SUNPACK Extra Strength Propagation Tray - 14in × 22in - Black

Reinforced Tray for Oversized Pots and Non-Standard Flats, 14x22in

Standard 1020 trays run out of room fast once a crop moves into 1-gallon or larger containers, or a bench needs a non-standard flat layout the 10in x 20in format was never sized for. The Sunpack Extra-Strength Propagation Tray scales the brand's food-safe, heavy-duty tray construction up to a 14in x 22in footprint, adding reinforced sides and lips so a fully loaded tray can still be carried safely.

In Black, this tray is built for growers working with oversized pots, larger flat configurations, or bench layouts that fall outside the standard 1020 grid. Deep-channel bottom ridges keep containers elevated above any standing water rather than sitting flush against the tray floor.

Key Features & Benefits

• Larger 14in x 22in format — accommodates oversized pots and non-standard flat layouts that exceed the standard 1020 footprint.
• Reinforced sides and lips — support safe carrying even when the tray is fully loaded with wet media and containers.
• Deep-channel bottom ridges — keep containers elevated and stable above standing water rather than sitting flush against the tray floor.
• Extra-strength construction — holds up under heavier growing loads than the brand's standard-duty 1020 tray line.
• Light-blocking Black finish — limits light penetration into the tray, which helps discourage algae growth in standing water.

Who Should Use This

This tray fits growers moving containers past what a standard 10in x 20in tray can hold, including nurseries running non-standard flat sizes or benches with 1-gallon and larger pots. The reinforced build also suits anyone who regularly carries a fully loaded tray rather than leaving it in place on a bench.

About Sunpack

Sunpack's extra-strength tray line sits alongside its standard 1020 trays, giving growers a heavier-duty option built to the same food-safe standard once container sizes or flat layouts outgrow the 1020 format.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as a standard 1020 tray?

No, at 14in x 22in this tray is larger than the standard 10in x 20in 1020 format, so it will not fit standard 1020 racking. It is intended for open benching or tables that can accommodate the wider dimension.

Does this tray have drainage holes?

This tray has a solid bottom with deep-channel ridges rather than perforated drainage holes, so it holds water at the base while keeping containers elevated above it. Pair it with a separate catch tray if your setup also needs active drainage.

What pot sizes work best in this tray?

The 14in x 22in format comfortably fits 1-gallon and larger containers, with the deep-channel ridges helping stabilize a range of container base sizes. Smaller pots or standard nursery flats are still better suited to the brand's 1020-format trays.

How many growing seasons can this tray hold up for?

The extra-strength construction is built for multi-season reuse and can withstand repeated cleaning and sanitizing between crops. Rinsing rather than scrubbing with abrasive tools helps the finish hold up longest.

Why does the color matter for a propagation tray?

The Black finish limits how much light reaches standing water in the tray, which helps keep algae growth down compared to a translucent or light-colored tray. It also gives a clean, uniform look across a bench of mixed container sizes.
