Double Wide Rolling Papers for Massive Pre-Rolls

When the average cannabis consumer thinks about rolling papers, they usually picture a small booklet of refined white papers, often holding between 24 - 32 sheets of 1-¼ 84mm papers that fit around half a gram of flower and often come with paper filter tips for adding a crutch to a roll up.

The rolling papers tend to be thin, like really thin (at DaySavers, that equates to a thickness around 12gsm, or grams per square meter), and while most commonly found in refined white paper, natural brown and hemp paper options follow closely behind in popularity.

For those who often prefer larger joints and blunts for longer sessions, bigger papers like the 109mm King Size Slim become the standard, holding around 1-gram of flower when rolled up into a joint.

But when you get to the heady crowd – the Cheech & Chong type consumer – who love to go beyond the classic 1-¼ or even king size, rolling paper options beyond the standard choices become more enticing not only for their size and added capacity, but also the flexibility a wider paper can offer.

Double wide papers hold significantly more flower and offer a greater degree of flexibility when rolling, twice as much, in fact than a standard 1-¼ or king size paper and 144% more than a classic, "single-wide" rolling paper.

So let's dive a little deeper into these large form extra wide papers and explore what double-wide papers really are, what they're used for and why some folks prefer their papers wider than the norm.

Because at DaySavers, when we're not packin,' we're rollin.' And a joint rolled in standard width 1-¼ and king size slims don't always pack enough puffs for a large circle.

So without further ado, let's dive in.

What are Double-Wide Rolling Papers?

In general, the basic definition of a double wide rolling paper is that the papers are double the width of the standard 1 ¼ size half-gram and 190mm 1-gram king size slim sheets of paper that are most commonly around 44mm in width. So a "double-wide rolling paper" is 88mm in width.

Ironically, the single wide rolling paper, long ago the go-to size for its simplicity and use for personal pre-rolls, sits at around 35-40mm wide, so a "double wide" is actually more than twice the width of a single.

Look, no one said this was going to make sense.

The length of double wide rolling papers vary, aligning with the industry standard for today's most common papers, with the standard length double wide measuring between 78-84mm, and the king size double wide at around 109mm length for those longer double wide joints.

Why Use Double Wide Rolling Papers

Double wide rolling papers serve multiple purposes.

First, the extra width allows for an easier roll as there is just more paper to work with compared to single wide (36mm) or the 1-¼ 84mm and king size slim (44mm), which, which can make the tuck and seal harder to control. In comparison, double wide papers are a lot more forgiving, offer more to work with and in turn, more control over your pre-roll.

Secondly, and most importantly for those opting for double wide papers is the versatility and added capacity for more flower and bigger joints. While the average 84mm 1-¼ paper holds around a half-gram of flower for the average roll up (and more for joints rolled sans-filter), and around a full-gram for king size slim 109mm papers, the extra 35% in width allows for much more flower, far more than the small-width single wide.

Standard double wide (78mm x 88mm) sheets can hold around 1- to 1.5-grams and up to 2-grams depending on the flower, use of a filter, tightness of your roll, and of course, the artist producing the joint. And let's be real; if you're using double-wides, you're looking to roll up a jumbo joint. They can essentially double the amount of flower that the standard 1-¼ can hold, which for some is aggressive, but becomes the norm for many.

And when it comes to king size double wide "extra-jumbo" rolling papers, the capacity can range from a massive 1.5- to 2-gram joint, all the way up to 3- to 4-gram baseball bat joints or more! And while these wide papers are common nowadays, they aren't always available in every retail environment, so what is one to do when big joints call and double-wides are nowhere to be found?

Making Your Own Double Wide Papers

If you're working with standard width rolling papers with gumlines, you always have the ability to add extra width by attaching two sheets together simply by wetting the glue of one sheet and glueing it to the un-gummed edge of another sheet. This gives the user extra width with minimal paper overlap that can make the joint paper-heavy, affecting the quality of the smoke with how much paper is being burned.

This method can work with any size paper, creating a "double wide" of whatever size you start with. So whether you create a literal double wide with two single wide sheets, you can always beef up your roll with homemade "double-wide" 1-¼ or king size slim using the same strategy.

How Much Flower Can Double Wide Papers Hold Compared to Other Paper Sizes?

What Makes Jumbo Double Wide Rolling Papers So Versatile?

We spoke earlier about versatility around extra wide papers, which can shed more light on how double wide king size roll ups can scale all the way up to 4+ gram joints and pre-rolls – holy smokes!

But they're great for going beyond just flower. For example, have you ever heard of a hash hole? They're a type of infused pre-roll where a log of hash rosin or similar concentrate is placed in the middle of your flower that vaporizes as you smoke, leaving a donut hole down the middle of your pre-roll. When rolled properly, you'll have a larger than normal joint with a tube of concentrate running down the center of your joint, offering a unique experience, a beautiful burn and amplified effects due to the luscious addition of high potency concentrate.

These infused pre-rolls are MASSIVE in popularity these days, and while they can be purchased pre-rolled and ready to smoke at your local dispensary, the rolling of hash holes has become commonplace for the heady folks that either go big or go home. And with the addition of this concentrate comes added weight in your roll-up, substituting light fluffy bud that would occupy that space with a dense and heavier substance, so not only are you pulling from a big ol' joint, you're hitting more cannabis with higher levels of THC delivered.

Double wide papers – also known as extra wide or XXL papers - also offer the opportunity to incorporate large filter tips into your roll ups. The ever popular 11mm glass filter tip, like the radically cool DaySavers Fusilli tips, adds weight and a luxurious mouthfeel while also cooling the smoke, blocking scooby snacks and allowing the consumer to taste more of the flower (and concentrate when incorporated) that is being smoked.

Double wide papers also make rolling large cone joints and pre-rolled cones easier as the extra width means the top end of your roll can fully wrap around the wider diameter of the cones top, where normal 1-¼ and king size slim papers can lack the necessary width to create a fully enclosed cone all the way through to the top of your joint, sacrificing volume and length.

Final Thoughts on Jumbo Double Wide Rolling Papers

They offer users the ability to roll bigger joints, incorporate large filter tips – whether that be a standard paper crutch or a premium option like an 11mm glass or ceramic tip – and experiment with different formats of pre-rolls like the popular infused hash hole joint.

There are two common double wide sizes to choose from as it pertains to length, with the larger sitting around the classic 109mm king size and king size slim, while the standard aligns with the classic 84mm 1-¼ rolling paper sheet at around ~80mm.
