Trusted by licensed producers from coast to coast.

The difference

Most LPs are working around their printer.
That's not your job.

Commercial printers tolerate cannabis clients. Akari is built for them.

What you're used to
Weeks of lead time Your job sits behind retail flyers and trade show materials. A cannabis release date means nothing to a general printer.
Minimum order quantities Large shops require runs that force you to over-order, carry dead stock, and write off inventory when a SKU changes.
No visibility until it arrives Your label inventory is a monthly physical count -- if you request it. Your job status is an email you send and wait on. Most LPs have no live view into either.
Compliance is your problem General printers print what you send. A Health Canada issue surfaces after the job runs, not before.

Services

Three things. Done right.
For one industry.

We don't print everything for everyone. We manufacture pressure-sensitive labels and overprint variable data on labels, pouches, and cartons for Canadian licensed producers.

01

Pressure-Sensitive Labels

Printed, die cut, rewound, and held in inventory for you. Draw down what you need, when you need it. Variable compliance data overprinted on demand.

02

Pouch Overprinting

Your pre-made pouches arrive at our facility. We overprint lot numbers, packaging dates, and THC/CBD values directly onto the stock. No labels to apply. No label inventory to manage.

03

Carton Overprinting

Variable data printed directly onto your product cartons. Every required field, accurate across every SKU.

Akari Live

You shouldn't have to call your printer to know what you have in stock.

Akari Live is your online account with us -- real-time inventory, job tracking, and order history in one place. Most LP packaging managers are running on a monthly count and an email thread. Akari Live replaces both.

See how it works

Live label inventory. Your stock count updated in real time. No requesting a count. No waiting for month-end.

Real-time job status. See exactly where your order is from submission to shipping. No follow-up email required.

One-click reorders. Your artwork and specs are saved. Reorder a previous job without starting the process over.

No minimums to work around. Order exactly what you need, when you need it.

Why it matters

The operational case for consolidating your print vendors.

Every vendor you manage is a timeline you can't control, a minimum you have to hit, and an email chain you have to maintain. Akari removes all three.

0 MOQ

No minimums, ever

Order what your run actually requires. No over-ordering to hit a threshold. No dead stock when a SKU changes.

1 vendor

Labels, pouches, cartons

One contact for your entire print program. One invoice. One relationship to manage instead of three.

24/7 live

Inventory visible anytime

Your label stock and job status in Akari Live. No calls. No waiting for someone to check.

Cannabis-only

Cannabis-only, by design.

That decision shapes everything about how we operate, how fast we move, and what we actually know about your packaging requirements.

We know the regulations

Health Canada plain packaging rules, symbol placement, bilingual requirements. We review every job against current requirements before anything prints.

We move at your pace

When you need to launch a new SKU, update compliance data, or retire a format on short notice, we move at that pace. Not a commercial print schedule.

Variable data is not an afterthought

Every compliance field printed accurately across your labels, pouches, and cartons. No separate step. No separate vendor.

Your inventory lives with us

We hold your label stock and you draw down through Akari Live as needed. No advance notice required. Your count is in Akari Live at all times.
