Like many clients, Moon cares
about the environment.

high speed and efficiency, but
also it prevents certain
hygiene issues created by
hand packing.

that is so common with other
flavored rolling papers.

essence in flavored papers
which creates long-lasting
flavors. 14g papers make it

15 Machine-made
VS Hand-made
How fast can you deliver? This
is one of the most frequent
questions we get from clients.
We want to show to you some
numbers, one machine can
produce 200+ booklets per
minute, however, one person
can only produce 2 every
minute.
Moon has 5 production lines
running so, our production
capability of 1000 booklets per
minute.
Delivery on time is never a
problem.
16 Humidity and
Rolling Paper
Being an expert in this industry,
Moon understands how paper
interacts with its environment,
which is critical to ensuring its
appearance and performance.
Paper is vulnerable to temperature
and humidity changes. Paper
collects and releases moisture,
which may affect its flatness,
dimensions, strength, performance,
conductivity, and fold.
Dry Conditions on production can
cause paper fibers to lose
moisture and curl, shrink, and lose
dimensional stability quickly.
High relative humidity may
increase the "water activity" and
the growth of mold and bacteria in
process lines and the products.
The rolling papers will have the
best performance only when it
neither absorbs nor loses moisture
in an environment while being
manufactured.
Moon factories have good humidity
and temperature control system
to keep the environment in a
paper friendly status to ensure the
best smoking experience.

18 Packaging Matters
Think about your most recent
shopping. Why did you purchase
that specific brand? Was it an
impulse buy, or something you
genuinely needed?
The rolling paper with your brand
is picked by a consumer from a
shelf among more than 10 brands,
maybe just because of its unique
design.
Packaging, when done correctly
and creatively, is ultimately what
sells your product. It's more than
just putting your logo on a
package. It draws attention, sends
a message, and makes consumers
feel a certain way.
Moon will help you achieve that.
Besides, all our packaging material
is food-grade, which is safe for
end-users.
17 Fire Control
Before you decide to work with
a rolling paper manufacturer,
ask them if they have a fire
control system in their factory.
You won’t want to lose your
order because of a fire, you
don’t want to miss the high
selling season such as Christmas
or Black Friday because of a
fire.
In all the Moon’s factories and
warehouses, there are fire
protection systems. A monthly
inspection is conducted, as
well as a yearly audit.
Moon make sure that your
rolling papers stocked with
them are well protected.

19 Golden Leaf Award
The Moon Group won a Golden
Leaf Award in 2016, from
Tobacco Reporter, the leading
trade journal around the world
since 1873.
“The company is now the
biggest manufacturer of RYO
papers in China. While
production capacity is
important, the Moon Group’s
primary focus is on quality and
sustainability, as evidenced by
its factories’ ISO 9001 and FSC
A000525 certifications.
Committed to product quality
and customer service, the
Moon Group strives for
win-win partnerships with its
clients for the long term.”
20 Food Grade
While you dealing with a
rolling paper manufacturer,
have you asked them if all the
papers and printing ink that
used for packaging are food
grade?
Whether the essence they use
for the flavored paper is food
grade?
Those facts really matter.

The Different Types
of Rolling Paper
A n excellent rolling paper improves the
quality of the smoking experience, and
there are several types of rolling papers
available to meet every smoker’s needs.
There is a choice of wood, rice, hemp, or
other fibers based rolling paper.
Factors that determine the users’ choice
include taste, smoking speed, rolling skills,
burn rate, etc.
Classic Paper Pulp:
Wood pulp rolling papers, commonly
known as Paper pulp, are the most popular
types of rolling papers. They have been
around for more than a century and are the
staple for traditional smokers. This rolling
paper is made from wood or paper pulp,
and it is credited to having the most stable
burn rate.
Rice Paper:
The rice rolling papers are made from
processed and pressed rice. This rolling
paper is smooth, thin, and can be unusually
slippery. This one is for the PROS and is an
excellent option if you roll your own smoke.
The rice roll paper is considered a healthy
choice. It burns slow and doesn’t leave an
external aftertaste. Some variants are a
perfect blend with Flax, and they produce
an even more desirable experience for the
average smoker.
However, it can be pretty vulnerable in
certain conditions, particularly damp
environment. Because the rolling paper is
light and thin, it can get wet or even
soggy quickly in a wet climate.
Flax:
Like rice-based rolling paper with a
slightly added thickness, the Flax roll
paper is considered an excellent
alternative to rice papers with analog
characteristics.
It has the same fresh feel, slow burn
rate, healthy, and doesn’t leave an
aftertaste.

