RAW Black Rolling Tray — Small
The RAW Black Rolling Tray is a sturdy metal rolling tray designed to match the look of RAW's Black Rolling Paper booklets. At 27.5 x 17.5 cm, it gives you a dedicated surface to build your spliffs without losing a single crumb of herb to the sofa cushions, the carpet, or that gap between your desk and the wall where things go to die.
Why a RAW Rolling Tray Belongs on Your Table
A rolling tray is a flat, lipped surface that keeps your rolling materials in one place — herb, papers, tips, lighter, the lot. Sounds simple because it is. But the difference between rolling on a book versus rolling on a proper tray is the difference between sweeping your floor every session and not. The raised edges on the RAW Black catch everything that falls, and the smooth metal surface means you can funnel leftover material straight back into your grinder instead of picking bits off your jeans.
We've sold rolling trays for over two decades at the shop, and the number one thing people underestimate is how much herb they waste without one. A pinch here, a scatter there — it adds up faster than you'd think. The RAW Black is the small size, which makes it the best rolling tray for daily use at home or for tucking into a bag. It's not trying to be a workstation; it's trying to be the thing you actually reach for every time you sit down to roll.
The one honest limitation: at 27.5 x 17.5 cm, it's snug. If you like to spread out with multiple strains, a grinder, a jar, and a rolling machine all at once, you'll feel cramped. For that kind of setup, a medium or large tray works better. But for a straightforward roll-up-and-go session, this size is spot on — and it fits neatly on a bedside table or shelf when you're done.
What Makes the RAW Black Edition Different
RAW makes about a dozen tray designs, and the Black edition stands out because it's understated. Where the classic RAW tray has that tan-brown paper aesthetic, the Black version uses a dark colour scheme that mirrors the RAW Black rolling papers — their thinnest, most refined line. The iconic RAW logo sits across the face of the tray in a tonal finish rather than screaming at you in bright colours. It looks good left out on a coffee table, which is more than you can say for most smoking accessories.
The tray itself is pressed metal with curved, rounded edges. No sharp corners catching your fingers or scratching surfaces. The weight is noticeable enough that it won't slide around when you're working, but light enough to carry one-handed. Pick it up and you can feel it's not flimsy tin — there's a solidity to it that suggests it'll outlast several years of daily use without the print wearing through.

Rolling Tray Size Reference
Rolling trays generally come in three sizes. The RAW Black is available here in the small format. For reference, standard industry sizing runs roughly as follows:
| Size | Typical dimensions | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 27.5 x 17.5 cm (approx. 11 x 7 in) | Solo sessions, portable use, tight spaces |
| Medium | 28 x 19 cm (approx. 11 x 7.5 in) | Everyday home rolling with a grinder alongside |
| Large | 35.5 x 28 cm (approx. 14 x 11 in) | Full setup — multiple accessories, group sessions |
If you only roll for yourself and keep things tidy, the small RAW Black is all you need. If you're the designated roller for a group, go larger.
Complete your rolling setup: pair this tray with RAW Black King Size Slim papers for a matching look, and grab a RAW Tips booklet so you're never tearing up train tickets again. A decent grinder — something like the SLX or a classic aluminium 4-piece — rounds out everything you need for a clean, efficient roll every time.
How to Use a Rolling Tray
- Place the RAW Black Rolling Tray on a flat, stable surface — a table, your lap, wherever you're comfortable.
- Gather your materials on the tray: ground herb, rolling papers, filter tips, and a lighter. Everything stays within the raised edges.
- Grind your herb directly over the tray so any spillage lands on the metal surface rather than your furniture.
- Roll as you normally would. The flat metal base gives you a smooth, even workspace with no fabric fibres or textures getting in the way.
- Once you've finished rolling, tilt the tray gently toward one corner to funnel any leftover herb into a pile. Scoop it back into your grinder or stash jar — nothing wasted.
- Clean the tray with a damp cloth or paper towel. The metal surface doesn't absorb resin or oils the way wood or fabric would, so a quick wipe keeps it fresh.
