Zig-Zag

Established in 1873 in Barcelona by a Catalan engineer named Francesc Gudiol, who originally produced booklets and paper for the publishing industry. Zig-Zag's original product was a wide paper for books, not rolling papers, but customers quickly discovered that the paper could be folded to make handy cigarette papers. The company's name comes from the zigzag pattern on which its paper is printed.
