Ordering & Pricing
MOQs vary by product. Custom pre-roll cones start at 250K units. Glass and ceramic tip products start at 5,000 units. PET tubes start at 50,000-250,000 depending on the product. Michigan local stock (116mm pop-tops) has a 100K MOQ. Contact us for specific product minimums.
Yes. All per-unit pricing includes sea freight shipping (4-8 weeks). There are no hidden fees, no surprise freight charges. Air shipping (7-12 days) is available at additional cost for rush orders.
50% deposit to start production, 50% due when the order ships. NET 30 terms are available once a relationship is established. NET 30 still requires a deposit to lock your production slot.
Every quote request gets a response within 24 hours. Most get a response the same day. You'll hear directly from David, not a sales rep.
Yes. Contact us to discuss sample options. We can provide samples of most products so you can evaluate quality before committing to a production run.
Absolutely. Our published pricing covers standard volume tiers, but if you're ordering above our listed volumes, we can negotiate custom pricing. Call us directly to discuss.
Products & Customization
We carry a full catalog of cannabis packaging: pre-roll cones (custom, glass tip, ceramic tip), blunt cones (glass, wood, ceramic tip), PET tubes (pop-tops and screw-top lid), glass tubes (5 formats), PET jars (multi-pack and wide-mouth), and glass jars (CR glass and UV glass in 5 sizes). 30 products total.
Yes. Custom printing is available on pre-roll cones, blunt cones, and most tube and jar products. Bring your own artwork or we can help design. Custom logos on glass tips and color bands are also available.
Five standard sizes: 70mm (dogwalker, ~0.5g), 84mm (standard, ~0.7g), 98mm (full size, 1-1.2g), 109mm (king size, ~1.5g), and 120mm (super king, ~2g). All sizes are 26mm diameter.
Glass tips deliver a premium visual and tactile experience with a screen filter and plug. Ceramic tips provide superior heat control and a cooled, smooth draw. Ceramic is the highest-end option, ideal for luxury pre-roll segments. Both are available with custom branding.
We serve all legal adult-use cannabis markets nationally. We're based in Michigan and maintain local stock here, but we ship factory-direct to every legal state in the US.
Shipping & Lead Times
Standard orders ship via sea freight in 4-8 weeks (included in pricing). Air freight is available at 7-12 days for rush orders at additional cost. Michigan local stock (116mm pop-tops) ships in 2-7 business days.
Currently we serve all legal US cannabis markets. Contact us if you have specific international needs and we can discuss options.
We maintain local Michigan stock of 116mm pop-top tubes in 3 colors (clear, black, white). 100K MOQ, $0.050-$0.048/unit, ships in 2-7 business days. This is a Michigan-specific advantage for operators who need packaging fast.
Yes. Tracking is provided for every shipment from the factory to your door. We keep you updated on production status and shipping milestones throughout the process.
Compliance & Documentation
Yes. Every order ships with compliance documentation including CR certifications (where applicable), material safety data, and test reports. We verify your state's requirements before production starts.
Yes. All CR-designated tubes and jars comply with the Federal Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA). CR certification documentation ships with every applicable order.
Cones are the product inside the packaging, not the outer container. CR requirements apply to the tubes and jars that house the cones. In Michigan specifically, CR is not required for pre-roll packaging, though it is recommended.
Yes. We have a comprehensive Michigan compliance guide on our site, and additional state guides are coming. We verify state-specific requirements on every order before production.
About HIGHER Packaging
David Shiminsky (Operations) and David Esshaki (Sales). Both co-owners are directly involved in every account. When you call, you talk to an owner, not a sales rep.
We source every product directly from manufacturing partners. No brokers, no distributors, no middlemen. This eliminates the 15-30% markup that broker-model companies add. The savings go directly to your bottom line.
Three key differences: (1) Factory-direct pricing with no broker markup, (2) Owner-operated accountability on every order, and (3) Full catalog with shipping included in all pricing. Most competitors are either brokers adding markup, limited-range specialists, or print shops first and packaging suppliers second.
Sales (David Esshaki): 248-794-2807. Operations (David Shiminsky): 248-982-2920. Email: sales@higherpackaging.co. We respond to every inquiry within 24 hours.
