Government warning1
The rule sets these five statements inside quotation marks, so print them word for word. There is no rotation scheme and no product-specific variant. Subparagraph (D) spells the age out as 'twenty-one'. Set terminal punctuation per 3 AAC 306.345(b)(3), the retail-store section governing the package the consumer receives, because 3 AAC 306.570(c)(4)(A)-(C) is codified inconsistently. Alaska prescribes the five statements as one block on every retail package, so this is a single copy-and-paste unit for every product type - nothing to assemble.
All marijuana and marijuana products sold at retail
Exact text required

Alcohol & Marijuana Control Office (AMCO) prescribes this wording. Reproduce it character for character, including capitalization and punctuation.

Marijuana has intoxicating effects and may be habit forming and addictive. Marijuana impairs concentration, coordination, and judgment. Do not operate a vehicle or machinery under its influence. There are health risks associated with consumption of marijuana. For use only by adults twenty-one and older. Keep out of the reach of children. Marijuana should not be used by women who are pregnant or breast feeding.

Packaging & Labeling Rules

Child-ResistantEvery marijuana product sold at retail has to be in child-resistant packaging.
  • Significantly difficult for children under five years old to open.
  • Not normally difficult for adults to use properly.
  • No test standard is named anywhere in the rule.
Notes on this section — 3
  • The certified-closure default is industry practice and our house standard, not an Alaska requirement.
  • Alaska cites no CPSA, PPPA, 16 C.F.R. 1700 or ASTM standard.
  • The rule states a condition at the point of retail sale and prescribes no remedy for a non-child-resistant upstream package.
3 AAC 306.345(a)(3)
LabelingLabel content splits between the retail store's label and the manufacturer's label, and both are text only.
  • Retail store label: store name or distinctive logo.
  • Retail store label: marijuana establishment license number, format AK Lic. #.
  • Retail store label: estimated amount of total THC in the labeled product.
  • Retail store label: the five required warning statements.
  • Manufacturer label: net weight or volume.
  • Manufacturer label: production lot number.
  • No test-results panel on retail artwork.
  • Potency range as percentages, microbial results and residual solvent results are shipping-container items for licensee-to-licensee transfers.
  • Royal Supply house standard — stricter than the Alaska rule. Edibles, Royal Supply house checklist: add product name and an ingredients list.
Notes on this section — 2
  • The ingredients list is Royal Supply practice from our Alaska reference layout, drawn as callout 6 on the edibles sample placement. It is not a listed retail label item.
  • Product name on edibles is likewise our checklist, not a named retail label item.
3 AAC 306.345(b)(1)-(3); 3 AAC 306.570(c)(1)-(3); 3 AAC 306.475(e)(1)-(3); 3 AAC 306.570(d)
THC SymbolAlaska mandates no universal symbol and no THC symbol of any kind.
  • The only THC element on a consumer package is written, not graphic.
  • Print the estimated amount of total THC in the labeled product, stated by the retail store.
  • Reserve no space for a state icon, graphic or mark.
  • Royal Supply keeps an optional Alaska mark for artwork consistency. Printing it is a design choice.
Notes on this section — 2
  • Alaska's three label sections list content in words only; no label is penalized for leaving a mark off.
  • Never present the Royal Supply mark to a customer as a state requirement.
3 AAC 306.345(b)(2); no symbol provision in 3 AAC 306.345, .475 or .570
Health WarningsFive warning statements, prescribed word for word - fixed copy, not substance you can paraphrase.
  • Print the block exactly as it appears in the Government Warning entry above.
  • Spell the age out as twenty-one, never the numeral 21.
  • No rotation scheme and no product-specific variants.
  • Same five statements on every product type, flower through topicals.
  • Set 'breast feeding' as two words, as the rule does.
Notes on this section — 2
  • The statements appear in three independent sections, which is why there is no room to vary them.
  • Set terminal punctuation per the retail-store section, which governs the package the consumer actually receives. The manufactured-product section is codified inconsistently.
3 AAC 306.345(b)(3); 3 AAC 306.475(a); 3 AAC 306.570(c)(4)
Serving SizeMulti-serving marijuana products must show where one serving ends — and the marking goes on the product itself, not on the label.
  • Multi-serving product: the product itself carries markings or demarcations clearly delineating each serving.
  • Multi-serving liquid product: the packaging states the number and size of individual servings.
  • Single-serving products: no delineation requirement.
  • Variety packs: every required label goes on each product inside AND on the exterior of the pack.
Notes on this section — 2
  • The demarcation duty is written onto the product, so it is a mould, score or wrapper decision rather than an artwork one. Only the liquid case is satisfied by printing on the package.
  • The rule speaks of marijuana products generally, not edibles alone.
3 AAC 306.565(b)(2), (f)
Opaque PackagingThe product only has to be opaque by the time the customer walks out of the store, not in its primary container.
  • Opaque means the contents cannot be seen without opening the package.
  • An opaque package from the cultivation or manufacturing facility satisfies it outright.
  • Otherwise the store or the consumer adds an opaque package before the consumer exits.
  • Clear primary container plus an opaque exit bag is compliant, and usually cheaper.
3 AAC 306.345(a)(4), (c)
ResealablePackaging must be resealable at the point of sale — the same subsection that sets child resistance.
  • Specify a resealable closure on the package the product leaves the store in.
  • Resealable and child-resistant are one combined requirement here, not two separate ones.
Notes on this section — 1
  • The duty sits on the retail store, so a non-resealable primary container is compliant if the store's own package reseals. Shipping a resealable primary container is the simpler way to discharge it.
3 AAC 306.345(a)(3)
Notable RulesNo imagery aimed at people under 21 — but the ban is written into two specific places, not as a blanket rule.
  • Edible product containers and packaging: no printed images, including cartoon characters, that specifically target individuals under 21.
  • Flower packed by a cultivator for direct retail sale without repackaging: the same prohibition.
  • Both provisions also require the packaging to protect the product from contamination and to impart nothing toxic or damaging.
Notes on this section — 2
  • This page previously said the under-21 imagery ban ran across packaging and labeling generally. It does not — Alaska attaches it to those two cases, and no equivalent provision covers, say, a manufacturer's concentrate or vape packaging.
  • Treat it as a design floor anyway. A mark that would fail the edible test is unlikely to be worth defending on another product type, and the rest of the chapter is silent rather than permissive.
