T.O. Plastics Standard 1020 Flat Tray - 10.94in × 21.44in × 2.44in - With Drainage Holes - 100-Pack-Pack

Standard 1020 Flat Tray With Drainage for Overhead Watering

A flat tray without drainage has no way to release excess water, which can leave media waterlogged and roots starved of oxygen if you are watering from above. T.O. Plastics' Standard 1020 Flat Tray with drainage holes solves that by letting excess water pass straight through, while a ribbed structure underneath keeps the tray from buckling under the weight of loaded inserts.

Sold 100-pack per case, this tray is sized for commercial greenhouse and retail operations running standard 1020 inserts through automated or semi-automated handling lines.

Key Features & Benefits

• Drainage holes — let excess irrigation water pass through instead of pooling around plant roots.
• Ribbed structural design — resists buckling under the weight of a fully loaded 1020 insert.
• Automation-compatible sizing — fits standard 1020 handling equipment used in commercial greenhouse and retail operations.
• 100-pack case — supports outfitting a full production run in one order.

Who Should Use This Tray

This fits growers watering 1020 inserts from overhead who need excess water to drain through rather than pool in the tray, in commercial greenhouse, retail, or automated production settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the drainage-hole version over the solid version?

Choose drainage holes when you water from overhead or otherwise need excess irrigation water to pass through the tray rather than collecting at the bottom. Standing water around roots after overhead watering can lead to oxygen-starved root zones, which drainage holes prevent.

Will the ribbed structure hold up under a full load of inserts?

Yes, the ribbed underside is built specifically to resist buckling under the weight of a fully loaded standard 1020 insert. This keeps the tray flat and stable through handling rather than sagging in the middle.

Is this tray compatible with automated handling lines?

Yes, this tray is sized to standard 1020 dimensions used across commercial greenhouse and retail automation equipment. It is built to move through the same handling lines as other standard 1020 trays and inserts.

How many trays come in a case?

This tray ships 100 per case, sized for commercial-scale production runs. Order enough cases to match your insert count so trays and inserts run out together.
