Nursery Supplies PI-PC Nursery Container | Trade #10 - Black - Round - 15.25in D x 14.5in H - 10.26gal (Case of 10)

Rigid, Injection-Molded Container Built to Stack in Tiers, 15.25in D x 14.5in H

Stacking a bay of pots for storage or shipping only works cleanly if the containers themselves are rigid enough to hold their shape under stacked weight, which a flexible blow-molded pot isn't built for. Nursery Supplies' PI-PC Nursery Container is injection-molded instead of blow-molded, producing a rigid container designed to stack in tiers without collapsing or nesting too tightly to separate.

This Trade #10 size (15.25in D x 14.5in H, 10.26gal) fits larger production stock needing rigid stacking.

Key Features & Benefits

• Injection-molded construction — produces a rigid container rather than the flexible material used in Nursery Supplies' blow-molded lines.
• Tier-stackable design — holds its shape under stacked weight for cleaner storage and shipping.
• Squat and standard trade sizing — offered across trade classes to match different plant stages.
• Round profile — fits standard bench spacing and handling equipment.

Who Should Use This PI-PC Container

Growers who need containers that hold their shape when stacked in tiers for storage or shipping, rather than a flexible blow-molded pot, fit this rigid injection-molded line.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "PI-PC" refer to?

It designates this as an injection-molded plastic container, distinct from Nursery Supplies' flexible blow-molded pot lines, which is why it carries the rigid, tier-stackable properties those other lines don't. That construction difference is the main reason to choose PI-PC over a flexible economy pot.

Why does rigidity matter for stacking?

A rigid container holds its shape under the weight of pots stacked on top of it, which keeps a stacked tier from collapsing or the pots from nesting so tightly they're hard to separate. A flexible pot, by contrast, can deform enough under stacked weight to jam a tier together.

Is this pot flexible like Nursery Supplies' blow-molded lines?

No, it's injection-molded rather than blow-molded, which produces a more rigid container than the flexible material used in lines like the Blow-Molded Custom Trade Pot. That rigidity is the defining difference between the two manufacturing processes.

What sizes are available?

This batch includes a Squat Trade #5 size and a Trade #10 size; check the listed dimensions and gallon capacity to match your plant stage. Ask your distributor about other PI-PC container sizes outside this batch.

How does this container perform on automated handling equipment?

Its rigid, tier-stackable design supports standard nursery handling and storage systems, though growers should confirm compatibility with their specific automated equipment. Its consistent wall thickness from injection molding also helps it behave predictably on a line.
