The VIBES Mingo Rolling Tray is a limited edition metal tray built for rollers who want a reliable surface that doesn't look like every other tray on the shelf. At 11 by 6 inches, this medium-sized tray fits comfortably on a desk, nightstand, or coffee table without hogging space, while still giving you enough room to spread out your papers, filters, and flower.
Why this tray works
- No spillage drama — precise depth keeps your flower contained instead of scattered across the couch
- Clean rolls every time — flat, glossy surface means papers glide and material doesn't stick
- Wipe and done — smooth metal cleans up with a quick pass, no scrubbing required
- Won't dent your bag — lightweight metal travels easy without adding bulk
- Rounded corners — no sharp edges catching your fingers or scratching surfaces
- Actually looks good — VIBES branding and the Mingo design stand out from generic black trays
Best for
This tray fits rollers who want something between a cramped pocket tray and a massive station that takes over the whole table. The medium size handles a typical session without feeling cluttered. Good pick for apartment dwellers, dorm setups, or anyone who rolls at a desk and needs to clear space quickly when company shows up.
How to use it
Pretty straightforward — set it down, dump your flower, and roll. The raised edges create a natural bowl shape that funnels everything toward the center, so you're not chasing crumbs to the corners. The glossy finish means you can tap out your grinder directly onto the surface without worrying about material getting stuck in texture or grooves.
When you're done, tilt the tray over your container to pour back any leftovers, then wipe down with a dry cloth. For stickier residue, a damp paper towel handles it. Some folks hit it with a quick iso wipe once a week if they're particular about keeping that glossy finish pristine.
The lightweight build also makes this a solid travel companion. Slides into a backpack pocket or laptop sleeve without adding real weight, and the metal construction means you're not worried about cracking it like you would with cheaper plastic options.
About the limited edition design
VIBES dropped the Mingo design as part of a limited run — once these are gone, they're gone. The brand is known for collaborating with artists and putting out eye-catching designs that collectors actually want to display rather than hide in a drawer. If you're the type who cares about aesthetics in your smoking setup, this scratches that itch.

Frequently asked questions
Is this tray big enough to roll on comfortably?
At 11 by 6 inches, the medium gives you solid workspace for rolling standard joints or cones. You can fit your grinder, papers, and a small container on there with room to work. If you're rolling multiple at once or prefer a lot of elbow room, size up. For single-session rolling, this handles it fine.
Will the design scratch or fade over time?
The glossy finish holds up well to normal use — wiping, tapping out grinders, general rolling wear. Sharp metal objects or abrasive scrubbing could scratch it, so don't use steel wool to clean. Treat it like you would any printed metal surface and it'll stay looking good.
Can I use this for anything besides rolling?
People use these for all kinds of stuff — organizing dab tools, catching ash, holding small accessories. The raised edges make it useful as a general catch-all tray. Some folks keep one by the rig to corral caps, dabbers, and q-tips.
How does this compare to silicone trays?
Metal trays like this give you a hard, flat surface that's better for rolling — papers sit flush and you can use a card to scrape material without the flex you get from silicone. Silicone trays are more forgiving if dropped and work better for sticky concentrates. For dry herb rolling, metal is the standard for a reason.
Is the depth enough to keep flower from spilling?
The edges are raised enough to contain a normal amount of ground flower. It's not a deep bowl — more like a shallow dish with curved walls that funnel material back toward center. Won't save you if you dump a whole ounce, but for session amounts it works.
What makes this different from a generic rolling tray?
Build quality and design. Cheap trays often have rough edges, flimsy metal that dents, or printing that peels. VIBES uses heavier gauge metal with proper finishing. The limited edition artwork is also a step up from the standard weed-leaf-and-rasta graphics you see everywhere. According to Leafly's roundup of rolling accessories, tray quality actually affects your rolling experience more than most people expect.
Will this fit in a standard backpack?
At 11 by 6 inches, it slides into most laptop pockets or backpack compartments. The lightweight metal means you won't notice it's there. Just make sure whatever pocket you're using is wide enough — the rigid metal obviously won't fold or flex to fit tight spots.
