Your flower is the star, so why wrap it in something forgettable?
In a competitive market, where every detail helps define your identity, the paper you choose can truly set your brand apart. After all, it’s usually the first thing your customer sees, touches, and smells.
At Botani, we help brands create products that activate all the senses—from how it looks and feels to how it burns, from your customer’s first impression to their last exhale. Whether it’s the look of a custom filigree, the feel of a hemp-infused texture, or the natural aroma of a botanical wrap, our papers and wraps are designed to do more than just hold your flower.
Here’s how we help brands turn their paper into part of the product experience.
How Cannabis Packaging Design Should Activate All Five Senses:
The Look
First impressions matter. Color, tone, and even the subtle sheen of the paper all contribute to how your product is perceived. Some brands lean into natural, unbleached shades to signal purity. Others use bold colors to match their visual identity and personality. We also offer custom filigree, where your branding is embedded directly into the paper for a distinctive, premium look.
These decisions make a difference about how consumers connect with your product. When the wrap matches the message, it creates a feeling of consistency and intention. That’s what builds brand loyalty. People remember what looks and feels cohesive.

The Feel
Touch is underrated in cannabis branding. That’s why we spend time refining the tactile experience. Whether it’s the thickness of the sheet or specialty inclusions like hemp fibers, the physical sensation your customer gets while rolling and smoking is part of the product’s impact.
Lighter-weight paper offers a delicate, minimalist experience, which is ideal for those who want as little paper as possible between them and their flower. Heavier weights feel more substantial, closer to the experience of a cigar or blunt. We even offer options that mimic that texture, perfect for brands aiming for a more premium or rugged feel. And when you step into our botanical materials, you get an entirely different level of sensory feedback—denser, richer, and designed to complement the flower, not just carry it.
The Scent
Ok, this is where things get interesting. Traditional wood or hemp pulp papers don’t usually bring much to the table when it comes to aroma. But Botani’s botanical papers do. Made from real plant matter—like tea leaves—they naturally carry subtle, earthy scents that complement the flower instead of competing with it. It’s an extra layer your customer notices before they even light up.
The Flavor
Botanical wraps bring more depth to the flavor profile. Their thicker, more porous texture holds onto infused or natural flavors longer, allowing for a richer and more consistent taste throughout the session.
Unlike traditional papers, which tend to fade into the background, these wraps can enhance the terpene expression of the flower or carry subtle complementary notes. It’s an added layer of intention—one that gives consumers a more rounded, thoughtful experience and helps brands stand out for their attention to detail.
The Burn
While not a “sense” in the traditional sense, burn rate plays a big role in how a product is experienced. The weight and structure of the paper have a direct impact on how evenly and how long a product smokes. Lighter papers offer a quicker, cleaner burn that’s great for shorter sessions. Heavier weights slow things down, delivering a longer-lasting, more relaxed experience—more in line with a blunt or cigar.
Botani helps brands match their wrap to the moment they’re designing for, whether it’s a solo break or a social session. When the burn is right, the whole product feels more refined and intentional.
How We Can Help
When brands come to us, they usually have a basic idea of what they want. But part of what we offer is experienced guidance. We walk them through the full range of sensory variables—sight, touch, smell, burn—to help them build something distinctive.
Do you want your paper to complement your flower or add something entirely new to it? Do you want to mimic an existing experience or create your own lane? Whatever your answer, we’ll help you tell your brand’s story through every sensory detail.
Because when paper is more than paper, your brand becomes more than just another name on a shelf.
