What size rolling tray do I need?
Match tray size to your longest paper and your widest tool. A 7 by 10 inch tray handles most 1 1/4 inch paper sessions. A 10 by 12 inch tray handles king size papers, a 3 inch grinder, a lighter, and a jar.

Use this rule: tray length should be at least twice your paper length. Tray width should be at least twice your grinder diameter. A 1 1/4 paper is 78 mm (3.1 in) long, so a 7 in tray clears it. A king size paper is 110 mm (4.3 in) long, so a 10 in tray clears it.
Standard tray sizes
- Mini: 5 by 7 in (12.7 by 17.8 cm). Holds one pack of 1 1/4 papers, a 2 in grinder, and a lighter. No room for a jar.
- Small: 7 by 10 in (17.8 by 25.4 cm). Fits 1 1/4 or king size papers, a 2.5 in grinder, tips, and a small jar.
- Medium: 10 by 12 in to 11 by 14 in (25 by 30 cm to 28 by 35 cm). Fits a 3 in grinder, a 110 mm paper pack, a lighter, a jar, and a pack of tips.
- Large: 14 by 18 in (35.6 by 45.7 cm) and above. Fits two jars, a large grinder, a dab tool, and a bong bowl. These stay on a table.
Edge height and depth
Wall height runs from 0.5 in to 1.5 in. A 0.5 in wall lets ground herb roll off the tray. A 1 in wall keeps material inside. Deep trays (1.5 in) hold more but block your view of the paper.

Portability
A 7 by 10 in tray fits a backpack laptop sleeve. A 10 by 12 in tray fits a tote bag. An 11 by 14 in tray does not fit most bags. If you roll away from home, stay at 10 in or below.
