How Volume Stacking Works
Most packaging suppliers quote per-state volumes independently. If you need 300K cones in Michigan and 200K in Ohio, they treat those as two separate orders — each at the 250K tier price. With HIGHER, your total volume across all states determines pricing. That 500K combined volume hits the 500K tier on the entire order.
Compliance Varies More Than You Think
Michigan requires opaque, child-resistant, resealable packaging. California adds Prop 65 warnings and a universal cannabis symbol. New Jersey requires plain packaging with no marketing imagery. These aren’t abstract differences — they mean different labeling, different container types, and different documentation per state.
HIGHER maintains compliance guides for all 13 states and ships the correct documentation with each state’s order. You don’t need a compliance department to keep track of it — we do it as part of the standard process.
Multi-Drop Shipping
Sea freight (4–8 weeks): One production run, split at our warehouse, shipped to each facility address. Shipping included in all per-unit pricing.
Air freight (7–12 days): Available at additional cost for state-specific rush orders. Useful when one market moves faster than expected.
Staggered delivery: Not all states launch at the same time. We can stage production and ship on your timeline — Michigan first, Ohio two weeks later, Illinois a month after that.
Who This Is For
MSOs operating 2+ states who want consistent packaging quality and pricing across all markets without managing multiple vendor relationships.
Brands expanding into new states who need compliant packaging for a new market and don’t want to find a new supplier every time they cross a state line.
Processors scaling production who need volume pricing that reflects their total business, not their per-state splits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I ship to different addresses per state?
Yes. One order, multiple ship-to addresses. Each address gets the correct product mix and compliance docs for that state.
Do I get one invoice or separate invoices per state?
One invoice, one PO. We can itemize by state on the invoice if your accounting requires it.
What if I add a new state later?
We add the state to your next order. Your total volume across all states still determines pricing. No new vendor onboarding, no new account setup.
Do you handle state-specific labeling?
We provide compliance documentation and labeling specs for each state. For custom-printed packaging with state-specific label artwork, we handle the printing — you provide the approved artwork per state.
