AB 2249: A California Cannabis Label Artwork Checklist
Use California's AB 2249 signing announcement to review label imagery, record artwork decisions and identify timing questions for DCC or legal review.
THE REFERENCE / Packaging Cases
Packaging Cases
Read dated packaging examples and translate them into bounded design questions.
What this section helps you decide
A published packaging example can explain why a decoration approach was chosen, but it cannot prove the same result on another bottle. Here, historical examples are dated and attributed, with a clear distinction between what a source reported and what remains to be evaluated. Small cosmetic containers and beverage bottles are considered from the label and application perspective.
For a complementary view, continue to Materials.
A reading route
- Read the original report and note the year, package and purpose of the decoration.
- Separate reported design choices from conclusions about today’s materials or machinery.
- Use the materials and application sections to build a sample evaluation for your own container.

For a dated example of how transparent graphics and the bottle worked together, read Clear Bottle Labels: The Ethos Water Packaging Example. Separate the historical reporting from the conditions a present-day project still needs to verify.
For a small bottle or jar, establish the usable area with Small Cosmetic Bottle and Jar Labels: Define the Usable Label Zone. Work from the actual straight wall, shoulder and seam rather than a generic size.
Clear Bottle Labels: The Historical Ethos Water Case
Separate the reported Ethos label and equipment facts from the bottle, artwork and application conditions a new project needs to verify.
Small Cosmetic Bottle and Jar Labels: Define the Usable Zone
Map straight walls, shoulders and seams on small bottles and jars, then record blank-contour fit separately from construction and finished-print observations.
