Custom Rolling Trays Wholesale: Counter Space You Don't Pay Rent For
A rolling tray is basically a tidy and self-contained area to work on - it helps keep your herbs from making a mess on the counter and catches any bits that fall off. But if you get a custom rolling tray with your own logo on it, that's a whole different story. Not only does it do all the same things, but it also sits on your customer's coffee table every day, serving as a constant reminder of your brand. This is the idea behind custom rolling trays wholesale - it's a type of branded merchandise that people actually use every day and display in their homes all the time.
We carry 12+ styles across metal, wood, bamboo, LED, and biodegradable builds, from $1.00 promotional cardstock to a $42 CNC-machined aluminum piece. Minimums start at 25 units on most styles.

Metal Rolling Trays — Where Most Buyers Start (and Stay)
A metal rolling tray is something you can use every day, it's tough and can handle being used a lot, and it's easy to clean. When you get a design printed on it, the picture comes out really clear, even if it's a detailed drawing. We have a few different kinds of metal rolling trays, like the Tin Rolling Tray, which is our best seller. It's a classic metal tray with a full-color print that goes all the way to the edges, and it has rolled safety edges so you don't get hurt. We sell these for between $5 and $10, which is a price that smoke shops have been happy to pay for years. We also have a version with a magnetic lid, which keeps everything inside and the lid can even be used as a second tray. This one starts at $7.00. If you want something really nice, we have the Aluminum Rolling Tray, which starts at $42.00. This one is made with high-quality aluminum and has edges that are cut with a special machine, so it's built to last and people tend to keep it for a long time instead of throwing it away.
Wood & Bamboo Trays
If you're someone who thinks about what your stuff is made of, then bamboo and hardwood trays are worth the money. They have a special kind of branding that's burned into the material, so it doesn't come off easily. There are a few different options: the Bamboo Rolling Tray, which is a classic choice for people who care about the environment, starts at $36.00. The Mini Bamboo Oval is a bit different, it's not a rectangle, so it stands out on a shelf, and it starts at $33.00. The Bamboozled hardwood tray is a bit more expensive, starting at $38.50, but it has special compartments to keep things from moving around. And if you're a brand that wants to be eco-friendly but doesn't want to spend a lot of money, there's the BioTray+, which is fully biodegradable and starts at $8.75.
LED, Specialty & Budget Trays
The LED Rolling Tray is a pretty cool thing - it's powered by a USB rechargeable battery and it lights up your logo from underneath, which is a nice touch. Some lounges use them as display pieces, and they really stand out at trade show booths, so they're hard to miss. Then there's the 5-in-1 Grinder Tray Booklet, which is a great bundle that includes papers, tips, a tray, a poker, and a grinder card all in one branded package, and it's available from just $3.25. The LED Rolling Tray, on the other hand, starts at $12.00, but it's a unique item that can really help you get noticed.
For a low cost, you can get the Paper Rolling Tray, which starts at $1.00, or the Folded Rolling Tray, starting at $1.50 - this one comes flat and is easy to ship. These are great for events, mailing out to people, or using as samples at trade shows. They're not meant to be super durable, but they're perfect for getting your logo out there without breaking the bank - all for under $2.
Grinder and Tray Sets
Our custom grinders and trays are a top pick - and it's easy to see why. When you order them together, you get a matching set that looks great, and you only need to approve one design and wait for one delivery. Plus, the counter display looks like a real product line, not just a one-time thing. If you already have branded grinders, adding a metal tray that matches is a simple way to take your program to the next level. It's a low-effort way to make a big impact and grow your brand.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the minimum order?
Most trays usually begin with 25 to 50 units. But for paper trays, the minimum is 100 units, and that's because of the costs that come with setting up a print job.
How long does production take?
2–4 weeks from artwork approval, with rush available on metal and paper trays.
Can I print both sides?
Yes — metal trays can run different designs top and bottom. Brands often use the underside for secondary branding or a promo message.
Are the trays food-safe?
Metal trays use food-grade coatings. They're designed for dry herb, not food prep.
Which material prints best?
Dye-sub on steel for full-color artwork; laser engraving on bamboo and aluminum for the permanent, premium look.
What file format do you need?
Vector (AI, EPS, PDF) preferred; 300 DPI PNG works. Free mockup before anything prints.
