Why NYC

New York City has 100+ licensed dispensaries across all five boroughs with rapid expansion underway. NYC accounts for 40%+ of New York's cannabis retail licenses — the largest local cannabis market opportunity in the country.

NY's 25% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic mandate is the strictest sustainability rule in US cannabis. Glass packaging (tubes, jars) is exempt. We help NYC operators navigate this with the right product mix.

"NYC is the biggest prize in cannabis. Operators who get their packaging supply chain right now will have a structural advantage as this market scales."

— David Shiminsky, Co-Owner

New York City FAQ

Questions New York City Operators Ask

How many dispensaries are in NYC?
New York City has a growing number of licensed dispensaries, with the DASNY and OCM continuing to approve new locations across all five boroughs. Manhattan and Brooklyn have the highest density.
What packaging works for the NYC consumer?
NYC consumers skew premium. Glass tubes, branded pre-roll cones, and UV glass jars for flower perform well. The NYC consumer values design and brand presentation — packaging is part of the product experience here. Custom printing is essential.
How fast can I get packaging to NYC?
Custom orders ship to NYC in 4-8 weeks sea or 7-12 days air. NYC-area deliveries receive priority routing through the Port of New York/Newark. Shipping is included in every quote.
How competitive is NYC's cannabis market?
Intensely competitive and getting more so. Average item prices are $31.29 — highest in the nation. But licensing is still expanding, which means new operators are entering constantly. Cost-efficient supply chains including factory-direct packaging are essential from day one.
What compliance requirements are NYC-specific?
NYC follows New York state OCM rules — no additional city-level packaging requirements. However, NYC's retail environment means packaging gets more scrutiny from informed consumers. Every HIGHER order ships with full OCM compliance documentation.
