The Magic is in the Details: Why SHAKE is Proudly Hand-Packaged at 23rd State

SHAKE party

At 23rd State, every glittering drop of SHAKE isn’t just a beverage enhancer—it’s a carefully crafted experience. From our bold branding to our high-quality hemp-derived Delta-9 infusion, every aspect of SHAKE is created with intention. But one of the things we’re most proud of? Every bottle is hand-packaged, right here at home.

In an era of automation and mass production, we’ve chosen a different route. One that emphasizes care, connection, and craftsmanship. Let us take you behind the scenes to show why hand-packaging SHAKE isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about values.

The Story Behind SHAKE

SHAKE is the first edible glitter dropper infused with hemp-derived Delta-9 THC, designed to elevate the beverage experience in a way that feels playful, functional, and effortlessly chic. Made with high-quality ingredients and infused with dazzling edible glitter, SHAKE transforms any drink into a sparkling moment of joy.

With vibrant flavors like Blush Crush, Citra Stash, and Fresh Press, SHAKE was born out of a desire to create something innovative for people who don’t see themselves represented in the cannabis industry. And that means we care deeply about how it gets made.

Why Hand-Packaged Matters

Hand-packaging SHAKE isn’t just a stylistic choice—it reflects our commitment to quality, community, and conscious cannabis.

1. Quality Control, Every Step of the Way

When each bottle is filled and labeled by hand, our team has full control over the final product. We inspect every batch for consistency in flavor, texture, glitter dispersion, and color vibrancy. There are no shortcuts. Just real people making sure each SHAKE bottle meets our standards—and yours.

2. Local Jobs, Real Impact

By choosing hand-packaging over automated systems, we’re investing in people. We provide jobs to our local Minneapolis community and work closely with passionate individuals who believe in what we’re building. It’s more than a production line; it’s a team effort grounded in connection and pride.

3. Sustainable & Intentional Practices

We believe small-batch, hand-packaged products are inherently more sustainable. We minimize waste, maximize intention, and focus on efficiency without sacrificing quality. Every SHAKE bottle is filled with care, labeled with accuracy, and boxed with a personal touch.

4. Product Integrity

When you choose SHAKE, you’re getting a product that’s been thoughtfully created from start to finish. Hand-packaging ensures that the integrity of the product is never compromised. From the golden shimmer of SHAKE Gold to the fresh citrus zing of Citra Stash, what you see is what we made—by hand.

From Our Hands to Yours

There’s something special about knowing a real person packaged the product you’re about to enjoy. It’s not just a bottle; it’s a message from our team to you: We care about what you consume. We care about your experience. And we care about showing up differently in the cannabis space.

As a woman-founded and operated business, we also know the importance of representation in every part of our operation. That’s why our packaging team reflects the diversity we want to see more of in the industry. When you support SHAKE, you’re supporting inclusion, equity, and innovation.

Meet the SHAKE Lineup

Each SHAKE is infused with just the right amount of edible glitter and hemp-derived Delta-9 for a light, balanced effect.

Why This Matters

In a world full of overproduced, underthought products, SHAKE is something different. It’s intentionally created for a different kind of cannabis consumer—the one who wants something beautiful, functional, and personal.

Hand-packaging SHAKE is just one way we show our dedication to that mission. It allows us to:

  • Keep our production personal and precise

  • Ensure the highest quality with every bottle

  • Provide local jobs and pay fair wages

  • Lead with intention in an evolving industry

Final Thoughts

The future of cannabis doesn’t look like the past. And at 23rd State, we’re proud to help shape that future with products that sparkle, uplift, and reflect the values we believe in. SHAKE isn’t just another THC product—it’s a movement in a bottle. A little glitter, a lot of heart, and a whole lot of intention.

So next time you add SHAKE to your drink, know that it came from our hands to yours—carefully poured, proudly packed, and ready to shine.
