Zig-Zag 1¼ Organic Hemp Papers are ultra-thin rolling papers made from 100% pure, non-GMO hemp fibers sourced from organic farms. Built for smokers who want a clean, slow burn without bleach or additives, these papers deliver smooth flavor and reliable performance. The unbleached hemp and natural gum Arabic mean you're rolling with materials straight from the earth — no chemicals, no shortcuts.
Key Benefits
- Clean, slow burn with no bleach — Unbleached hemp fibers mean no chemical residue or paper taste interfering with your flower
- Ultra-thin design for better flavor — You taste what you rolled, not the paper
- Natural gum Arabic for a secure seal — No synthetic glues or adhesives, just plant-based stick that holds without adding flavor
- Bulk-ready carton for daily rollers — 24 booklets with 50 papers each means you're stocked for the long haul
- Organic, non-GMO hemp fibers — Sourced from farms that skip pesticides and synthetic fertilizers
Best For
These papers are made for daily rollers who care about what goes into their joints. If you're smoking regularly and want to avoid bleached papers or synthetic glues, this is a clean option. The 1¼ size works for standard personal joints — not too big, not too small. The carton format makes sense for people who go through papers consistently and don't want to restock every week.
How to Use It
Roll like you normally would. The ultra-thin hemp means you don't need much material to get a good stick — the natural gum Arabic on the edge seals with a quick lick. Because the paper is unbleached, it's slightly less translucent than standard white papers, but it burns evenly and doesn't canoe if you pack it right. The slow burn gives you more time with each joint, which is the whole point of using thinner papers in the first place.
If you're used to thicker papers, you might notice these feel more delicate when you're rolling. Take your time with the tuck and seal. Once it's rolled, it holds solid. For storage, keep the booklets in a dry spot — hemp paper can absorb moisture if you leave it sitting in a humid room.

Why Organic Hemp Papers
Hemp rolling papers have been around for decades, but organic certification means the fibers come from farms that avoid synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. For people who care about what they consume, that matters. Unbleached papers skip the chlorine treatment used on white papers, which leaves behind trace chemicals. The result is a cleaner burn and a more neutral flavor — you're tasting your flower, not the wrap.
Natural gum Arabic is made from acacia tree sap. It's been used as a food-safe adhesive for centuries, and it works the same way here — it sticks when wet, holds when dry, and doesn't add flavor or burn with a chemical smell. Some cheaper papers use synthetic glues that taste bitter or leave a weird aftertaste. Zig-Zag skips that entirely with gum Arabic.
FAQ
Will these papers fit in a standard rolling machine?
Yes. The 1¼ size is the most common rolling paper format, so it works with most 70mm rolling machines and hand-rolling techniques. If you're using a machine, just make sure it's set for 1¼ papers and not king size.
Do these burn slower than bleached papers?
Generally, yes. Unbleached hemp fibers tend to burn slower than standard wood pulp or bleached papers because the fibers are denser and less processed. You'll get a longer, more even burn if you pack the joint consistently.
How do these compare to Zig-Zag's standard white papers?
These are thinner and made from organic hemp instead of wood pulp. The white papers are bleached and burn slightly faster. If you want a cleaner material and slower burn, go with the organic hemp. If you prefer ultra-thin translucency and don't care about bleach, the white papers work fine.
Can I store these long-term without them drying out?
Yes. Keep the booklets in a dry spot away from direct sunlight. Hemp paper can absorb moisture, so don't leave them in a bathroom or anywhere humid. If stored properly, they'll last months without losing their stick or structure.
Are these papers flavored?
No. These are unflavored, unbleached hemp papers with no added scents or flavors. You taste your flower, not the wrap.
Will these work for tobacco or herbal blends?
Yes. These papers work for rolling tobacco, herbal blends, or cannabis. The slow burn and neutral flavor make them versatile for whatever you're rolling.
Why buy a full carton instead of individual booklets?
If you're a regular roller, buying a carton means you're not restocking every week. 1,200 papers lasts months for most people, and the per-paper cost drops when you buy in bulk. If you're sharing with friends or rolling daily, the carton makes sense. If you're trying them out for the first time, grab a single booklet first.
