STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES (SOP) FOR
NABIS DELIVERING YOUR CANNABIS GOODS FOR SALE
Distribution Services
Nabis Distribution works in partnership with Hall of Flowers to provide free services for brands selling cannabis at our events, including intake of Cannabis Goods for Sale, warehouse storage in a climate controlled secure facility, and transport of goods to the show. Even if Nabis is not your current distributor, you can still work with them at Hall of Flower free of charge.
Exhibitors using Hall of Flowers Centralized Dispensary or selling direct from their booth using the Meadow Full Service with an Assigned Retailer option are required to submit Cannabis Goods for Sale through Nabis.
To submit your Cannabis Goods for Sale via Nabis, you must adhere to all of the deadlines and guidelines listed below. Nabis intake will take place one week prior to the show, at specific locations in Northern California and Southern California (see below for details).
To submit your Cannabis Goods for Sale through a different distributor (not Nabis), please follow these deadlines and guidelines in the SOP for Using Your Own Distribution License or Partner.
Steps to Follow for Distributing to Nabis
Book Your Product Intake Appointment
All exhibitors must coordinate the compliant delivery of their cannabis products to one of two Nabis distribution facilities. Nabis operates on a receive-only basis and will not provide pickup services. All product intake is by appointment only and NO products will be accepted after 4:00 PM on the final intake day.
Centralized Dispensary Exhibitors: Since you've already submitted your product information through the dispensary registration process, you do not need to complete the Nabis Distribution Form. Nabis will contact you directly to schedule your product intake appointment using the details you previously provided.
In-Booth Sales Exhibitors: You must complete this Nabis Distribution Form by August 22nd to schedule your product intake appointment.
If your brand currently partners with Nabis for distribution, you must submit the Cannabis Distribution Form above in addition to submitting an order through your Nabis account. Nabis can then fulfill that order from your existing inventory.
If your brand does not currently partner with Nabis for distribution, submit the Cannabis Distribution Form above, and Nabis will contact you directly to schedule a delivery appointment. If you do not receive an email for your product intake appointment, or have questions, please contact help@nabis.com.
Required Information for Distribution Form:
Retail License Number & Legal Business Entity

2. Packaging and PRODUCT Limits
CANNABIS GOODS FOR SALE SUBMITTED TO NABIS SHOULD NOT EXCEED THE ABOVE LIMITS.
Nabis will store all inventory in temperature-controlled warehouses and vehicles. However, no frozen products can be accepted.
All boxes delivered to Nabis must be sealed and clearly labeled with the following information:
“Dispensary” or “In Booth Sales”
# of cases (1 of 2, 2 of 2, etc)
Brand Name
Description of Items (Blue Dream 3.5g Jars)

Nabis will not open any cases. Nabis will be verifying that the labeled item descriptions and quantities on the boxes match the METRC transfer.
CANNABIS GOODS FOR SALE SHALL NOT BE LABELED AS TRADE SAMPLES, AND MUST BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH DCC PACKAGING & LABELING REQUIREMENTS.
3. Prepare Your METRC Manifests & COA’s (Required in Hard Copy upon intake)
METRIC MANIFESTS
Please submit two (2) separate METRC TRANSFERS to Nabis; 1 transfer for “Day 1” products, 1 transfer for “Day 2” products.
The Nabis team will receive the transfers and then create two transfers from their license to either your retail partner or the on-site dispensary as appropriate. Do not send a wholesale manifest to Nabis.
Please note that each brand must have its own separate METRC manifest.
Use the license information below to enter the transaction into the METRC system.
Please keep your blue METRC tags paper-clipped with the METRC transfer manifest upon delivery.
