Why Stock This Category

The fastest-growing nicotine format in US retail

Nicotine pouches are up 160% YoY in US smoke shops and c-stores. Stores that do not stock them lose the entire entry-tier nicotine buyer — the customer walks in, sees only one brand, and leaves for a competitor.

ZYN is not the only SKU you should carry

A single-dose, single-brand shelf misses 40% of the walk-in pouch buyer. Stocking a value-tier brand (GLD) alongside the premium (ZYN) covers both the entry buyer and the repeat buyer.

The dose mix that works

3mg + 6mg + 9mg covers first-time users through heavy daily users. Skipping the 3mg tier loses the conversion buyer.

What Is in the Category

  • Premium tier: ZYN, VELO, On! — established brand demand
  • Value tier: GLD — same pouch format, better margin
  • Entry dose: 3mg — converts first-time users
  • Daily dose: 6mg — the most popular single SKU
  • Heavy dose: 9mg, 12mg — for former dip users
  • Flavor range: Mint, berry, citrus, tobacco, wintergreen

Wholesale Economics

The margin difference

ZYN wholesale leaves 15–20% retail margin. GLD typically supports 35–45% at comparable retail prices. Stock both — ZYN drives traffic, GLD drives margin.

Case pack and fulfillment

GLD ships 1 master case = 20 tins × 5-pack = 100 tins. ZYN ships by sleeve. Both fulfill same-day from our Dallas warehouse for PACT-compliant shipping.

Sell-through benchmarks

Top smoke shop accounts turn 2–3 master cases per week on 3mg and 6mg alone. Flavor variety adds 30–40% to total category revenue.

Frequently Asked

Does PACT Act apply to me as a retailer?

Yes. We handle carrier compliance (adult-signature, FedEx restricted). You handle in-store age verification. PACT filing is our responsibility at the wholesale side.

Can I order flavored pouches in MA or CA?

CA yes with restrictions. MA no — all flavored nicotine is banned at retail. Check state restrictions before ordering.

What is a safe starter order?

First-time accounts typically start at 1 master case per flavor on the top 3 flavors. Most reorder in 3 weeks.

Do I need to carry multiple brands?

We recommend ZYN and GLD minimum. ZYN for brand demand, GLD for margin support.
