French Heritage Meets American Innovation
Custom Cones USA bridges centuries of European paper-making expertise with the demands of today's North American market. Their partnership with a historic French mill ensures every cone delivers the ultra-thin consistency and slow, even burn that defines premium pre-rolls.
Three Paper Profiles for Every Brand Identity
Custom Cones USA recognizes that your paper choice communicates brand values before the first draw. Their three distinct paper options let you align product quality with customer expectations and brand positioning.
-
Refined White Paper: Delivers a neutral, clean aesthetic perfect for brands emphasizing purity and precision. The
98mm refined white cones offer the classic look that appeals to traditional consumers while maintaining modern quality standards.
-
Unrefined Brown Paper: Projects an authentic, earth-conscious brand identity without compromising burn quality. The natural fiber appearance signals sustainability and craft-focused production to environmentally aware customers.
-
100% Organic Hemp Paper: Satisfies the growing demand for fully plant-based products. The
organic hemp options deliver the same ultra-thin performance while supporting "seed-to-smoke" sustainability messaging that resonates with premium market segments.
Sizing Your Production from Startup to Scale
Custom Cones USA structures their product line to support businesses at every growth stage, from artisan operations to commercial facilities producing thousands of units daily.
-
Small-Batch Production (84mm): The
84mm format in 900-count boxes suits limited releases, seasonal offerings, or testing new strain profiles with minimal inventory commitment. This size accommodates approximately 0.5-0.75g fills, ideal for personal consumption formats.
-
Standard Production (98mm): The most versatile format, available in both
standard and
reefer configurations, balances consumer preference with production efficiency. This size works seamlessly with most
automated cone filling systems.
-
Commercial Production (109mm): King size
109mm cones meet the premium segment's demand for fuller experiences while maintaining the rapid fill rates commercial operations require. Compatible with high-volume machines like the
Futurola Knockbox and
STM Canna RocketBox systems.
Optimizing Your Pre-Roll Workflow
Custom Cones USA products integrate into complete production systems that maximize consistency and minimize labor costs.
-
Achieve Uniform Consistency: Pair these cones with industrial grinders like the
Custom Cones Industrial Grinder or
Futurola Super Mega Shredder to ensure particle size matches paper porosity for optimal airflow and burn rates.
-
Scale Filling Operations: Custom Cones USA dimensions align with industry-standard filling equipment, eliminating compatibility issues that slow production. Their consistent cone geometry ensures reliable loading in both semi-automated and fully automated systems.
-
Maintain Quality Control: The ultra-thin paper reveals filling inconsistencies that thicker papers conceal, helping your team identify and correct process issues before products reach consumers. This transparency supports continuous improvement in your production workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Custom Cones USA paper different from other pre-rolled cone brands?
Custom Cones USA sources their paper from one of France's oldest paper mills, ensuring ultra-thin consistency and a clean burn profile that distinguishes premium products. The French manufacturing heritage delivers tighter quality control than mass-produced alternatives, resulting in more uniform cone geometry and predictable filling performance across production runs.
How do I choose between refined white, unrefined brown, and organic hemp paper?
Your paper choice should align with brand positioning and target demographics. Refined white appeals to customers prioritizing a traditional, clean aesthetic. Unrefined brown communicates environmental consciousness and artisan quality. Organic hemp satisfies the premium segment seeking fully plant-based products with sustainability credentials. All three options deliver comparable burn quality and production compatibility.
Which cone size works best for commercial pre-roll production?
The 98mm format balances consumer preference with production efficiency, making it the industry standard for commercial operations. This size accommodates 0.75-1g fills, works with most automated filling systems, and meets the price-to-value expectations of the mass market. King size 109mm cones target the premium segment, while 84mm formats suit specialty or limited-release products.
Are Custom Cones USA products compatible with automated cone filling machines?
Yes, Custom Cones USA manufactures to industry-standard dimensions that work with popular filling systems including the Futurola Knockbox series and STM Canna RocketBox machines. Their consistent cone geometry ensures reliable loading and reduces jamming incidents that interrupt production flow. Always verify cone diameter and length specifications match your specific machine's requirements before bulk ordering.
What's the difference between standard 98mm and reefer 98mm cones?
The primary distinction lies in filter tip diameter and overall taper profile, which affects the fill capacity and draw resistance. Reefer configurations typically accommodate slightly different product weights while maintaining the same overall length. Both formats work with standard filling equipment, though some machines may require minor adjustments when switching between configurations.
How should I store unused Custom Cones USA pre-rolled cones?
Store cones in their original packaging in a climate-controlled environment between 60-75°F with relative humidity between 40-60%. Excessive moisture causes paper expansion and gum line failure, while overly dry conditions make paper brittle and prone to tearing during filling. Keep cones away from direct sunlight and strong odors that the ultra-thin paper may absorb.
Can I use Custom Cones USA paper for hand-filled pre-rolls?
Yes, the pre-rolled cone format works well for manual filling operations, particularly for small-batch production or quality control testing. The ultra-thin paper requires gentle handling to avoid tears, but the pre-formed cone eliminates the rolling skill barrier. For production beyond 100 units daily, consider semi-automated tools like cone packing devices to maintain consistency and reduce repetitive strain injuries.
Do Custom Cones USA products meet regulatory requirements for licensed cannabis operations?
Custom Cones USA paper contains no additives, flavoring agents, or chemical processing residues that would trigger compliance issues in regulated markets. However, specific licensing requirements vary by jurisdiction regarding packaging, labeling, and child-resistant features. Verify that your complete pre-roll assembly—including any custom printing or tip modifications—meets your state or provincial regulations before commercial sale.
