Dillen® 1020 Injection-Molded Flat — Standard Medium Weight with TagSlot, 21.13in L x 10.5in W x 2.5in H

This flat is injection-molded from quality blended recycled raw materials with additives, a process that adds flexibility and holds consistent dimensions across high-volume production. Built for the pace of commercial plant propagation, this flat runs reliably through automated filling and handling equipment, holding consistent throughput across high-volume production. The standard format integrates with existing standard 1020 rack, bench, and dome-cover systems.

The medium-weight gauge splits the difference between lightweight and heavy-weight flats for general commercial use. A built-in tag slot supports quick variety and traceability labeling without a separate clip or stake. Sold 50/BD, 54BD/PL, legacy code 05-1015.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between vacuum-formed and injection-molded flats?

Vacuum-formed flats are shaped by drawing heated plastic sheet over a mold, typically yielding very consistent gauge and dimensional accuracy. Injection-molded flats are formed by injecting molten plastic into a mold, which allows blended recycled raw materials with additives to be worked into the mix.

How does the Medium Weight designation compare to other flats in this series?

Weight designation refers to the material gauge and structural strength used in the flat. Medium Weight sits between the lightweight and heavy-weight options, a reasonable default for general commercial propagation use.

Is this flat compatible with automated filling equipment?

Yes, HC Companies Dillen® flats are designed for consistent performance in automated filling and handling equipment used in commercial greenhouse production. That consistency is what keeps throughput steady run after run.

What is the case quantity for this flat?

Sold 50/BD, 54BD/PL. Contact Cannavista for pallet-level pricing and availability.

What crops is this flat recommended for?

HC Companies Dillen® 1020 flats are used across bedding plants, herbs, perennials, and a wide range of greenhouse and retail propagation crops. The flat itself is crop-agnostic; insert choice is what narrows it to a specific crop format.
