RollCraft Launches Pre-Roll Automation Machines for Producers Scaling Production in 2026
Washingtoner/10312635

SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. - Washingtoner -- RollCraft announced the launch of a new modular pre-roll automation line for producers facing higher labor costs and tighter operational demands heading into 2026. The lineup targets operators priced out of legacy automation systems.

Competition across pre-roll production continues to intensify. Labor expenses rise. Wholesale pricing tightens. Demand for consistent and compliant pre-rolls grows. Pre-rolls lead category growth, yet many producers still rely on manual or semi-manual workflows. Those workflows restrict throughput and margins. RollCraft brings automation earlier into your production cycle.

Powered by STM Canna and engineered in Spokane, Washington, RollCraft machines support producers moving from hand-packed and hand-closed processes into automated production. The RollCraft MRB pre-roll filling machine pairs with the RollCraft ATC Dutch crown closing machine. This pairing reduces labor dependency, improves consistency, and supports scalable output without high capital requirements.

Legacy pre-roll machines from RollPros, Hefestus, Apehex, and similar platforms target high-volume industrial operators. Those systems require complex infrastructure and significant upfront investment. RollCraft focuses on small and mid-sized brands preparing for growth without excessive cost.

The RollCraft MRB pre-roll filling machine reduces labor cost per pre-roll while improving weight accuracy, consistency, and throughput compared to manual processes.

The RollCraft ATC Dutch crown closing machine delivers uniform, retail-ready finishes with minimal operator input. Hand-finishing time drops. Presentation stays consistent at scale with improved smokeability.

Together, the MRB and ATC lower automation barriers. Producers scale production efficiently while directing capital toward product development, sales, and distribution rather than complex machinery.

"Pre-roll automation no longer serves as an option for producers focused on competitiveness," said a RollCraft spokesperson. "RollCraft bridges the gap between manual production and large industrial systems. Operators gain a realistic path to scale without pricing growth out of reach."

RollCraft machines support multiple cone sizes and formats. The compact, modular system fits standard production environments. The lineup suits operators using hand filling, hand closing, Knockbox, King Kone, or similar entry-level tools who face labor bottlenecks, inconsistent output, or missed wholesale demand.

As markets mature and consolidation accelerates, automation decisions made today define long-term competitiveness. RollCraft delivers reliable pre-roll machinery without the cost, footprint, or complexity tied to legacy automation providers.

Pre-orders are available now at rollcraft.co. Shipping is scheduled for late February through March 2026.
