First things first: It’s essential to understand the difference between cannabis blunt wraps and pre-roll papers. Pre-roll papers come in various sizes, but they’re smaller than blunt wraps and often don’t include additives or tobacco. Blunt wraps offer consumers a smoother, more luxurious, and longer-lasting smoking experience than their pre-roll counterparts. But they traditionally include tobacco, which might not appeal to every consumer. At Botani, we create exceptional custom hemp blunt wraps so brands can give consumers the delightful experience that only natural wraps can offer. Start with Botani’s groundbreaking hemp-based blunt wrap alternative, and set yourself up to compete for a share of this growing corner of the cannabis marketplace.

So who are the traditional blunt wrap consumers you’re trying to reach?

Historically, these consumers purchase packs of tobacco leaf blunt wraps from convenience or grocery stores, and their blunt wrap preferences vary. Some enjoy the experience of sharing a large blunt. Others appreciate how flavored blunt wraps enhance taste. There are, of course, consumers who want to avoid nicotine and stay close to the cannabis experience. That’s where you come in. According to one report, the global blunt wrap market is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 13.8% during the forecast period from 2021-2030, meaning that opportunities to differentiate yourself from traditional blunt wrap producers are on the rise. By offering a hemp blunt wrap alternative, you can appeal to consumers who are looking to elevate their blunt smoking experience with a natural high-quality product.

Cannabis 2025: Our Predictions for the New Year

Cannabis continues to grow at a remarkable pace, with market projections showing U.S. cannabis sales reaching $58 billion by 2030. As we settle into the new year, we’re looking ahead to trends and opportunities that will impact the cannabis industry in 2025 and beyond. Here are our Cannabis 2025 predictions:

Premiumization Will Become More Popular

Quality is driving the marketplace. Cannabis consumers aren’t looking for everyday materials — they’re demanding the best of everything. As papermaking pioneers, we’re seeing sophisticated consumers increasingly gravitate toward premium natural materials, from organic hemp to specialty botanicals. Look for this trend to accelerate in 2025 as seek out premium products that enhance their experience and reflect their values.

Regulatory Changes Will Shape New Opportunities

Federal change looms on the horizon. President Trump has expressed support for rescheduling cannabis from a Schedule 1 to Schedule III and expanding banking access for the industry. The potential rescheduling could open doors for expanded research into cannabis’s therapeutic potential and spark innovation across every sector of the industry. Additionally, proposed FDA regulations on tobacco products, particularly the rule to cap nicotine levels at 0.7 milligrams per gram, could create interesting opportunities for hemp-tobacco blends and nicotine-free alternatives.

International Expansion Will Gain Momentum

As part of SWM International’s global network, we see firsthand that global markets are opening up to cannabis. European nations like Germany, Italy, and Portugal are leading the charge, creating opportunities for cross-border collaboration and knowledge sharing. This worldwide acceptance will foster an increasingly interconnected cannabis ecosystem.

Expect More Eco-Friendly Solutions

Sustainability continues to be in high demand among consumers and brands. They want products that minimize ecological impact without compromising quality. Companies embracing sustainable practices will gain significant competitive advantages in 2025. At Botani, we’re continually developing innovative ways to incorporate natural and organic materials into our products.

Collaboration powers growth. We expect to see a surge in partnerships between established manufacturers and consumer brands, creating opportunities for distinctive premium products that elevate the consumer experience. Our centuries of expertise in papermaking and botanical processing position us to partner with brands seeking to create unique, premium smoking accessories.

Our advanced paper manufacturing processes allow us to help brands create distinctive products that reflect their unique identity.
