The Bulldog Rolling Tips
The Bulldog Rolling Tips are thin cardboard filter tip booklets from one of Amsterdam's most recognisable coffee shop brands. Each booklet packs 40 individual tips — enough for 40 proper roaches, or 80 if you tear them in half for slimmer joints. A small souvenir from The Bulldog Amsterdam that actually gets used.

Why You Actually Need Proper Rolling Tips
Rolling tips are one of those things you don't think about until you're tearing up a train ticket or the flap of a Rizla packet at 1 AM. We've watched people in the shop use business cards, cereal boxes, even a parking fine once. The problem with improvised roaches? Inconsistent thickness, ink you probably shouldn't be inhaling, and a roll that falls apart halfway through.
A purpose-made filter tip like The Bulldog's gives you a consistent diameter every time. The cardboard is thin enough to roll tightly but stiff enough to hold its shape — you get airflow without bits pulling through. At 40 tips per booklet, one of these lasts most people a solid couple of weeks. And if you roll slim, tearing each tip in half gives you 80 filters from a single booklet. That's genuinely hard to beat for the price.
The one honest limitation: these are unperforated. There are no pre-scored fold lines, so if you like accordion-style tips with neat zigzag folds, you'll need to crease them yourself. Some rollers prefer that freedom; others find pre-perforated tips faster. If you're in the second camp, keep that in mind — but freehand rolling a tip takes about 3 seconds once you've done it a few times.
How to Roll a Filter Tip
- Pull a single tip from the booklet. For slim joints, tear it lengthways down the middle first.
- Make 2–3 small accordion folds at one end — these form the "W" or "M" shape that blocks herb from pulling through.
- Roll the remaining flat section tightly around the folded part until you reach the end of the card.
- Let go gently — the tip will spring open slightly to its natural diameter. That's your airflow channel.
- Slot the finished tip into the end of your rolling paper before you roll, or insert it after if you prefer to pack from the open end.
From Our Counter
We've stocked The Bulldog tips since the early days of the shop. They're the kind of thing tourists grab as a memento — the branding is unmistakable if you've walked past The Bulldog on the Leidseplein — but locals buy them too because they're just solid, no-nonsense roach card. The booklet is compact enough to slide into a cigarette pack or wallet without adding bulk. We've had customers tell us they found a forgotten Bulldog tip booklet in a jacket pocket years later and it still rolled fine. Cardboard doesn't expire.
Compared to something like the RAW tips (which have a slightly smoother, thinner feel), The Bulldog card has a touch more rigidity. That makes it better for wider rolls but slightly stiffer for very tight, pencil-thin filters. If you roll standard-width joints or blunts, you won't notice a difference. If you exclusively roll pinners, RAW's thinner stock might suit you marginally better — but honestly, at this price point, grab both and see which you prefer.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many rolling tips are in a Bulldog booklet?
Each booklet contains 40 individual tips. If you tear each one in half lengthways, you get 80 slimmer tips — handy for thinner rolls.
Are The Bulldog rolling tips perforated?
No, they're unperforated. You fold and roll them freehand, which gives you full control over the diameter and fold pattern of your roach.
Can I use these tips for blunts as well as joints?
Yes. The full-width tip works well for wider blunt wraps. The cardboard is stiff enough to hold shape in a larger diameter without collapsing.
What's the difference between The Bulldog tips and RAW tips?
The Bulldog tips use slightly thicker cardboard, giving a firmer roach. RAW tips are thinner and smoother, which some people prefer for very slim rolls. Both do the job — it comes down to personal preference.
Do rolling tips affect the taste of a joint?
Unbleached, unprinted cardboard tips like these have virtually no taste. The Bulldog branding is on the booklet cover, not on the individual tip surfaces, so you're not burning through ink.
How do I make an accordion filter tip?
Fold 2–3 small zigzag creases at one end of the tip, then wrap the remaining flat section around those folds. The zigzag acts as a screen to block material from pulling through.
