Why St. Louis

St. Louis metro accounts for 35%+ of Missouri's adult-use cannabis sales. The market launched February 2023 — the fastest recreational rollout in US history — and operator demand for compliant packaging is accelerating.

Missouri's plain packaging rules are the strictest in the country. Single primary color, max two logos at 2"×2", no embossing or texture. Brands entering STL need entirely separate packaging SKUs. HIGHER specializes in this.

"Missouri's plain packaging rules caught a lot of operators off guard. We help STL brands get it right the first time — no repackaging, no delays."

— David Shiminsky, Co-Owner

St Louis FAQ

Questions St Louis Operators Ask

How many dispensaries are in St. Louis?
The St. Louis metro area has 30+ licensed dispensaries serving eastern Missouri. St. Louis anchors the state's second-largest cannabis market after Kansas City.
What packaging works for St. Louis?
St. Louis operators need packaging that meets Missouri's strict compliance rules while still standing out on shelf. Neutral-color pop-top tubes with compliant labels are the standard. Glass tubes serve the premium segment at dispensaries in the Central West End and Clayton.
How fast can I get packaging to St. Louis?
Custom orders ship to St. Louis in 4-8 weeks sea or 7-12 days air. St. Louis is centrally located, so freight routing is efficient. Shipping is included in every quote.
Does St. Louis benefit from cross-border demand?
Yes. Illinois consumers in the Metro East cross into Missouri for product availability and pricing. This border dynamic increases volume for St. Louis dispensaries. Kansas has no recreational cannabis, so western Missouri dispensaries also capture cross-border traffic.
What MOQ makes sense for a St. Louis dispensary?
Start at 100K units for tubes. St. Louis dispensaries doing 200+ pre-rolls per week should consider 250K custom orders for better per-unit pricing. Multi-location operators in the metro typically order at 500K.
