T.O. Plastics Standard 1020 Web Flat Tray - 10.75in × 21.26in × 2.37in - Solid Sided - 50-Pack

Web-Reinforced Solid-Sided Flat Tray for Automated Production Lines

A flat tray that flexes or buckles under an automated handling arm can jam a production line or drop trays mid-transfer, which is a bigger problem at commercial scale than a single tray sagging on a shelf. T.O. Plastics built this Standard 1020 Web Flat Tray with a webbed underside structure specifically for the added strength and stability automated lines need, in a solid-sided format rather than an open-mesh design.

Sized 10.75in x 21.26in x 2.37in, this tray minimizes insert buckling and unwanted movement during handling, shipping 50 per case for commercial greenhouse and retail production.

Key Features & Benefits

• Webbed underside structure — adds strength and stability beyond a standard flat tray's ribbing.
• Solid-sided design — contains loose media and water differently than an open-mesh flat tray.
• Minimizes insert buckling and movement — keeps loaded inserts stable through automated handling.
• 50-pack case — supports outfitting a commercial production run.

Who Should Use This Tray

This fits commercial greenhouse and retail operations running automated or semi-automated handling lines that need a flat tray sturdy enough to avoid buckling or shifting under repeated mechanical handling.

About T.O. Plastics

T.O. Plastics has been thermoforming plastic trays for growers since 1948, and today operates as part of Otter Tail Corporation from two Minnesota manufacturing sites. The company reclaims large volumes of plastic resin each year and builds that recycled material into its horticultural tray and insert products.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the webbed underside structure do?

The webbed structure reinforces the tray from below, giving it more strength and stability than a standard flat tray's ribbing alone. This matters most on automated handling lines, where a tray that flexes or buckles can jam equipment or drop its load.

How is this different from T.O. Plastics' standard 1020 Flat Tray?

This Web Flat Tray adds webbed reinforcement and a solid-sided design specifically for automated production line durability, while the standard 1020 Flat Tray line offers a simpler ribbed structure with or without drainage holes. Choose the web flat tray when your handling equipment demands extra rigidity.

Does this tray have drainage holes?

No, this is a solid-sided tray rather than a drainage or mesh design, so it holds water or solution at the tray level rather than letting it pass through. Confirm this matches your watering method before ordering.

How many trays come in a case?

This tray ships 50 per case. Order enough cases to match your production run so trays do not run out mid-cycle.