19. Rolling Paper Factory Stories 16
chlorine or calcium carbonate, and other
additives that can be harmful to health.
The good news, however, is that many of
these rolling papers from reputable brands
are now being made without chemical
treatments or materials that improve
combustion, reducing the possible harm
and aftertaste of your smoke.
Hemp Rolling Paper:
The hemp rolling paper is arguably the
most innovative expression of rolling papers
in the last decade. Made from hemp fiber,
the rolling paper is adjudged the best in
class for conservation. The color is light
brown as bleaching is strongly discouraged
by most cannabis users; the papers are
thicker and rougher and provide a good
grip when rolling. Hemp rolling paper has
an average burn rate and goes out less often
than rice papers. Joints made with hemp
papers might take on a delicate aftertaste
that won’t spoil the aroma of the burning
herb they wrap.
Novelty Papers:
You would find these papers in various crazy
colors, flavors, or even transparent ones
without added flavor made from cellulose.
They are beautiful to look at and experiment
with, but you should only use them sparingly
to reduce the number of dangerous
substances you inhale.
White/Brown Flavored
Rolling paper:
These types of rolling papers are cool.
They give off an aromatic fragrance
when they burn, are slow to burn, and
are the favorite of many people.
They are often classified as the
unnatural grades of rolling papers as
they contain chemicals that slow
down the burn rate, stabilize the
paper itself, its smoke, and its ash. The
white rolling papers do contain

your brand would help you determine
some other aspects of your branding
campaign.
Note; there are different types of rolling
papers, and some are more acceptable
to specific demographics. For instance,
health-conscious users and marijuana
enthusiasts would often prefer hemp
paper.
It would be best if you looked at the class
of individuals you hope to attract and
decide on the type of paper to market.
You also shouldn’t be limited to just one
type of rolling paper, as this would help
you appeal to a broad sense of individuals.

Cannabis: The Difference Between
Hemp and Marijuana
C
annabis is a common name
for members of the
cannabaceae family. This
large family consists of about 170
species – including hemp and
marijuana. Cannabis is grouped
into three major subfamilies,
including Cannabis Indica,
Cannabis Sativa, and Cannabis
Ruderalis.
So, although the hemp and
marijuana plants have their
differences, they are both cannabis.
Let’s quickly discuss, a little
in-depth, four primary differences
between Marijuana and Hemp
Plants
Differences Between Marijuana
and Hemp
Hemp and marijuana are similar.
From looks, knowing their differences
can be almost impossible.
But with the differences in
application and benefits, as well
as legal regulations, you sure want
to clear out your confusion.
Composition
One key distinguishing factor
between marijuana and hemp is
the different composition.
Both marijuana and hemp contain
CBD and THC. However, while
hemp is CBD-dominant, marijuana
contains more THC.
While THC content may reach 30
percent in marijuana, it does not
exceed 0.3 percent, by dry weight,
in legal hemp.
Here are the key differences
between hemp and
marijuana you should know.

23. Rolling Paper Factory Stories 20
Legality
With different THC levels, marijuana
and THC have their individual
regulations.
Hemp, which was once regarded
illegal and placed under the
Controlled Substance Act of 1970, is
now legal under the 2018 Farm Bill.
The bill legalizes hemp and its
products with THC levels not
exceeding .3 percent.
While some state laws allow
marijuana for recreational and/or
medical purposes, it remains
federally illegal.
Cultivation
Marijuana and hemp are grown for
different reasons; hence they are
grown under unique conditions.
Marijuana plants are carefully bred
under controlled circumstances to
boost the plant’s components and
produce female plants with
flowers.
For best practice, factors include
lighting, temperature, and
humidity must be well regulated.
Also, marijuana demands close
attention at every stage.
Hemp, on the other end, is grown
primarily to maximize quantity –
yield and size. For this, hemp
plants are preferably grown
outdoors and do not necessarily
need all the regulations, and
attention marijuana seeks.
Application
Due to their unique compositions,
both plants have their unique uses.
While marijuana is widely known
for its recreational uses, research
reveals several potential therapeutic
applications.
However, hemp may have more
widespread applications than
marijuana. Among the lot, here are
common areas hemp can be used:
Food productions, including
cooking oil, hemp-seed oil, and
related products
Industrial purposes – or
products such as textile, building
materials, paper and plastic
Medicals – CBD-infused
tinctures, topicals, and capsules
are increasingly popular for
therapeutic applications.
