What is a rolling tray?
A rolling tray is a flat surface for mixing and rolling tobacco or herbal blends without anything ending up on the table. It is also called a rolling mat or a mixing tray.
Most trays are metal or wooden trays with a raised edge. They work well as long as they sit on a table. They are too big to carry, and whatever is left after mixing lies open on top.
FALTER is a rolling tray that folds. Open, it lies flat like any other tray. Four folds turn it into a sealed pouch that measures just 75 × 52.5 mm in the Pocket size.
Compared
Four types, one difference.
A tray, a tray with a lid and a tobacco pouch each solve part of the job. FALTER combines the surface with the closure.
| Tray | Tray with lid | Tobacco pouch | FALTER | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Surface for mixing | Yes | Yes | No | Yes |
| Closes | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Fits in a pocket | No | No | Yes | Yes |
| Turns into a channel for filling | No | No | No | Yes |
| Carries tobacco, papers and filters | No | No | Yes | No |
A tobacco pouch carries your supply, FALTER is the surface that goes with it. It takes along whatever is left after mixing.
Sizes
How big is a rolling tray?
Small trays usually measure between about 18 × 14 cm and 29 × 19 cm (7 × 5.5 in to 11.4 × 7.5 in), and larger models go beyond that. That is comfortable on a table and awkward in a pocket.
| Open | Stowed | |
|---|---|---|
| Tray | from 180 × 140 mm | same as open |
| 150 × 105 mm | 75 × 52.5 mm | |
| Home | 210 × 148 mm | 105 × 74 mm |
For comparison: a credit card measures 85.6 × 54 mm.
What is the difference between a rolling tray and a mixing bowl?
A mixing bowl is a small bowl with a high rim for mixing. A rolling tray is flatter and larger, so you can also roll on it. FALTER lies flat like a tray, and the first fold turns it into a channel you fill from.
Is there a rolling tray for on the go?
Yes, that is what FALTER Pocket is built for. Open, it is a 150 × 105 mm mixing surface. Folded, it is a sealed 75 × 52.5 mm pouch that fits in your pocket.
What is a rolling tray with a lid?
A rolling tray with a lid has a second part that sits on the tray and holds the contents in place, often with magnets. The tray itself stays as big as it is. With FALTER, the lid is a flap on the card itself, and the closed pouch folds in half once more.
What size should a rolling tray be?
For mixing you need room for both hands. FALTER Pocket offers 150 × 105 mm and is made to carry. If you only mix at home, take FALTER Home at 210 × 148 mm, the size of an A5 sheet (about 8.3 × 5.8 in).
