popularity can be given credit because of its benefits on health and wellness. A survey shows that 3 out of 5 adults find CBD helpful in relieving pain, reducing stress, and improving sleep quality. 1 out of 2 respondents indicated that a doctor recommended CBD as a form of medical intervention and treatment. Apart from common belief, only 35% use CBD for fun or recreational purposes.

In the cosmetic and skincare industry, the most known benefit of CBD is reducing inflammation. This is one of the main reasons consumers buy CBD skincare products. Apart from skincare, CBD has shown great results in reducing seizure episodes in patients with epilepsy. Even the FDA has regulated and approved the use of CBD-based Epidiolex to treat severe and rare forms of epilepsy. This CBD medicine contains a purified form of cannabidiol from hemp and has been deemed safe for use in many seizure disorders.

Legal complexities when selling and packaging CBD products

When the Agriculture Improvement Act was signed in 2018, hemp (Cannabis) and its by-products and extracts were removed from the list of controlled substances and were made legal. CBD products are regulated by the FDA and must comply with regulations, which include a cap of 0.3 percent THC in dry weight.

Apart from Epidiolex, the FDA still hasn’t approved the marketing of CBD as a treatment for any medical condition or disease. CBD products are also removed from the list of dietary supplements. Still, there are a few states that do not impose any restrictions on medical or medicinal cannabis within their jurisdiction. Some states have legalized the use and sale of CBD products, while others do not. There are states that ban the sale of CBD items in interstate commerce. As a CBD seller, you have to comply with all the rules and regulations.

Because the regulations and laws vary from state to state, you really need to do your research and analysis to know which ones to comply with depending on your location and the areas you cater to. Moving on, to help you avoid legal consequences, here are some do’s and don’ts when it comes to CBD product packaging.

Do’s

●     Make sure to print the amount or percentage of CBD or THC on your product packaging. Follow your state regulations and keep the THC under 0.3%.

●     Make it clear what form of CBD is in your products. Is it an extract, oil, or some fancy mixture?  Have this information visible on the product packaging.

●     Mention all essential information clearly. Ensure customers have a clear understanding of the product contents. Include the list of ingredients in your packaging.

Don’ts

●     Don’t advertise or label your CBD product as a dietary supplement or food product. Go through FDA regulations and local state guidelines when labelling CBD products so you know the exact requirements.

●     Don't mislead consumers with tiny prints. A minimalistic approach isn't a good choice when designing labels that are custom-made and advertise CBD products. You'll want to ensure all information is clearly displayed and easy to read.

●     Do not make untrue claims or advertise CBD products as a magical cure to treat or stop illnesses. This is not a recommended practice that can hinder correct and timely medical treatment.
