In the fast-moving world of pre-rolls, having a RollPros Blackbird puts you ahead of the game. But here’s the catch — no matter how good your machine is, it’s only as good as the materials you feed it. Whether you’re shopping for rolling paper bobbins, custom filter tips, or high-end glass tips, quality matters more than you might think.
Let’s break it down.
Before you start bulk ordering supplies, it’s worth spending a moment appreciating what the Blackbird does best: speed, consistency, and precision. But it’s picky — and that’s a good thing.
Here’s what it needs to perform at its best:
- RollPros Blackbird Compatible Rolling Paper Bobbins: Big rolls of paper that feed seamlessly into the machine.
- RollPros Blackbird Compatible Filter Tips: Paper or glass — inserted automatically while rolling.
- Tight Material Tolerances: If the sizing or tension is off, expect jams, bad burns, and a whole lot of wasted product.
Takeaway: Don’t cut corners. Get materials built for the RollPros Blackbird, not just "good enough."
Rolling paper bobbins are basically giant paper rolls designed for high-speed pre-roll production. Instead of feeding sheets, the machine cuts cones directly from the roll.
Key things to look for:
Paper Quality
- Choose hemp, rice, wood pulp, or flax — with organic hemp being a top choice for clean smoking.
- You want papers thin enough for smooth rolling, but durable enough not to tear under machine stress.
- Slow-burn papers always make for a better customer experience.
Dimensions That Fit
- Width should hit the RollPros Blackbird’s sweet spot (usually 40–60mm).
- Core diameter? Stick with the standard 3-inch.
- Longer rolls = fewer reloads = more efficient runs.
Treatments and Features
- Natural acacia gum gives the best seals.
- Watermarking is optional but helps with even burns — and gives your brand an upscale touch.
Customizations
- Add logos, fun prints, or even flavors like terpene-infused paper.
Compliance Check
- Always make sure your papers pass health and safety checks. No shortcuts here.
Filter tips — or crutches — are what make a pre-roll feel finished and premium. They help structure the pre-roll and keep the good stuff where it belongs.
If you're choosing paper tips:
- Length: Most fall between 26mm and 30mm.
- Width: Match your paper and machine (6mm to 8mm usually works).
- Fold Style: W-style, M-style, or spiraled — just make sure it’s RollPros Blackbird-friendly.
Material-wise:
- Go with unbleached, food-safe paper stock.
- You want something sturdy but still easy to roll.
Want to level up with glass tips?
- Match the exact diameters the machine needs.
- Look for smooth edges to avoid tearing the paper.
- Branding options like laser engraving or colored glass are perfect for premium product lines.
Not every supplier understands the needs of high-speed machines like the RollPros Blackbird. When shopping around, ask yourself:
- Do they specialize in materials for the RollPros Blackbird?
- Can they show proof of quality (testing, certifications)?
- Do they offer custom options for branding?
- Can they handle large volume orders — reliably?
Pro Tip: Always request samples before placing big orders. It's the best way to avoid unnecessary extra cost.
Before you go all-in:
- Run small batches with sample bobbins and tips.
- Watch the machine — smooth feeding and no jams is what you want.
- Inspect the cones — even burns, no rips, tight seals.
- Get feedback from trusted customers if possible.
Small test runs now = saving thousands later.
Buying high-end materials costs more upfront — but it pays off.
- Customers notice quality.
- Premium cones justify premium pricing.
- And customized touches (like flavored tips or branding) strengthen loyalty.
- Start modest, even if you're confident.
- Build a little extra inventory buffer.
- Always plan ahead — delays cost money.
Choosing the right rolling paper bobbins, custom filter tips, and glass tips isn’t just about running your RollPros Blackbird at full speed. It’s about building a brand that people trust and love.
The difference between an average pre-roll and a premium one? It's in the details — the paper, the tip, the burn, the feel.
Get it right, and your customers will notice.
