Last week, in the heart of Vancouver, WA, we joined dozens of other cannabis professionals to witness something special: the launch of the Blackbird XXL, the newest innovation from RollPros. Designed to roll larger format pre-rolls and blunts at scale, the Blackbird XXL isn’t just an upgrade, it’s a full-on evolution in cannabis manufacturing.
From its eye-catching industrial design to the high-energy reveal event, it was clear that RollPros isn’t just selling machinery, they’re shaping the future of premium pre-roll production.
RollPros Reveals the Blackbird XXL: A Night We’ll Remember
Walking into the venue, it was clear this wasn’t your average product launch. Energy filled the room as blue and purple stage lighting bathed the crowd. The DJ spun tracks while dozens of familiar faces from the cannabis community gathered to witness the Blackbird XXL in action.
The reveal felt more like a festival than a factory tour, and that’s what made it special. Community, innovation, and culture all under one roof. We came for the machine, but stayed for the conversations, the camaraderie, and the real-time reactions as the Blackbird XXL rolled out smooth, consistent blunts one after another.
What Is the Blackbird XXL?
The Blackbird XXL is the latest machine from RollPros, engineered specifically to roll—but not stuff—premium blunts and large-format pre-rolls. It expands on the technology of the original Blackbird, offering increased capacity, upgraded automation, and a level of precision that ensures every roll is top-shelf.
What Sets the Blackbird XXL Apart?
- Real Rolling Technology: Unlike stuffing machines, the Blackbird XXL actually rolls each product, giving it a natural hand-rolled appearance and feel.
- Custom Controls: Operators can customize weight, density, paper size, and wrap type to create distinct SKUs.
- Industrial Output: With production capabilities exceeding 900 units per hour, this machine is made for serious scaling.
- Touchscreen Interface: Clean, user-friendly UI lets you program recipes and monitor output with ease.
- Consistency First: From the first unit to the 10,000th, you get uniform quality across every roll.
Scaling Blunts Without Sacrificing Quality
One of the biggest challenges in blunt production is maintaining quality and consistency at scale. Many machines can churn out product but few deliver rolls that look and feel like they were done by a pro. That’s where the Blackbird XXL excels.
Thanks to its real rolling mechanism, each unit has the visual appeal and tactile finish of a hand-rolled blunt. With custom control over weight, compression, and wraps, this machine delivers both efficiency and powerful branding.
Whether you’re pushing a high-end product line or simply trying to hit volume while keeping margins tight, the Blackbird XXL offers a rare middle ground: premium output without the premium labor costs.
The Event Vibes Were Just as Big
From the buzzing crowd to the conversations sparked between demos, the event felt like more than a machine reveal. It felt like a community milestone. The energy in the room was electric, and we were stoked to see so many industry innovators turning out to explore what’s next for scaled pre-roll manufacturing.
And yes, we ran into a few surprise guests too which made the night even better.
Major props to Kyle, Johnathan, and the entire RollPros crew for putting on such an impressive showcase and building a machine that meets the moment.
A Machine Worth Rolling With
If your operation is scaling SKUs, launching new blunt products, or battling bottlenecks in pre-roll production, the Blackbird XXL deserves your attention. It’s not just about volume, it’s about producing something your brand can be proud of, at a speed and consistency your bottom line will love.
This isn’t tech for the sake of tech. This is tool-meets-tradition, engineered with intention and rolled out with style.
We’re excited to see how operators use it and what new product categories it unlocks.
