Pink Papers & Pink Smoke: The Guide to Your All-Pink Setup
Nick Will
Pink papers are pink long papers and rolling papers that work just like classic papers but add color to your setup. At Skunaby, you can find them from GIZEH and PURIZE: as solo papers, in filter combos, and on 4-meter rolls.
In this guide, you'll learn about the different pink papers available, how they differ, and how to create a complete pink smoking setup with filters, a tray, and a Clipper.
Pink Papers: What's the Story Behind Them?
Pink papers are dyed cigarette papers in long paper format. Technically, they differ very little from classic papers: the deciding factors are, as always, the format, paper thickness, and gumming. The color is primarily a style statement. Your setup will be instantly recognizable, and everyone in the group will know exactly which papers are yours.
"Pink smoking" means more than just the paper: it's a setup where everything matches, including pink papers, filters, a tray, and a lighter. You can put together exactly that at Skunaby. You can find all the pink papers we offer bundled in our Pink Papers Collection.
All the pink papers we carry are in the King Size Slim format, the most popular long paper format: long enough for clean builds but still handy. If you want to compare formats and paper types in general, our Best Papers guide will help you.
GIZEH All Pink vs. PURIZE Pink Compared
Two brands dominate the pink paper scene: GIZEH from Germany and PURIZE, known for activated carbon filters. Both offer pink King Size Slim long papers but focus on different things.
| Feature | GIZEH All Pink Papers | PURIZE Pink Papers |
|---|---|---|
| Format | King Size Slim, 107 × 44 mm | King Size Slim, 108 × 36 mm |
| Sheets per booklet | 34 | 42 |
| Paper thickness | 14 g/m² (extra thin) | 14.5 g/m² |
| Material | extra thin paper | wood pulp, organic gum |
| Special feature | booklet with magnetic closure | more sheets, narrower sheet |
| Right for you if... | you want very thin paper and a booklet that stays securely closed on the go | you like many sheets per booklet and a slim format |
GIZEH All Pink Papers are the choice for anyone who likes it thin: at 14 g/m², they are among the thinner papers, and the magnetic closure keeps the sheets protected in your pocket. You can read more about the brand in our GIZEH Guide.
PURIZE Pink Papers come with 42 sheets per booklet and a width of 36 mm. The narrower sheet is suitable for slim builds, and it is gummed with organic gum.
As for taste, the same applies to both: the manufacturers describe their papers as flavor-neutral. The color is for design, not aroma.
Pink Papers with Tips and Rolls: The Combos
If you don't want to buy papers and filters separately, go for a combo. Everything is then readily available in one pack, which is especially practical on the go.
- GIZEH Pink Papers + Filters: 34 pink King Size Slim long papers and 34 matching pink paper filter tips, in a booklet with a magnetic closure. The classic choice for anyone who rolls with paper tips.
- GIZEH All Pink Papers + Activated Carbon Filters: 34 pink long papers and 16 activated carbon filters in a pack with a magnetic closure.
- PURIZE Pink Papes'n'Tips Combo: 32 pink long papers (108 × 36 mm) and 16 XTRA Slim activated carbon filters with a diameter of 5.9 mm, compact for on the go.
- PURIZE Pink Paper Rolls 4 m: a 4-meter roll in King Size Slim width (44 mm). You decide the length yourself, from a short daily to a long build. You can find more endless papers in the Paper Rolls category.
In short: if you roll with paper tips, go for GIZEH Pink + Filters. If you prefer activated carbon, take GIZEH All Pink + Activated Carbon Filters or the PURIZE Papes'n'Tips Combo. If you want to determine the length yourself, take the Pink Rolls.
Pink Activated Carbon Filters
A matching filter belongs with pink paper. We have pink activated carbon filters from GIZEH and KAILAR. GIZEH offers activated carbon filters in the Slim format (Ø 6.0 × 27 mm) in a pink look in two packs:
- GIZEH Pink Activated Carbon Filters 50x: 50 filters in a resealable bag, for regular use.
- GIZEH All Pink Activated Carbon Filters 34x: 34 filters with coconut activated carbon, also packaged in resealable packaging.
According to the manufacturer, both fit King Size Slim, long papers, and conical builds.
New in the shop is a second pink option: The KAILAR Cellulose Activated Carbon Filters in Pink also have coconut activated carbon, in the Slim format (Ø 5.9 × 27 mm) with cellulose ends instead of ceramic. They are available in a 65- or 35-count bag.
The practical side effect of the color: In group sessions, no one confuses the filters.
How activated carbon filters generally work and which size fits your paper is explained in detail in The Best Activated Carbon Filters. If you are torn between PURIZE variants, the PURIZE Filter Comparison will help.
The Complete Pink Setup
A pink setup is only complete when the accessories match too. These three components complement your pink papers:

Common Mistakes & Myths
- Myth "Color = better quality": The color is design. Quality is determined by format, paper thickness, and gumming. Compare the data, not the shade.
- Mistake: confusing formats: King Size Slim is not the same as King Size Slim. GIZEH All Pink is 44 mm wide, PURIZE Pink 36 mm. Anyone accustomed to a certain rolling feel should pay attention to the width.
- Mistake: filters and paper don't fit together: The pink GIZEH activated carbon filters (Ø 6.0 mm) and the PURIZE XTRA Slim filters (Ø 5.9 mm) are designed for slim builds. Check when buying individually whether the filters and paper fit together. The easiest way is with a combo set.
- Myth "Pink papers taste different": Both manufacturers describe their pink papers as flavor-neutral.
- Mistake: transporting papers loosely: Bent sheets are difficult to roll. Booklets with magnetic closure or a combo pack protect them on the go. More on this in Smoking Accessories for on the Go.
Conclusion: Pink is style, the format decides
Pink papers give your setup a unique look and work just like classic long papers. GIZEH All Pink stands for extra thin paper and magnetic closure, PURIZE Pink for more sheets and a slim format. With combos, rolls, pink activated carbon filters, a tray, and a Clipper, you can build a complete all-pink setup.
