The Ultimate Papers Guide

Enjoying cannabis means more than just choosing the right strain - choosing the right papers also plays a crucial role. In this ultimate guide, you will learn everything you need to know about the different types of papers, their properties and the resulting benefits.

Different versions of papers

1. Papers Solo

These are the classic papers and are perfect for individual use. They come in different sizes, mostly King Size or King Size Slim , with King Size Slim being established as the standard on the market. However, there is no one size, they can range from 107x36mm to 110x44mm. This always depends on the manufacturer. They usually contain 32 - 42 leaves. They are available in various materials, from cellulose (wood) to rice, hemp or bamboo. The Solo Longpapers are ideal for those who like to roll their joints individually. For lovers of stickies, thick fuses and inside out.

2. Paper Rolls

The paper rolls, also known as endless rolls, offer maximum flexibility as they allow you to cut the desired length yourself. The sizes usually vary between 4-5 meter rolls. As with all rolling papers, the material can be made from cellulose, hemp, bamboo or rice. The unbleached RAW Classic Paper Rolls with 5m dimensions are very popular here, for example. Paper rolls are particularly popular with experienced consumers who want to customize their joints to their own preferences. They are often used to create works of art. Great for the well-known L'ers, crosses, rockets, Christmas trees or other masterpieces.

3. Papers + Filters

The Papers + Filters products are available in various designs. They are a practical combination set that contains both the papers and the matching filters. The "filters" can stand for activated carbon filters or tips. They usually contain 32-34 leaves & 32-34 tips or 16 Aktis. An example of the Akti combination pack would be the PURIZE PinkPapes'n'Tips or if you prefer the classic ones with tips, you can't go wrong with the OCB Premium Papers + Tips . Another practical thing is that the activated carbon filters can be easily refilled. These combination packs are ideal for beginners or for those on the go, as they combine everything you need for a perfectly rolled joint in one package. That's why they are becoming increasingly popular.

• King size: 110x44mm and larger

3. Materials

4. Color

While most papers are white, there are also unbleached versions in natural brown or beige tones. Unbleached papers are more environmentally friendly and contain fewer chemicals. The colorful papers, which contain blue or pink colors, for example, are usually bleached with food coloring. This is also the case with our blue SKUNABY EarthBlueEdition papers made from rice paper.

5. Special features + paper thickness

Some papers have special properties, such as slower burning, special flavors or additional filter tips. The thickness of the paper plays a decisive role in the burning behavior. The rule of thumb here is that the thinner the paper, the slower it burns. Of course, you want the joint or blunt to burn slowly so that you can enjoy it for as long as possible. So that you don't waste the good buds if you take a short break. That's why increasingly thinner papers have been developed over the years. The currently thinnest papers in the world are the OCB Ultimate with a paper thickness of 10 g/m². The GIZEH Super Fine also have an impressive paper thickness of 12 g/m². However, a paper thickness of 13-14 g/m² is enough for the fuse to go out as soon as you stop pulling on it. This paper thickness has also become the standard on the market.
