Zig Zag's legendary journey began in 1855 when brothers Maurice and Jacques Braunstein established their rolling paper company in France. Their genius innovation came in 1894 when they perfected the interleaving process that dispensed papers one at a time in a distinctive zigzag pattern, giving the brand its iconic name. This invention was so revolutionary it earned Zig Zag a gold medal at the 1900 Universal Exposition in Paris.For over 165 years, Zig Zag has maintained its position as one of the most recognized brands in smoking culture. The company's signature orange packaging and the famous "Le Zouave" soldier image have become cultural touchstones, referenced throughout decades of music, art, and counterculture movements.In 1997, Turning Point Brands acquired North American distribution rights, expanding Zig Zag's reach and innovation capabilities. Today, after surviving world wars, cultural revolutions, and changing consumer preferences, Zig Zag has embraced its connection to cannabis culture with products specifically designed for "herbal use" while maintaining the quality and craftsmanship that made them legendary.
