NY Metrc Distributor-to-Dispensary deadline: 15 days remaining

Standard QR codes provide zero authentication

Your Metrc QR codes are trivially copyable. A photo, a printer, and 30 seconds is all it takes to duplicate a label. That duplicate scans as valid. SafeChain fractal QR labels degrade measurably when photocopied -- standard QR codes do not.

Counterfeits are undetectable

Up to 70% of vapes in US retail stores are unauthorized. Standard QR labels provide no way to distinguish real from counterfeit. Counterfeit products have tested positive for heavy metals, pesticides, and vitamin E acetate.

Regulatory deadlines are here

NY Metrc now requires Retail Item ID QR codes on all cannabis packaging. The Distributor-to-Dispensary transfer deadline is February 28, 2026. FDA enforcement budget: $200M for FY2026.

Audit trails are manual

When OCM auditors arrive unannounced, producing a chain of custody report from seed to retail shelf takes hours of manual reconciliation between Metrc, spreadsheets, and paper records.

Three steps to verifiable labels

No hardware procurement. No app downloads. No changes to your Metrc workflow.

1

Generate

Upload your SKUs and Metrc UIDs. SafeChain generates fractal QR labels in batches of up to 10,000. Each label encodes a unique, photocopy-sensitive pattern.

2

Print & Apply

Print labels on your existing printer. Apply alongside your Metrc QR. No new equipment, no NFC tags. Works with standard label stock at 300+ DPI.

3

Scan to Verify

Anyone with a phone can scan. Authentic products verify instantly. Photocopied labels fail. Every scan creates an auditable chain of custody record.
