Wholesale Labeling & Packaging Applications in TAP
The wholesale option has been added to Packaging and Labeling Applications in TAP. There is now a required section for the “Use Type” on both the package and label application. Wholesale is not available for exit packages.
All manufacturers of wholesale products must submit a package and label application with wholesale selected as the “Use Type.” Please submit these as custom applications to provide images. If there are no designs or graphics, please submit them as “Generic.”
Products that have already been approved on a previous application will not be charged again. The CCD staff will remove the fees before invoicing and approving.
ID Checking Guides
Our licensees’ card because they care, and it’s the law. ID Checking Guides are available for order. However, they are not required. These guides are utilized by businesses, motor vehicle divisions, and government agencies. They are an invaluable tool for any business that is required to verify an individual’s age/DOB.
Marijuana-Related Events
Marijuana licensees may not bring samples/offer for sale/offer discounts on marijuana and marijuana products at conferences and tradeshows as it is not licensed premises per ARM 42.39.123.
Additionally, consumption of marijuana and marijuana products in public spaces remains prohibited per MCA 16-12-108(1)(k)(i).
Retail, Deli-Style Sales
A marijuana dispensary licensee that offers retail deli-style sales must maintain and make available for inspection a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) detailing sterile handling techniques to handle marijuana flower.
Fire Authority & Law Enforcement Webpage- New Resources Available

Metrc – Processing Jobs
The zeroed-out package tag used as the source for the processing job should remain active until the processing job is completed and the resulting product is assigned its own tag. The package tag used as the source can then be finished out in Metrc.
