This Scooby Doo rolling tray from Smoke Arsenal is a simple but classic rolling tray.

This sort of tray is perfect for smokers who don’t have a lot of room to keep their smoking apparatus and therefore, have nowhere to keep a larger box.

These types of rolling trays are super easy to come by and the majority of them feature some sort of pop culture image with a cannabis twist or other beautiful and interesting imagery.

While the design of the tray itself is very simple, sometimes that is all you need.

If you already have storage for your bud, papers, and lighters (see also "How To Make A Lighter"), a basic tray like this can make all the difference .

The tray is made from aluminum metal which makes it super durable, despite its thin design.

This material also ensures that the tray is light and therefore, remains super portable for ease of use.

The dimensions of this rolling tray are 7” x 5” which isn’t too small but it isn’t large either. If you are a messy roller (see also "How To Use A Joint Roller"), this might not be big enough for you.

The rounded corners of this rolling tray help to avoid any of your bud being lost to joins and crevices.

It also means that the tray is much easier to clean when the time comes to reorganize your rolling set up.

Pros

  • Simple design
  • Super portable
  • Easy to clean and store

Cons

  • Smaller size than other rolling trays

The tray itself is available in a small size and a large size depending on your needs.

If you like the idea of having a storage box with your rolling tray but don’t realistically have the space to keep anything bigger than a standard, metal rolling tray, this LOSTABA product is exactly what you need.

The dimensions of this rolling tray are almost exactly the same as the two aluminum rolling trays that we have mentioned above.

However, this one comes with a magnetic lid to help keep all of your papers, tips, and lighters together when you are not using them (see also "Best Lighter For Weed").

One of the most standout things about this rolling tray is the design.

While the aesthetics might be the least important aspect of a rolling tray, the visuals of this product are beautiful and can easily blend into the rest of your home decor without drawing attention to its use or contents.

The tray is just deep enough to keep all of your smoking apparatus, with the exception of a grinder if you have a particularly tall one.

The magnets in the lid help to keep it secure and keep your smoking equipment hidden from view.

Because the lid is only secured with magnets and there is no silicone involved, this tray is not smell proof.

This tray is available in large and medium sizes, although LOSTABA recommends the larger size to more comfortably fit all of your papers, tips, lighters, and herb in the tray compartment.

The curved edges of the tray make it super easy to clean and the shallow depth makes transport and storage easier.

Pros

  • Compact design for easy storage and transportation
  • Magnetic lid keeps equipment hidden from view
  • More subtle design than other aluminum rolling trays

Cons

  • Not smell proof

This is one of the largest rolling trays on the market but it truly has everything that you need to roll perfect joints every time.

This rolling tray from BloomFlower is essentially a hinged case made from bamboo.

When the tray is closed, it looks like a sleek and discreet bamboo box.

Although, you will need something separate to carry your grinder and lighters in while the tray is closed.

The finish of this tray is super smooth and has been completed to a very high standard to avoid splinters.

You also get a complimentary scoop card with this tray.

Pros

Although this tray is technically another basic aluminum rolling tray, the design is super cool and unique.

This rolling tray from RAW X Boo Johnson has been shaped to look like a skate deck.

This is a great option for anyone who is into skating. 

It is also a great example of the different styles of novelty rolling trays that you can purchase to make your hobby more fun.

While the tray is designed to look like a skate deck for purely aesthetic purposes, it is actually a really useful rolling tray design.

The smoothed-out corners make it super easy to gather up the herb that has been grounded.

With this rolling tray design, you are less likely to waste some of your herbs because you can’t get it off of the tray.

The tray is also a decent size which makes it perfect for traveling with when you are going to parties, to a mate's house, or even on a vacation, but large enough to allow you room to roll properly.

Pros

  • Unique RAW X Boo Johnson design
  • Unique skate deck shape
  • Reinforced metal makes it super durable

Cons

  • The paint can get scratched by metal grinders and jewelry

Buyer’s Guide

There are a few things that you should consider before diving in and buying your first rolling tray.

Below are some of the most important things to think about when looking for the perfect rolling tray.

Rolling Tray Material

One of the most important things to consider when purchasing a rolling tray is the material that it is made from.

The more basic and cheaper trays are likely to be made from aluminum.

While this is the cheaper option, these trays are often super durable and can take a few drops before they become dented. 

Aluminum rolling trays are also incredibly lightweight and can be transported super easily if necessary.

The other main option for a rolling tray is a hardwood of some sort. This is a more expensive option but it is incredibly durable.

Hardwood rolling trays are often the lid portion of a stash box or part of a more elaborate folding rolling tray. They are also significantly heavier than their aluminum counterparts.

As long as you are buying a high-quality tray in either material, there should be no issues with cracking or denting.

Nor should the design result in the loss of a significant amount of herb.

Basic Tray Or Storage

As we have mentioned, there are basic rolling trays on the market and there are trays that have storage built into them.

The main thing that needs to be considered when deciding on which type of tray to purchase is the amount of room you have.

If you don’t have anywhere to conveniently store a full stash box, a simple, basic rolling tray will be the better choice.

However, if you have the room for a stash box, or you are concerned about other people being able to smell the herb in your room or home, a stash box is better.

This way, you can keep all of your smoking equipment together for more convenient access. You can also minimize the smell that is present in your room.

Compartments And Holders

Stash box-style rolling trays are much more likely to come with different compartments and holders.

However, it is possible to get more basic rolling trays that have some cone holders or slots in which you can roll your joint (see also "How To Roll A Cone").

If you are an experienced roller who doesn’t feel the need to have places to hold your cones or special grooves to roll your joint, a simple rolling tray will be fine.

However, if you feel that you would benefit from holders, grooves, and even compartments to hold your lighters, a stash box-style tray will be more beneficial.

This style is also a great choice for smokers who often lose their tips, lighters, or papers.

Final Thoughts

There have been so many different types of rolling trays bursting onto the market in recent years that it can be difficult to know which ones are worth your money.

The products in this article all have high user reviews to help you make the best choice for your needs.
