Rolling trays come in five main materials, each with practical and aesthetic tradeoffs. Metal trays, typically tin or aluminum, are the most common and most affordable, offered by brands including RAW, OCB, V Syndicate, and Zig-Zag. They are lightweight, dishwasher-safe in most cases, and survive being dropped. Glass trays, most notably the RAW Glass line and V Syndicate Glassworks, look premium and clean up easily but break if dropped. Wood trays, often bamboo or oak, add warmth and a vintage aesthetic and are popular among hand-rolled cigar smokers as well. Silicone trays are flexible, nearly indestructible, and useful for travel because they fold or roll. Magnetic or LED trays, including the V Syndicate Glow Tray line, add features like LED illumination or magnetic edges for tools and accessories. The right material depends on use case: metal for daily home use, glass for showcasing on a coffee table, wood for ambiance, silicone for travel, and LED for nighttime sessions. We stock all five materials at /collections/rolling-trays and can show samples in person at our LA shop.
