Rolling Trays 101: The Ultimate Guide

As the cannabis market continues to grow, the accessories and gadgets that we utilize have only grown with it. Yet, one of the most essential accessories at any smoker's disposal is often forgotten. Many overlook the humble rolling tray even though it is critical to an organized, mess-free smoking experience. Whether you're a seasoned smoker or just starting, understanding the benefits and features of a rolling tray can elevate your setup and make your rolling process more efficient.

What is a Rolling Tray?

A rolling tray is a versatile, flat-surfaced smoking accessory that helps you organize your materials while rolling joints, blunts, or preparing other smoking products. These trays come in various shapes and sizes, from compact, pocket-sized options for on-the-go use to larger, more expansive trays that offer ample workspace at home.

Typically made from metal, wood, plastic, or hemp, rolling trays often feature raised edges to keep your cannabis, papers, and tools secure. The smooth surface of the tray also makes it easy to gather and collect any loose cannabis, ensuring that nothing goes to waste. Whether you prefer a sleek metal tray or a custom-designed wooden one, there’s a rolling tray out there to suit every smoker’s needs.

Why You Need a Rolling Tray

Let’s take a look at some of the reasons why a quality rolling tray is worth investing in:

• Organization: A rolling tray provides a dedicated space for all your rolling essentials—papers, filters, cannabis, and tools—keeping everything within easy reach and preventing clutter.
• Clean Work Surface: Rolling on a clean, flat surface ensures that your cannabis is evenly distributed and that you don't lose any in the process. It also makes post-roll cleanup a breeze.
• Prevent Losing Cannabis: With raised edges and a smooth surface, a rolling tray keeps all your materials in one place, reducing the risk of losing valuable cannabis to a messy rolling area.
• Expressing Yourself: Smoker's rolling trays are an extension of their personality. As rolling and smoking are typically a communal experience, many people will see your tray, so sport one that represents you!

A rolling tray isn't just a luxury; it's one of the most practical smoking accessories, making your preparation routine more efficient and enjoyable. That's all great, but what should you look for in a rolling tray?

What to Look for in a Rolling Tray

When choosing a rolling tray, it's essential to find one that suits your needs and style. Size is a key consideration—small trays are ideal for portability but offer limited space, while medium-sized trays, like our 11-inch by 7-inch option, strike a good balance between convenience and workspace. Design is also important; pick one you enjoy since you'll use the tray frequently.

Material matters, too, with metal trays being a durable choice for everyday use. Price is another factor, but it's a smart investment. Rolling trays range from a few dollars for basic plastic options to $20 or more for premium designs made from high-end materials. While prices vary based on size, material, and design, even an affordable tray can provide great value by keeping you organized and preventing cannabis waste. Our rolling trays, priced at just $9.99, offer a durable and stylish solution without breaking the bank.

The Fast Fill Rolling Tray

The Fast Fill Rolling is the upgrade any pre-roll smoker needs, turning a classic metal rolling tray into the ultimate portable cone-packer.

Priced under $15, this dual-purpose tool features foldable metal legs, two funnel holes for cone filling, and can accommodate any cone size from mini "dogwalkers" to king size. When not filling cones, included plugs convert it back to a traditional rolling tray.

Simply unfold the legs, insert funnels and drop in pre-rolled cones. Grind cannabis directly onto the tray surface, then use the brush to sweep flower into the funnels. Tamp down with the stick, repeat until filled, then pop out the completed pre-roll. That’s it.

The Fast Fill eliminates the mess and difficulty of hand-packing cones, keeping both hands free for efficient packing and tamping. Its compact, portable design makes it ideal for home use, travel, camping, or social settings. The sturdy metal construction ensures durability while remaining small enough for any bag.

The Fast Fill Rolling Tray solves the tricky issue of on-the-go cone packing, allowing users to create custom pre-rolls quickly and cleanly. Its portable design and dual functionality make it valuable for both casual and regular cannabis users who want control over their pre-roll quality without traditional hassles.

The Perfect Pack Machine for Automatic Packing

If you’re looking to avoid rolling your own joints entirely, a rolling machine is a great option.This device helps you achieve perfectly rolled joints with minimal effort. Our Perfect Pack Pre Roll Joint Filling Machine takes it a step further by ensuring consistent and multiple tightly packed joints at a time, saving time during preparation.

While the ritual of rolling a joint calls to some, packing pre-rolled cones and tubes is a great alternative for folks who don't role or who prefer the customization of a pre-roll, including paper type, shape, size, filter tip, and flower choice. When packing your own pre-rolls, consistency is key, and that's exactly what the Perfect Pack Machine delivers!

While most filling machines are designed for tobacco, the Perfect Pack was designed specifically for cannabis, employing an auger system to fill pre-rolls from the filter through to the tip. The Perfect Pack Machine makes it easy to get evenly packed joints and blunts every time.

An adjustable compression knob allows users to fine-tune the density of their pre-rolls and is compatible with any sized pre-rolled tube as well as pre-rolled cones, though cones take a little practice to get things just right.

Whether you're prepping a personal pre-roll or packing at scale for an adventure, the Perfect Pack will have your joints dialed in to your exact preference. Trust us, it'll become your new favorite part of packing pre-rolls.
