Frequently asked questions about mixing trays / rolling trays
What is a mixing bowl or a rolling tray used for?
Mixing trays – also known as rolling trays – serve as a practical surface for preparing herbal mixtures, joints, or for weighing ingredients. They prevent material from being wasted and ensure order when rolling and filling.
What is the difference between a mixing bowl and a rolling tray?
Both terms refer to the same thing in everyday language: a shallow tray with a rim. "Mischschale" (mixing tray) is more common in German-speaking countries, while "Rolling Tray" is the international term – especially in the vaping and headshop scene.
Are there rolling trays with lids or magnetic closures?
Yes, many modern mixing bowls have lids – either made of plastic, metal, or with a magnetic closure. This allows you to safely transport your accessories and herbs or protect them from dust.
What materials are commonly used for mixing bowls?
Popular rolling trays are made from:
- Metal (robust, easy to clean)
- Wood (natural look)
- Silicone (flexible, easy to clean)
- Glass (stylish, but fragile)
The choice depends on the location and personal preferences.
What size is ideal for a rolling tray?
Larger models (e.g., 27 × 16 cm) are suitable for home use, while compact versions (e.g., 18 × 12 cm) are more practical when traveling. Some sets even offer mini-trays or "to-go" versions.
Can I use a mixing bowl on the go?
Sure – many rolling trays are specifically designed as compact travel versions. Look for models with a lid, closure, or storage compartments for papers, grinder, etc.
Which brands offer high-quality rolling trays?
At Viweedy you can find, among other things, mixing bowls from:
- RAW
- G-Rollz
- Best Buds
- Black Leaf
- V-Syndicate
They all stand for quality, functionality and stylish designs.
Are there rolling trays with special designs or motifs?
Yes! From cannabis artwork and funny cartoons to famous brand designs (e.g., Rick & Morty, RAW, Hello Kitty), almost anything is available. A rolling tray can be just as much an expression of your style as your grinder or your vape.
Are rolling trays dishwasher-safe or heat-resistant?
Metal and silicone trays can usually be easily wiped clean or even put in the dishwasher. Wooden trays or those with printed designs should be cleaned by hand. Please avoid open flames or hot surfaces – the material can warp or be damaged.
Are there rolling tray sets with accessories?
Yes, some manufacturers offer complete sets – including a mixing bowl, filter tips, papers, storage container, or mini grinder. Ideal as a gift or starter kit for beginners.
Is it possible to design or print a rolling tray yourself?
Custom rolling trays with your own design are possible in the DIY sector, for example via laser engraving or printing services. In the Viweedy shop, we currently offer pre-made designs – but personalized versions are in the works.
Which material is best suited for beginners?
If you're new to this, we recommend a lightweight metal or silicone tray. These are non-slip, durable, and easy to clean – perfect for everyday use.
