The Aeroplas AC6 Eco-Grey is a professional 6 cell bedding pack designed for commercial growers, nurseries and plant retailers. Measuring approximately 21 x 18cm, its six individual growing cells provide more growing space per plant than the AC9 while retaining a compact, efficient production-to-retail format.

Each pack contains six separate growing cells, allowing plants to develop individually while remaining grouped together as one convenient unit for nursery handling, stock management, distribution and retail presentation.

Manufactured from post-consumer recycled PET (RPET), the AC6 offers a practical alternative to traditional polystyrene bedding packs. Its thermoformed construction is lightweight and suited to the demands of high-volume professional horticultural production.

The Eco-Grey finish gives the pack a neutral contemporary appearance, while integrated label slots provide a dedicated location for compatible plant identification and retail labels.

Manufactured in the West Midlands by UK horticultural manufacturer Aeroplas, the AC6 is designed specifically around the requirements of professional growers and the garden retail supply chain.

The packs are supplied in an outer case quantity of 400. A full pallet contains 16 cases, giving a total pallet quantity of 6,400 AC6 bedding packs.

UK manufactured by Aeroplas

Aeroplas is a West Midlands-based UK manufacturer specialising in plastic products for professional horticulture. Its range includes bedding packs, nursery pots, carry trays and associated products developed specifically for commercial growers, nurseries and plant retailers.

The AC range reflects this specialist horticultural focus, combining practical crop production with features intended to simplify identification, handling and presentation as plants progress through the nursery and into retail.

Post-consumer recycled PET construction

The Aeroplas AC6 is manufactured using post-consumer recycled PET, commonly known as RPET. This uses plastic recovered from previous consumer use as material for a new horticultural product.

RPET provides the lightweight thermoformed construction required for commercial bedding packs while reducing reliance on virgin plastic feedstock.

The resulting Eco-Grey appearance gives the AC6 a distinctive neutral finish and provides a clear visual alternative to traditional black or green plant packaging.

Six generous cells for bedding plant production

The AC6 divides its approximately 21 x 18cm footprint between six individual growing positions. This provides each plant with its own cell while keeping all six together as one convenient production unit.

Compared with the nine-cell AC9 format, the AC6 provides fewer individual positions across a similar overall footprint. This makes it useful where a crop benefits from a more generous individual growing cell or is intended to reach a more developed stage before sale.

Complete packs can be organised by cultivar, flower colour, production batch or customer order, helping growers maintain clearly defined crop groups throughout suitable stages of production.

Integrated plant label positions

Reliable identification is particularly important in bedding plant production, where multiple cultivars and colours may look similar during early growth.

The AC6 incorporates integrated label slots for compatible labels. These can be used for plant names, variety information, barcodes, pricing, care instructions or branded retail information depending on the grower's chosen labelling system.

Keeping the label associated with the pack helps maintain identification as plants move through production, picking, distribution and retail display.

Ideal for bedding & seasonal plant programmes

The six-cell format can suit a range of appropriate crops, including:

  • Seasonal bedding plants
  • Young flowering plants
  • Seed-raised plants
  • Suitable rooted cuttings
  • Herbs
  • Vegetable starter plants
  • Compact ornamental plants
  • Retail seasonal multipacks

Crop suitability will depend on the species, growth rate, root development and the period for which the plants are expected to remain within the cells.

Practical production-to-retail multipack

The AC6 provides a defined six-plant unit that can simplify both professional production and retail merchandising.

Where suitable for the crop, plants can remain grouped within the same pack through growing, handling, wholesale distribution and eventual retail sale. This avoids the need to assemble six individual plants into a separate multipack later in the supply chain.

For customers, a six-plant pack provides a useful quantity for planting containers, beds and borders while keeping the individual plants together during transport from the retailer.

400 packs per case & 16 cases per pallet

The Aeroplas AC6 is supplied in commercial quantities intended for professional bedding plant production.

Each case contains 400 individual AC6 bedding packs. With six growing cells in each pack, one complete case provides 2,400 individual plant positions.

A full pallet contains 16 cases. At 400 packs per case, this gives a total pallet quantity of 6,400 bedding packs.

With six cells in each pack, a full pallet provides 38,400 individual plant positions.
