Plantopia's Christopher Haley says the company have already completed the design of a marketing tray and these will be available in several pot sizes.

Products include a carry tray, 13cm pot and a Jumbo 6 pack, which fit 14 per Danish Trolley shelf and 2,000 on a pallet.

The pots and packs are designed to be machine compatible and the materials science involved will allow a robust product up to the point of sale, combined with the ability to plant pot and all without root disturbance.

The company will be on stand C 6 &7 at Four Oaks trade show in Cheshire on 6-7 September.
