UK manufactured by Aeroplas

Aeroplas is a West Midlands-based UK manufacturer specialising in plastic products for professional horticulture. Its range includes nursery pots, bedding packs, carry trays and related products developed around the requirements of commercial plant production.

The AC range combines practical growing and handling features with materials selected for modern horticultural packaging requirements. Features such as individual growing cells, integrated label positions and convenient handling are intended to support the complete journey from nursery production through to retail.

Post-consumer recycled PET bedding pack

The AC9 is manufactured using post-consumer recycled PET, commonly known as RPET. This incorporates plastic recovered from previous consumer use into the manufacture of a new horticultural product.

The material provides the lightweight thermoformed construction required for high-volume bedding plant packaging while reducing reliance on virgin plastic feedstock.

The resulting Eco-Grey appearance provides a visual distinction from conventional black or green bedding packs and complements the pack's recycled-material construction.

Nine individual cells for efficient plant production

The AC9 divides the pack into nine individual growing positions. Each plant develops within its own cell while remaining grouped with the rest of the pack for handling and stock management.

A nine-cell format provides a useful balance between individual growing space and plant count, making it suitable for appropriate bedding and young plant crops intended for multipack sale.

Complete packs can be allocated to particular varieties, colours or production batches, helping commercial growers keep crops organised as they progress through suitable stages of nursery production.

Integrated labelling for crop identification

Clear plant identification is important throughout commercial nursery production, particularly where multiple varieties or colours are grown alongside one another.

The AC9 incorporates integrated label slots, providing dedicated positions for compatible labels. Depending on the label system being used, these can carry variety information, barcodes, care instructions, pricing or other retail information.

Integrating the label position into the bedding pack helps keep identification associated with the correct group of plants as stock moves through production and distribution.

Ideal for bedding & young plant programmes

The nine-cell format can be suitable for 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, root development, growth rate and the length of time the plants are expected to remain within the individual cells.

Production-to-retail presentation

Where suitable for the crop, the AC9 allows nine individual plants to remain together from nursery production through to retail presentation.

This creates a clearly defined sales unit for retailers while reducing the need to transfer individual plants into separate retail packaging after production.

For customers, a nine-plant pack provides a useful quantity for planting containers, beds and borders, particularly for seasonal colour schemes where several plants are required together.

400 packs per case & 16 cases per pallet

The Aeroplas AC9 is supplied in commercial quantities suitable for professional bedding plant production.

Each case contains 400 individual AC9 bedding packs. With nine cells in every pack, one complete case provides 3,600 individual plant positions.

A full pallet contains 16 cases, equivalent to a pallet quantity of 6,400 packs.

At nine cells per pack, a full pallet therefore provides 57,600 individual plant positions.
