Quick Guide: Finding Your Perfect Roll
Choosing the right Zig-Zag doesn’t have to be complicated. Think of it as a two-step process: first, pick the size that fits the occasion, then decide on the experience you’re after. Here’s the shortcut to finding your perfect roll:
Choose Size (The Occasion)
Single Wide (70mm) – The Solo Smoker
This is the everyday classic. Single Wides are perfect when you’re rolling for yourself—efficient, discreet, and timeless. If you’re all about quick, personal sessions, this size is your go-to.
1 1/4 (78mm) – The All-Rounder
The most popular size in the Zig-Zag family. About 25% larger than a Single Wide, the 1 1/4 is versatile enough for a long solo smoke or for sharing with a friend. It’s the “sweet spot” that works almost anywhere, anytime.
King Size (110mm) – The Party Starter
Rolling for a group? This is the size you need. King Slims give you space for more flower, more burn time, and more sharing. Whether it’s a party or a long, luxurious session, this one’s made to pass around.
Choose Paper Type (The Vibe)
Classic White, Orange, Blue & Green – The Traditionalist
You like consistency and heritage. These are the papers that made Zig-Zag famous: reliable, even-burning, and iconic. No surprises, just a smooth, quality smoke every time.
Ultra Thin - The Flavor Chaser
You want to taste your herb, not the paper. Ultra Thins are designed to let your flower shine with minimal aftertaste. Perfect for smokers who value purity and terpene flavor.
Unbleached & Hemp - The Naturalist
You prefer a more natural touch. These papers are unrefined, earth-friendly, and add a subtle, organic feel to your roll. Ideal for anyone who wants a less-processed experience.
Zig-Zag Rolling Paper Lineup: A Deep Dive
Now that you know what size and experience you’re looking for, here’s the ultimate reference guide to every Zig-Zag paper. Each option has its own history, personality, and best use case. Think of this as your one-stop breakdown for finding the roll that matches your vibe.
French Orange: The Icon
Timeless. Classic. Legendary. The orange pack is where it all began—the world’s most iconic rolling paper. Made from a blend of wood pulp and flax, it delivers the smooth, slow burn that made Zig-Zag a household name. If you want to roll with tradition, this is the gold standard.

White Papers: The Reliable Classic
Clean. Crisp. No-fuss. If the Orange pack is the icon, the White line is the everyday hero. Made from wood pulp and flax, these papers are slightly thinner but equally dependable. The standout here is the Single Wide White Kutcorners, designed with trimmed edges that make starting your roll easier than ever.
