METRC Retail ID Workflow: 4 Simple Steps for Traceable Cannabis Packaging

1
Create the Initial Package

The process begins with bulk cannabis material — for example, bulk trim from a harvest batch.

2.
Repackage into Pre-Roll Material

The bulk flower or trim repackaged into smaller batches.

Each new batch gets its own Metrc package tag, ensuring every stage of processing remains traceable.

3.
‍Final Goods and
Retail IDs

Metrc Retail ID
The bulk trim package is processed and repackaged into multiple pre-roll SKUs, each receiving its own Metrc package tag and dynamic Retail ID.

4.
Transfer Finished Goods

Metrc Retail ID
The packaged pre-rolls are now ready for transfer to other licensed operators. Dynamic Retail IDs keep every package traceable, with data updating automatically through each transfer.
