Best For
Daily smokers who roll their own and want reliable papers that don't overthink it. Perfect for people who've been rolling for years and know what works, or beginners who want to learn on something forgiving. These are also solid for shops and groups buying in bulk—24 booklets means you're not restocking every week.
How to Use It
Pull a paper from the booklet, gum strip facing up. Load your ground flower along the crease, distribute it evenly, then roll the paper between your thumbs and forefingers to shape the cylinder. Tuck the non-gum edge under the material, roll it tight, then lick the gum strip and seal. The natural gum arabic activates with moisture and holds without needing extra pressure or multiple licks.
The 70mm length gives you room to work—long enough for a decent-sized roll but not so long that you're wasting paper. If you're new to rolling, these papers are forgiving. The natural flax fibers have just enough texture to grip the flower without tearing when you're tucking and rolling. Once sealed, let it sit for a few seconds so the gum fully sets before lighting.
For the cleanest burn, pack evenly from filter to tip. Uneven packing causes runs and wasted flower. If you're using a grinder, aim for a medium grind—too fine and it'll pull through, too coarse and it won't burn evenly.

Why Natural Gum Arabic Matters
Cheaper papers use synthetic glues that taste like chemicals when you light up. Zig Zag uses gum arabic—a natural tree sap that's been used in rolling papers for over a century. It seals consistently without adding flavor, and it doesn't leave residue or make the paper stiff. When you lick the strip, the gum activates just enough to hold without needing multiple passes or soaking the paper.
The flax plant fibers burn clean and slow. Unlike wood pulp papers that can taste harsh or burn too fast, flax gives you a steady, even burn that doesn't overpower your flower. These aren't the thinnest papers on the market, but that's intentional—the slightly thicker build makes them easier to handle and less likely to tear mid-roll.
Storage Tips
Keep unused booklets in a cool, dry spot. Humidity can make the papers stick together or cause the gum to activate prematurely. If you're in a humid climate, consider storing the carton in an airtight container or with a humidity pack. Don't leave booklets in hot cars or direct sunlight—heat can dry out the gum and make sealing inconsistent.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between white and brown Zig Zag papers?
White papers are bleached for a cleaner look and slightly smoother burn. Brown (natural) papers are unbleached and have a bit more texture. Both use the same natural flax fibers and gum arabic, so it's mostly preference. White papers tend to be a hair thinner and burn a touch slower.
How many papers do I get in a carton?
768 papers total. Each carton has 24 booklets, and each booklet has 32 papers. If you roll one or two a day, a carton will last you months.
Are these papers slow-burning?
Yes. The natural flax fibers burn slower than wood pulp papers, so you're not racing through your roll. Pack evenly and you'll get a consistent burn from start to finish.
Can I use these with a rolling machine?
Absolutely. The 70mm length is standard for most hand-crank and electric rolling machines. Just load the paper gum-side up, add your flower, and crank.
Do these papers have a taste?
Barely. The natural gum arabic and flax fibers are designed to be neutral. You'll taste your flower, not the paper. If you're coming from flavored or heavily processed papers, the difference is noticeable.
What's the shelf life of these papers?
Years if stored properly. Keep them dry and out of direct sunlight. The gum can lose effectiveness if exposed to too much humidity or heat, but under normal storage conditions, these will stay fresh for a long time.
Are Zig Zag papers vegan?
Yes. The gum arabic is plant-derived (from acacia tree sap), and the papers are made from flax fibers. No animal products involved.
