ZIG ZAG ORIGINAL WHITE PAPERS

Zig Zag Original White Papers are iconic single-wide rolling papers made for smokers who like to keep it classic and consistent. If you want a clean, thin paper that won’t fight you while you roll, this is the old-school booklet everyone recognizes. At 70mm x 38mm, they’re perfect for tighter, personal rolls with a smooth, even burn.

Why You’ll Keep Reaching for These

  • Classic single-wide size — 70mm x 38mm (about the size of a standard cigarette) keeps your rolls small, efficient, and easy to control.
  • Smoother-tasting smoke — Thin flax fibers burn clean so you taste your flower, not a mouthful of paper.
  • Reliable seal every time — A light line of natural gum Arabic grabs instantly when you’re done rolling, no wrestling with the glue.
  • Burns slow and even — Designed to avoid canoeing when you pack evenly, so you’re not babysitting your roll the whole sesh.
  • Zero nonsense ingredients — Natural plant fibers and gum only, so you know exactly what’s going up in smoke.
  • Carton quantity that actually lasts — 24 booklets per carton, 32 leaves each, so heavy rollers and shops stay stocked.

Best For

These are made for people who want that classic-sized hand roll—folks who like a couple of solid personal smokes a day instead of giant party bats. They’re also a good fit if you’re picky about flavor and want your flower to shine through a minimal, neutral-tasting paper. If you’ve already got your favorite lighter, tray, and a small smoke shop kit, these slide right into the rotation.

How to Use It

Using Zig Zag Original Whites is straightforward: load, shape, roll, seal. The paper has a natural curve and just enough structure so it holds its form while you work, which helps if you’re still dialing in your technique.

Lay your herbs in a line, form your cylinder with your thumbs, and let the paper’s flexibility do some of the work. Once you’re happy with the shape, run the gum line along your lips to activate the natural gum Arabic, tuck, and seal. A small, even pack is your friend with this size — you’ll get a smoother, more even burn.

If you like to roll at a desk or coffee table, pair your papers with a nonstick dab mat or tray so crumbs and shake stay in one place instead of all over the couch.

Fit & Rolling Style

At 70mm x 38mm, these are standard single-wide papers, so they play well with most small rolling machines and typical cigarette-sized crutches or tips. If you’re used to king size or 1 1/4 papers, these will feel shorter and more compact, which a lot of people prefer for solo smoke breaks.

Because they’re made with flax plant fibers, they fall into that sweet spot between ultra-thin and too-thick — they’re still easy for beginners to handle without feeling like tissue paper. If you like to pre-roll a few for later, stash them in a small tin or one of our storage and packaging options so they don’t get crushed in a pocket or bag.

Care & Storage Tips

Rolling papers don’t need heavy maintenance, but they do appreciate a little respect. Keep the booklets dry and away from direct moisture so the gum doesn’t activate early. Don’t leave them sitting in a hot car or super humid bathroom if you can avoid it.

If you’re rolling around concentrates or sticky flower, consider keeping your papers and herbs separated from any oils or waxes. A small glass container from our concentrate jars line works perfectly if you’re bringing dabs along for the ride and don’t want to gunk up your papers.

FAQ

  • Do Zig Zag Original White Papers change the flavor of my flower?

    They’re designed to stay out of the way flavor-wise. The flax paper and natural gum Arabic burn clean and light, so what you mostly taste is your flower, not the paper.

  • Are these single-wide or 1 1/4 size?

    These are single-wide papers, measuring 70mm x 38mm. If you’re used to 1 1/4 or king size, expect a shorter, more compact roll that’s great for personal smokes.

  • Will these work with my rolling machine?

    Yes, most standard single-wide rolling machines are made for 70mm papers, so Zig Zag Original Whites should fit right in. If you’re running a more elaborate setup with cones or other gear, check out our broader smoking accessories to round out your kit.

  • How many papers come in a full carton?

    Each booklet has 32 papers, and there are 24 booklets in a carton. That’s 768 papers total — enough to keep daily rollers and small shops stocked for a good while.

  • What are these papers actually made from?

    Zig Zag Original White Papers use natural flax plant fibers for the paper and 100% natural Gum Arabic (from the African acacia tree) for the glue line. No extra flavors or weird additives layered on top.

  • Do these burn fast or slow?

    They’re tuned for a steady, even burn. If you pack your roll evenly and don’t overload one side, they’re less likely to canoe, and they won’t torch too fast. For sessions where you’re mixing flower and a little rosin, pair them with proper rosin extraction tools so your material is consistent and not overly wet.

  • How should I store extra booklets?

    Keep them dry, cool, and out of direct sunlight. A drawer, stash box, or even a resealable bag works fine. If you’re also stocking up on other paper types like parchment or PTFE, our parchment papers collection has options made to live alongside your rolling supplies.
