How to Design a Custom Branded Pre-Roll Filter Tip

Custom pre-rolled cones are a great way for you to enhance your branding – after all, as soon as your customer takes their joint out of your beautiful packaging the branding is lost unless you’ve got custom pre-rolled cones. Branded tips are a great way to ensure your brand remains visible on social media and life-style photos compared to plain pre-rolled cones.

When it comes to designing a pre-rolled cone, there are two major variables you need to consider before you start designing: the rolling paper and filter size. Different rolling papers have different transparencies, which effects how visible your logo will be on the pre-rolled cone.

Custom Pre-Roll Paper Types

White paper types typically have the best transparencies compared to “unbleached” or natural brown papers, as well as hemp or flax. This is due to the refinement process, which removes additional plant proteins known as “lignans,” to help create the pure, white look.

When it comes to brown rolling papers, most are still made with wood pulp, such as our natural brown papers, which are sourced from the same top-quality paper mills, but refined less to leave more of those lignans in the paper, giving them a slightly darker color, though they are still transparent enough to see custom filter tips.

We also offer 100% Organic Hemp paper, which is made from European-sourced hemp instead of wood pulp, but made and refined in a similar way. The hemp fibers, however, create a cloudier final product that while still see-through, is certainly not as transparent as our refined white rolling paper.

So while all three paper choices allow your custom filter tips to shine through, refined white will provide the clearest look at your branding or message.

Custom Pre-Roll Filter Type

Now that you’ve decided on a paper type, the next thing to consider is the filter size you want to use. Our standard filter size is 26mm, which is the industry standard, but some customers want a special short or long filter.

The standard 26mm pre-rolled crutch has plenty of area for branding, but shorter filters may work better for mini pre rolls and large filter tips can have a variety of unique uses. Custom Cones USA can customize the filter tip to your liking, whatever size it is.

For producers looking to go beyond the traditional paper “w” filter tip, Custom COnes USA offers a variety of different shapes and sizes, including paper, wood, glass and premium ceramic filter tips, all of which can be customized with direct printing, filter wraps or custom cigar bands featuring your brand logo or message.

Bulk Custom Filter Tips

Custom Cones USA also offers custom filter tips for producers using automated joint rolling machines, like the RollPros Blackbird™. Whether a classic “w” to our distinctive paper spiral, we can customize your bulk filter tips with your message and logo, no matter what diameter filter tip you need.

Customize each strain in your line so your customers always know what they’re getting. Or choose your color or print your logo directly onto your filter tip before you load it into your automated joint rolling machine. Our Design team is here to help bring your vision to life.

You can get as creative as you want with your custom branded pre rolled cones! We only use the finest, food-grade inks and 4-color printing is always included free on all custom orders. There are three main styles of branding we’ve seen on custom branded pre-rolled cone.

The most popular style of pre roll branding is of course the classic logo/work mark. You can’t go wrong by keeping it simple and clean. If you have both a logo icon and a word mark, it is very popular to have your icon on one side and your word mark on the other side. If your word mark and logo is one design, companies typically just print it on both sides of the crutch, so it’s always visible.

You then need to take it a step further and think about where you want to place your logo. The two most popular positions are on the top of the filter tip or right in the middle. If your logo is large and long, placing it in the middle is usually the best. If you have a small, more square logo, positioning it at the top could look really nice.

Custom Pre-Roll Multi-Packs

Another popular and creative way you can brand your pre-rolls is by creating multi-strain packs. For example, take an indica, sativa, and hybrid and combine them into a special variety pack of pre-rolls. Custom brand each tip with your logo, a unique color, and strain name. You can get really creative with this option! We’ve seen brands use “moods” or verbs to describe their pre-rolls, rather than the strain name.

The last major way you can brand your pre rolled cones is with pattern or image. Patterns are super dope looking on pre-rolls, because no matter which way the joint is being smoking or where the persons fingers are, you can always see the design. Using an image is also a super creative way to create a totally unique and eye-catching pre-roll.

At Custom Cones USA, you can even add an external wrapped sticker, instead of printing on the paper crutch. The custom external wrapping is a little more luxurious and really helps your branding pop. You can choose a glossy or matte finish and even add foil stamping! External branding is a must have for pre-rolled blunt cones.
