Kush Bottles Launches New Advanced Labeling Capabilities

New capabilities will shorten the lead time for labeling processes and continues the expansion of Kush’s diversified suite of products and services for the cannabis supply chain

SANTA ANA, Calif., June 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kush Bottles, Inc. (OTCQB:KSHB) (“Kush Bottles” or the “Company”), a leading provider of packaging, supplies, vaporizers, hydrocarbon gases, solvents, accessories and branding solutions for the regulated cannabis industry, today announced that it has launched new labeling, printing and in-house application capabilities that will shorten the turnaround time on production, eliminate the need for customers to work with multiple vendors and further reinforce The Companies commitment to being a fully integrated partner for clients.

With the new capabilities, Kush Bottles will now have all its own equipment, tooling and materials necessary to process its customers’ customized packaging needs. The Company also announced that is has hired packaging industry veteran Mike Alejos as Director of Production to oversee the new labeling capabilities.

Since joining Kush Bottles, Mr. Alejos has been implementing new processes around how The Company can efficiently optimize these recent investments into the product delivery timeline. He has extensive experience in the custom cannabis packaging solutions space from his most recent role as Owner/Operator of The Label Plugs, which supplied over 250 cannabis businesses with their customized packaging needs.

The addition of these advanced labeling capabilities speaks directly to the true ‘one-stop-shop’ nature of Kush Bottles. As we continue to diversify our offerings, we are adding value and economies of scale for our customer base. For example, we can now take what used to be a two-three-week turnaround time and reduce that by up to two-thirds.

Nick Kovacevich, Kush Bottles’ Chief Executive Officer

The more nimble we can be and the more we can take on for our customers, the quicker they can get their products to market.

The new labeling capabilities and technology will eliminate application labor on some of Kush Bottles’ most popular SKUs, including a variety of pop-tops and glass jars, without sacrificing the quality of the print. Additionally, the increasing tools and equipment will allow the Company to cut UV printing production lead times in half while also lowering the minimum order quantities (MOQ’s).

Some of the new machines include:

  • Vanguard Digital Flatbed UV Printer: The Flatbed UV Printer will be utilized to directly print to a wide variety of our flower jar lids and concentrate containers. With speeds of up to 800 sq.ft.hr. This technology eliminates the application labor without sacrificing the quality of the print, which ultimately enables operators to deliver jobs at higher volume.
  • Epson Large Format Digital Printer: The Epson Large Format printer will be utilized for low quantity runs, prototyping, samples and our marketing/trade show printing needs. Featuring newly-developed Epson solvent ink, for outstanding photographic print quality, durability, speed and media compatibility.
