A Wellness Brand with a Story: Live Rishi

In the last few years, new CBD and wellness products have been cropping up everywhere you look. At gas stations and grocery stores and even in new CBD-specific shops, there are CBD products to help with everything from relaxation to pain management and insomnia. But, as with all health and wellness products, not all CBD offerings are created equal.


In 2018, Dion Label Printing partnered with a brand that was not only making high-quality and reliable CBD products, they were doing so based on a strong mission to help others. Live Rishi is a lifestyle brand founded on holistic all natural organic living, and all of their products are meant to provide the gifts of the earth to everyone with love, care, and respect.


Live Rishi Story


One of the co-founders of Live Rishi, Linda, nearly lost her life from complications due to prescription drugs. She was lucky to survive thanks to faith, her loving husband, Jim, and the healing properties of CBD. Jim's late mother left behind a journal containing a list of holistic ingredients for a CBD recipe, which they concocted to aid in Linda's recovery. It would later provide the base for what would become the brand’s signature Rishi Rub.


Jim and Rishi had a fortuitous chance meeting in 2016 when Jim was driving for Uber and happened to pick Rishi up. On that ride they ended up discussing the unfortunate circumstances of Jim’s wife’s condition and medical bills. Rishi recalls, “I wanted to do something kind for them both and invited the couple out for a drink. After learning that CBD was a key ingredient in healing Linda’s pains, aches, and even surgical scar, I tried using some on myself. My skin felt completely rejuvenated. We began to talk about the possibility of how their homemade recipe could help many people throughout the world. Thus, Live Rishi.”The body content of your post goes here.

Rishi Drops

From the very first, they have been independent and self-funded. They experienced many trials and errors when they started, but they have always believed that their business exists to bring people the highest quality relief. Rishi says, “We are focused on making the best products without cutting corners to pay dividends to any external investors who are only interested in a financial ROI, and also walking away from any offers or partnerships where there were attempts to pressure us into cheaper costs by sacrificing our products’ quality.”


Now in 2021 they have their own facility in Arizona where every product is created in small batches. And the co-founders are truly involved in every aspect of the brand, as Jim and Linda make the products by hand! This year also marked their USDA Organic Certification. According to Rishi, “from the beginning we have always used the highest quality organic ingredients. We are now USDA Certified Organic in both our Rishi Drops tinctures and our flagship Rishi Rub products.”


Live Rishi Products


Live Rishi offers CBD topical products and tinctures, all holistic and all-natural formulas crafted in small batches. Each ingredient is carefully chosen and sourced with only the highest degrees of quality with rigorous 3rd party testing to ensure purity and potency.

 Partnership with Dion Label Printing

Once the team at Rishi perfected the process of creating top-notch products that boast of so many health benefits, they realized they needed a label and packaging supplier who shared their values around quality and service. With over half a century in the label printing industry, we at Dion Label Printing understand that providing outstanding print solutions is about more than just the final labels. Building relationships with our clients and providing them with unparalleled service is of paramount importance to us, and we love working with meaning-driven brands like Live Rishi.


When we asked Rishi what drew the company to Dion for labels and packaging, he said “The friendly service and quick response times made selecting Dion an easy choice. Dion treated us like we were very important as a customer even though it was our first time. They even offered us terms. That is the way business ought to be done. With Trust, Respect, and Responsibility.” We agree wholeheartedly, which is why our dedicated Label Solutions and Customer Support Specialists are ready and available to help with any issues or questions that arise and are always on the lookout for ways to help our partners save on cost and be more efficient as well. Rishi says they “have saved thousands in unnecessary up charges and reprints because Dion always hits the mark!”


Rishi continued, “On a scale of 1-10, Dion could easily be a 12. A professional company that always under promises and over delivers. Since we’ve switched to Dion, our quality of labels has improved and the perceived value of our products increased as well. We get lots of compliments on our packaging, and Dion played a huge role. We’ve received positive feedback from our retail partners about the quality of our packaging. Having compliant packaging is key to our credibility, especially when selling dietary supplements. Dion helped us find a way to get us to compliance by printing our SPL’s on the back of our labels though a peel feature.”


To us, while we pride ourselves on our superior quality printed labels, it’s equally essential that we provide our partners with an all-around excellent experience. And when those partners have a mission as honorable as that of live Rishi and we are able to help them achieve success and reach a wider customer-base and help more people, we feel truly grateful for the opportunity to contribute in our small way.


Since Rishi, Jim, and Linda met in the summer of 2016, they have been fortunate to grow with their customers and community. They couldn't have made it this far without their loyal repeat customers or their dedicated team both in and outside of the office. Rishi says they “love sharing our knowledge with those we work with so we can all succeed together!” The team at Dion agrees!

Designing a label can be an involved process; logos, fonts, layout, material, and finish all must be taken into account. Then there’s the product-specific copy and information to include. It’s easy to get hung up on any or all of these things, but don’t forget to consider the importance of color selection While you may be choosing your colors based on your product or on your own color preference, you always want to make sure your colors are communicating the right thing to potential customers.

As part of Inovar Packaging Group, Dion Label Printing is working to creating a world-class enterprise by building an innovative platform to drive sustainable growth and handle the increasingly complex demands of our diverse range of customers. Over the last several years, our parent company Inovar has acquired new facilities at a quick pace, including, most recently: Cimarron Label in Sioux Falls, SD and Amherst Label in Milford, NH. Acquiring is a major part of Inovar’s strategy to grow the company and better serve our customers and our internal teams, and we are concurrently working to expand our capacity, capabilities, and service offerings in other ways. To that end Inovar has recently moved into a newly renovated headquarters building in Dallas, TX. Located just a short distance from Inovar’s previous facility headquarters, the new location was built to showcase the mission of our brand. At triple the size of the last facility, this brand new building with its huge increase in both office and production space will enable us to provide even more solutions and support to our customers. The new facility is not just larger, however. In order to increase our capacity, capabilities, and offerings, and give our customers the highest quality labels and packaging solutions, we’ve added two new flexographic presses and a new digital press. Our Director of Marketing, Ashley Stewart, states, “the additional capacity, services, and embellishment capabilities will greatly increase our ability to meet all the requirements of even the most demanding brands. The team is thrilled to debut the new facility and showcase our capabilities to our existing and future customers.”  We also have other expansions in the works. An addition of almost 20,000 additional square feet of production and warehousing space will expand Inovar’s Milwaukee, WI, location, Flexo-Graphics, and its presence in the area. We are excited for the opportunities our growth provides us to continue our rise as a premier label and packaging solution provider. Contact us today and let our growth help fuel yours.
