Ohio Cannabis Packaging Guide
Ohio's adult-use market launched August 2024. The DCC requires a unique color DCC Seal on the front of every package (minimum ¼"×¼", no B&W). DCC has pre-approved packaging types including tubes — HIGHER's PET and glass tubes match for streamlined compliance attestation. SB 56 (effective March 2026) introduces 35% THC cap on flower and 400 dispensary cap.
