Grabba · format sorting and buyer specification

Choose the format before the order.

Grabba Formats separates whole leaf, broken leaf, and loose formats into a practical commercial path for bold leaf character, texture and moisture, packaging fit, quality review, and qualified B2B buyer handoff.

Format names must mean something.

Buyers need more than a category label. ONTCSA frames each grabba option by presentation, cut condition, moisture expectation, packaging path, and how the format should be described for adult-use market review.

Format 01

Whole leaf

Whole leaf supports a stronger presentation story when the buyer needs visible leaf identity, handling clarity, and controlled packaging expectations.

Format 02

Broken leaf

Broken leaf gives buyers a practical value path where size, leaf mix, condition, and packout discipline matter more than display presentation.

Format 03

Loose formats

Loose formats require precise discussion of cut, texture and moisture, aroma, retail unit, bulk case flow, and market-dependent label review.

Handling map

Bold leaf needs disciplined handling.

Grabba format decisions affect conditioning, sorting, case preparation, pouch or bulk assumptions, sample review, and buyer-side compliance language.

Leaf condition: color, aroma, body, flexibility, and visible consistency.
Format preparation: whole, broken, or loose expectations before packout.
Buyer language: clear adult-use product descriptions without unsupported claims.

Packout fit

The format should match the package.

Whole leaf, broken leaf, and loose formats create different packout needs. ONTCSA keeps pouch, jar, carton, bulk, master case, label space, freshness, and reorder expectations connected before the buyer requests a quote.

Quality checkpoints

Samples should match reorder expectations.

Quality review connects the selected grabba format with leaf condition, visual inspection, packout notes, lot context, and the buyer information needed for production-ready B2B supply conversations.
