Detroit Cannabis Packaging

Michigan's new 24% wholesale tax took effect January 1, 2026 — stacking on top of the existing 10% excise and 6% sales tax for a combined 40% tax burden. January 2026 sales fell 16% month-over-month to $226M.

The Michigan Senate Fiscal Agency projects a 14.4% decline in annual sales. Senate Bill 810 has been filed to repeal the wholesale tax, but until that moves, every dollar saved on packaging cost goes directly to offsetting the tax hit.

At current volumes, a Detroit operator ordering 500K pop-top tubes saves $5,500–$11,000 per order by going factory-direct versus a distributor. That's real margin recovery in a 40% tax environment.

Detroit's product mix skews toward high-volume pre-roll formats. The majority of our Detroit orders are 116mm pop-top tubes (local Michigan stock, ships 2-7 days) and custom pre-roll cones in 98mm and 109mm sizes.

Multi-pack pre-roll jars are growing fast in this market — operators packaging 5-packs and 10-packs for the $30-50 retail tier are switching from individual tubes to PET multi-pack jars with CR lids and custom logo printing.

Glass tubes and UV jars are less common in Detroit's price-sensitive market, but operators selling above the $15 retail tier per unit are using glass for shelf differentiation.

Michigan local stock (116mm pop-tops): Ships from our Michigan facility. 2-7 business days to anywhere in Metro Detroit. 100K MOQ at $0.048-$0.050/unit.

Custom orders: 4-8 weeks sea freight, 7-12 days air. All quotes include shipping to your Detroit facility — no surprise freight charges at invoice.

Same-region advantage: Detroit operators don't pay the cross-country freight premium that California or Colorado operators absorb. Michigan-to-Michigan means lower landed cost on every order.
