![]() A facility’s choices at this point are: overtime pay, additional rollers, or finding a quality pre-roll machine. When is it time to think about an automatic cone filling machine? In our hypothetical case featuring a world-record caliber roller, it happens as soon as the demand exceeds the number of pre-rolls a facility can produce by hand. However, as demands increase, it makes less and less sense to continue paying an employee to do something a machine can do much more efficiently. One single full-time joint roller will cost a business $600/week in this scenario, which again, may sound very reasonable depending on a facility’s needs. There will come a time when paying someone upwards of fifteen dollars an hour to process joints is no longer cost-effective. Though certainly a useful skill, hand-rolling won't make you competetive. For a small operation producing only a handful of joints per day, producing pre-rolls by hand probably makes sense, but what happens when we scale up to hundreds or even thousands of joints per day? The truth is that the number of pre-rolled joints produced and sold is going to depend on the producer’s size, market share, ability to keep up with demands, etc. But is that a lot? It seems like it, right? Insanely fast and able to roll a single joint in under 5 seconds, it seems like this would be plenty of speed for operation, since unhindered, an ultra-talented roller will be able to produce a couple thousand pre-rolled joints a day. Imagine you've hired a world record hand joint roller to make your joints. ![]() Though it might reduce upfront expenses, growers will find that the cost will quickly become infeasible as production scales up. While it remains an art form, manually rolling or hand-packing cones just isn’t competitive in the growing marijuana and hemp markets. While there will always be a place for hand-rolled joints, hand-rolling in a commercial facility is a thing of the past.
