# 5 Design Tips for Eye-Catching Custom Rolling Papers
Creating custom rolling papers is a unique design challenge. The small format and the fact that your design will be held, examined, and used creates special considerations. Here are our top tips for creating papers that truly represent your brand.
1. Keep It Simple
Rolling paper booklets are small, typically around 110mm x 45mm. This limited space means simplicity is key.
Do: - Focus on your logo or one key design element - Use clean, readable fonts - Leave adequate white space
Don't: - Overcrowd with too many elements - Use tiny text that's hard to read - Include complex patterns that won't print well at small sizes
2. Consider the Colour Palette
Your colour choices impact both aesthetics and print quality.
Tips: - High contrast between background and logo ensures visibility - Dark colours show fingerprints less - Metallic inks and special finishes can add premium feel - Remember: CMYK colours may look different from screen (RGB)
Popular combinations: - Black and gold for luxury brands - Natural greens for eco-conscious brands - Bold, bright colours for festival and event papers
3. Think About Both Sides
You have two surfaces to work with: the front of the booklet and the back. Use them strategically.
Front (Cover): - Primary branding - Logo and brand name - Main visual element
Back: - Contact information - Social media handles - QR codes (test readability!) - Taglines or slogans
4. Don't Forget the Box
If you're ordering custom display boxes, they offer additional real estate for your branding.
Box design opportunities: - Larger logo placement - Brand story or tagline - Product information - Eye-catching shelf presence
The box is often the first thing customers see, so make it count!
