Coated vs uncoated THCa flower wholesale: which format to stock

Updated October 21, 2026

Most stores can stock both coated and uncoated THCa flower, because Zigg Distro lists Freezo strains in each format. The choice is about shelf space, tagging and how a store wants its flower menu to read. Both formats order through the same wholesale account.

Diamond coated flower carries an added layer of crystalline concentrate on the bud. Uncoated flower is sold as the dried, trimmed bud with nothing added. The sections below cover what each format is and the strains Zigg Distro lists by name. They also cover tags, shelving, lab report matching and ordering.

What diamond coated and uncoated flower mean

Uncoated flower is the bud as it comes from drying and trimming. Nothing is applied afterward. The look, smell and structure of the strain are what the buyer sees.

Diamond coated flower starts as the same kind of bud. A layer of crystalline concentrate, often called diamonds, is then added to the outside. The coating gives the bud a glittering, frosted look that reads differently in a jar or case.

Uncoated: plain bud, strain appearance on display.
Diamond coated: bud with a visible crystal layer.
Both: sold as THCa flower under the Freezo house brand at Zigg Distro.

Zigg Distro's coated and uncoated Freezo listings

Zigg Distro groups its diamond coated strains in the Coated Flower category. Each product name states the format, so the listing itself tells the buyer which kind it is.

The uncoated strains sit in the Freezo category. Each name ends with "Uncoated Flower." The list covers many strain names.

Zoap - Uncoated Flower
Pink Runtz - Uncoated Flower
Apple Fritter - Uncoated Flower
Bubba Kush - Uncoated Flower
Others include Greasy Runtz, Dante Inferno, Neon, Space Center, Wonka Bars, Original Glue, G Wagon and Cherry AK.

How each format sits on the shelf

The two formats look different side by side. That difference helps the shelf. A customer can spot the coated jars from across the counter.

Group coated strains together in one row or one case section.
Keep uncoated strains in a separate row, sorted by strain name.
Use the same jar or container style within each group.
Leave a clear gap or divider between the two groups.

A store with a short flower menu might carry a few uncoated strains and one or two coated ones. A store with a full flower case can run both rows at length. The product pages show what can be ordered.

Shelf tags that tell the two apart

Tags do most of the work when customers compare formats. Staff also rely on them during a busy shift. Copy the format word straight from the Zigg Distro product name.

Brand: Freezo.
Strain name, exactly as listed.
Format: "Diamond Coated Flower" or "Uncoated Flower."
Lot or batch code from the package.
A note on where staff can find the lab report link.

A color code on the tag edge can split the two rows at a glance. The shelf tag template guide covers tag layout in more detail.

Matching each lot to its lab report

Zigg Distro places a lab report link inside the product description on the product pages that carry one. Coated and uncoated versions of a similar strain name are separate products. Each needs its own match.

Check the product name on the report against the package.
Check the format: coated or uncoated.
Check the lot or sample reference against the package.
A matching product name on its own is not a match.

A laboratory sample reference is not always the same number as the batch code on a package. A published report is not by itself proof that it covers the lot in hand. When the two do not line up, ask Zigg Distro through the contact page. The COA reading guide walks through each line.

Ordering coated and uncoated flower together

Stores order both formats through one Zigg Distro wholesale account. The account page explains how to open one.

Zigg Distro ships nationwide. Shipping terms are on the Shipping & Returns page. For more on Freezo strains, see Wholesale THCa flower: Freezo strains in case packs.

On receipt, sort the boxes by format before shelving. Record each lot code on the tag. Then file the matching lab report link.
