Rolling trays
by Hemper
The Camouflage Rolling Tray is a metal rolling tray from Hemper that keeps your dried herbs, papers, and filters organised on one sturdy surface. Finished in a classic camo print, it looks good on a desk or side table without screaming "rolling station" to anyone walking past. The raised lip around all four edges stops ground material from escaping onto your lap, your carpet, or that gap between the sofa cushions you'll never reach again.
Hemper make accessories that actually get used rather than stuffed in a drawer. This tray is stamped from a single sheet of metal — no seams, no weak spots, no flex when you press down. The smooth coating wipes clean in seconds, which matters more than you'd think after a few sessions. It's one of those accessories that costs next to nothing but changes how you roll for good.
Hemper offers this camouflage rolling tray in two sizes. The Medium (SKU: HS2422) is the everyday pick — enough room for a grinder, papers, a filter booklet, and a small pile of ground herb without crowding. It fits on a bedside table or a narrow shelf and travels well in a backpack.
The Large (SKU: HS2423) gives you noticeably more surface area. If you tend to roll several at once, or you like spreading out with multiple strains and accessories, the Large is the one to grab. It also works as a general catch-all for your smoking kit — grinder, lighter, papers, tips, and a stash jar all fit comfortably with room to work.
| Variant | SKU | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Medium | HS2422 | Solo sessions, portable use, smaller spaces |
| Large | HS2423 | Group sessions, full kit storage, desk setup |
Our honest take: if you're only ever rolling for yourself, the Medium is all you need. But the Large costs barely more and you won't regret the extra space. We'd pick the Large nine times out of ten.

Complete your rolling setup: pair this camouflage rolling tray with a metal herb grinder for a consistent grind and a pack of unbleached rolling papers. A filter tip booklet rounds things off — everything stays on the tray, nothing gets wasted.
Rolling without a tray is a bit like cooking without a chopping board. You can do it, but you'll lose material everywhere. Ground herb falls between floorboards, sticks to textured surfaces, and blows away the second someone opens a window. A metal rolling tray with raised edges solves all of that in one go. Everything stays contained, visible, and within finger's reach.
The Hemper Camouflage Rolling Tray specifically earns its spot because it's metal — not plastic, not wood, not a magazine balanced on your knee. Plastic trays build up static that clings to fine herb particles. Wooden trays absorb moisture and oils over time, which gets grimy fast. Metal stays flat, wipes clean, and doesn't warp. The printed camo finish on this one adds a layer that prevents the surface from feeling cold or slippery, giving ground material just enough grip to stay put while you work.
Compared to the RAW Classic Rolling Tray (another popular pick we carry), the Hemper sits in the same price bracket but offers a bolder design. If you prefer understated, RAW's brown kraft look might suit you better. If you want something with a bit more personality on your coffee table, the camo print stands out. Both do the job — it comes down to what you want to look at.
We've sold rolling trays since before most online shops existed — literally, since 1999. The single biggest upgrade people don't expect? How much less herb they waste. Customers who switch from rolling on a book or table surface to a proper metal tray with raised edges consistently say they're getting more from the same amount of material. It's not magic, it's just physics: nothing falls off, nothing sticks, nothing blows away.
The one limitation worth mentioning: metal trays make noise. If you drop your grinder on it, everyone in the room hears it. That's the trade-off for durability. If stealth matters more than longevity, a silicone mat might suit you better — but you'll replace it sooner and it won't stay as flat.
If you roll for yourself, the Medium camouflage rolling tray has plenty of space. If you like to lay out your full kit — grinder, papers, tips, lighter, and a jar — or roll multiple at once, go Large. The price difference is small, so the Large is the safer bet if you're unsure.
Wipe it with a damp cloth after each session. For sticky buildup, use a paper towel with a drop of isopropyl alcohol. Avoid abrasive sponges — they'll scratch the printed camo finish over time. Takes about 10 seconds.
Yes, for most people. Metal trays stay flat, don't build up static that clings to fine herb particles, and last years without warping. Plastic trays are lighter but degrade faster and attract more dust and residue. The Hemper camouflage rolling tray is stamped from a single sheet of metal, so there are no seams to trap material.
The Medium fits in a backpack or large bag without issue. The Large is better as a home station — it'll fit in a rucksack but takes up real space. Neither size is fragile, so tossing it in a bag won't damage it.
With normal use and gentle cleaning, the print holds up well. Scrubbing with abrasive materials or harsh chemicals will damage any printed metal surface, so stick to soft cloths and isopropyl alcohol. We've seen these trays last years of daily use with the design still intact.
Both are metal, both have raised edges, both do the job. The RAW tray has a classic brown kraft-paper look; the Hemper has a bold camo print. Build quality is comparable. It comes down to which design you prefer sitting on your table.
