SUNPACK Heavy-Duty 1020 Shallow Tray - 10in × 20in - Orange - No Drainage Holes

Reusable 1020 Tray for Microgreens and Seed Starting - Orange - No Drainage Holes

Microgreen and seed-starting operations that reuse the same trays cycle after cycle need a tray that survives repeated washing without cracking, warping, or leaching anything into an edible crop. The Sunpack Heavy-Duty 1020 Shallow Tray is molded from food-safe, BPA-free plastic in the standard 10in x 20in (1020) footprint growers already build benches, racks, and dome covers around, and it ships in both a solid-bottom and a perforated-bottom configuration to match different watering methods.

This orange tray is the solid-bottom, no-drainage configuration: it holds a shallow water reservoir in place, making it the right choice for capillary-mat watering or flood-and-drain setups rather than overhead irrigation. The orange color also gives growers running several trays side by side a fast way to tell crops, planting dates, or bench zones apart at a glance.

Key Features & Benefits

• Food-safe, BPA-free plastic — molded for direct contact with edible crops such as microgreens, sprouts, and wheatgrass.
• Two bottom configurations — available with a solid, leak-proof bottom for capillary-mat and flood-and-drain systems, or a perforated bottom that drains freely for top watering -- check the product title for which one you're ordering.
• Heavy-duty multi-season build — resists cracking and warping through repeated wash-and-reuse cycles rather than needing yearly replacement.
• Standard 10in x 20in (1020) footprint — fits existing 1020 racks, benches, and humidity dome covers without any resizing.
• Multiple color options — lets growers color-code trays by crop, planting date, or bench zone across a multi-tray operation.

Who Should Use This

Microgreen growers, seed-starting hobbyists, and commercial propagators are the core fit for this tray line -- pick the solid-bottom version for capillary-mat or flood-and-drain watering, or the perforated version for overhead watering or direct media seeding. It also suits any grower who color-codes trays by crop or planting date across a multi-bench operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tray safe for growing edible crops like microgreens?

Yes, the tray is molded from food-safe, BPA-free plastic, so it is appropriate for direct contact with edible crops such as microgreens, sprouts, and wheatgrass. No liner is required for food-safety purposes, though growers still sanitize trays between crops as standard practice.

How many growing seasons will this tray last?

The heavy-duty construction is built to survive repeated wash-and-reuse cycles across multiple growing seasons rather than needing yearly replacement. Rinsing and sanitizing the tray between crops, rather than scrubbing it with abrasive tools, helps it hold up longest.

What is the difference between the drainage and no-drainage versions?

The no-drainage version has a solid bottom that holds a shallow water reservoir in place, which suits capillary-mat and flood-and-drain systems. The with-drainage version has bottom holes instead, letting water pass through rather than pool, which suits growers feeding from above or seeding directly onto media.

Will this tray fit under a standard 1020 humidity dome?

Yes, the 10in x 20in footprint matches the standard 1020 format, so it works with the humidity dome covers most seed-starting and propagation setups already use. No adapter or trimming is needed.

How do I choose between the two bottom configurations?

Choose the solid-bottom, no-drainage tray if you're watering from below with a capillary mat or flood-and-drain tray stand, since it needs to hold that reservoir in place. Choose the perforated, with-drainage tray if you water from above or seed directly onto growing media, since it needs to shed excess water instead.
