Rolling Papers

Buying rolling papers made easy

If you look around the paper market, you'll quickly realize that there's a wide range of different papers available. It's easy to get lost in the sheer variety. That's why we want to highlight the differences between the different types of papers and offer you a carefully selected selection of papers in our online head shop.

Sizes and formats

Depending on your rolling habits, i.e., how much you want to smoke, the optimal size of the rolling paper depends on that. Basically, there are two main lengths available. However, these can also differ in width. The standard length is around 70mm. Long papers, such as the King Size format , are the larger option and can reach a length of up to 110mm.

If you roll your cigarettes and other rolling papers with a rolling machine , you'll need one that's suitable for longer and wider papers. If you're the type who isn't committed to a specific length, then rolls (continuous papers) are ideal for you. These are up to 5 meters long, and you can decide for yourself at what length to tear off a piece.

Thickness and strength

Paper thickness is standardized and divided into two grades. These are "Thickness A" and "Thickness B." While this sounds clearly defined at first, many manufacturers categorize their paper thicknesses even more narrowly and have thus created their own systems. All that can be said is that "Thickness A" is thicker than "Thickness B." However, there are no absolute values ​​behind these standard definitions.

Then there are definitions like slim, extra slim, fine, or classic. It should also be noted that these refer to relative thicknesses and can only be compared with other papers from the same manufacturer. If you want to know the actual thickness of the paper, you have to look at the grammage of the material, which is given in grams per square meter.

Materials

Rolling papers are made from plant materials. The most commonly used material is cellulose from forestry. However, other plants are now also being used to make papers. With society's increasing awareness of sustainability (resource conservation, pollution) and the need for improved smoking performance, alternatives have been found. These include materials such as flax, rice, industrial hemp, corn, and sugarcane. Each plant material is characterized by different burning properties and flavor differences.
