Rolling Tray Sizes: Choosing the Right One

Rolling trays come in various sizes, and picking the right one affects your workspace efficiency and portability. This guide helps you choose the perfect size for your rolling habits and lifestyle.

Quick Answer

For solo use, choose small (7"×5") or medium (10"×6") trays. For group sessions, go with large (12"×8") or extra-large sizes. Travel requires compact trays with lids. Consider your typical session size, available storage space, and whether portability matters.

Common Size Mistakes

Mistake 1: Going Too Small

Problem: Cramped workspace, spillage over edges

Solution: When in doubt, size up. A little extra room is better than constantly managing spillage.

Mistake 2: Going Too Large

Problem: Wasted space, harder to store, unnecessary expense

Solution: Be realistic about your actual use. Solo users rarely need large trays.

Mistake 3: Forgetting About Storage

Problem: Tray doesn't fit in intended storage space

Solution: Measure your storage area before buying. Consider trays with lids for stacking.

Mistake 4: Ignoring Depth

Problem: Shallow trays spill easily

Solution: Look for raised edges at least 0.5 inches high. Higher edges = better containment.

---

Final Recommendation

For most people: Start with a medium-sized tray (10"×6"). It's versatile enough for solo sessions and small groups, portable enough for occasional travel, and priced reasonably.

If you find it too small after use, upgrade to large. If you want more portability, add a small travel tray. Building your collection lets you match tray to situation.
