RAW Metal Case

RAW Metal Case — Keep Your Rollies and Stash Intact

The RAW Metal Case is a compact embossed tin storage box that keeps joints, rolling papers, and small smoking accessories safe in your pocket or bag. Measuring just 118 x 90 x 68mm with a depth of 25mm, it slots neatly into a jacket pocket or rucksack without adding bulk. If you've ever pulled a crumpled joint out of your back pocket, you already know why this exists.

What Fits Inside the RAW Tin Storage Box

The RAW Metal Case holds exactly one standard pack of cigarettes — that's the benchmark RAW designed it around. But most of our customers aren't using it for cigarettes. The 118mm length and 25mm depth give you enough room for 4-6 pre-rolled joints laid flat, a pack of RAW rolling papers, a few filter tips, and still have space left over. Dried herb fits too, though we'd recommend a small baggie inside to keep things fresh and the tin clean.

The lid closes with a satisfying click. It's not airtight — there's no rubber seal — so don't expect it to lock in moisture or smell completely. For short-term transport, though, it does the job properly. Your joints arrive at the other end in one piece instead of bent, broken, or flattened.

Build and Feel

We've handled a lot of stash tins over the years, and the RAW Metal Case sits in the sweet spot between flimsy novelty tins and overbuilt metal boxes you'd never actually carry. The embossed RAW logo on the lid gives it a textured, slightly rough feel under your thumb — it doesn't look or feel like a generic tin from a pound shop. The edges are smooth, no sharp corners catching on pocket linings. It weighs next to nothing, which is the whole point.

The one honest limitation: the hinge. It's a standard pressed-tin hinge, not a piano hinge or anything reinforced. Treat it reasonably and it'll last years. Force it open past its natural stopping point repeatedly and you'll weaken it. We've seen customers bring back tins they've used daily for 18 months with zero issues — and others who wrecked theirs in a week by sitting on it. Tin is tin. Don't put it under your backside.

Why You Actually Need a Stash Tin

Pockets destroy joints. That's not an opinion — it's physics. A rolled joint in a trouser pocket gets sat on, bent at the filter, compressed until airflow is gone. You end up relighting a canoe or tearing the paper trying to straighten it. A rigid tin solves this in the most obvious way possible: it doesn't bend.

Bags aren't much better. Toss a couple of pre-rolls into a rucksack and they'll end up under your water bottle, tangled in your headphone cable, or crushed by a book. The RAW Metal Case gives them a fixed home. Open the lid, lay them in, close it, done. It's the kind of accessory that costs almost nothing but saves genuine annoyance every time you travel — whether that's a festival weekend, a park session, or just the walk to your mate's place.

We've been selling RAW gear since they were still a niche brand, and the metal case remains one of those items people buy once, use constantly, and then buy a second one because they left the first at someone's house. At under a tenner, it's the definition of a no-brainer purchase.

How to Use the RAW Metal Case

1. Open the hinged lid by pressing your thumb against the front lip and lifting.
2. Place your pre-rolled joints, cigarettes, or rolling papers flat inside the tin. The 118mm length accommodates king size papers and standard pre-rolls.
3. For loose dried herb, place it in a small resealable bag first — this keeps the tin clean and makes it easier to pour out later.
4. Close the lid firmly until you feel it click shut. The friction fit holds it closed in your pocket.
5. Store the tin in a jacket pocket, bag, or backpack. Avoid sitting directly on it — 25mm of tin won't survive your full body weight on a hard chair.
