Summit Plastic Co. is introducing a new line of pots to help growers and retailers improve productivity, save space and reduce costs.

The line of pots has been named 3D Systems because they provide “Direction, Dimension and Display.”

The pots are a unique shape (not round or square) and have a flat display panel with corresponding trays to keep all pots oriented in the proper position. The flat front provides a “billboard” for a label or branding/merchandising message.

“Summits new 3D line of pots is truly a new widget in the horticultural container industry. The natural orientation of the main display panel provides a terrific and consistent branding platform,” said Chuck Snyder, vice president-operations, at Summit.

The pots help save time because they only fit in a tray one way eliminating the chance for misplacement, replacement or spinning to orient labels. They are designed for use in automated production operations.

The 3D pots are available in five sizes with matching trays (1 pint, 1 quart, 1.25 quart, 2.5 quart and 3 quart). These reduced footprint sizes help save space during production, shipping and at retail. “Growers and retailers will benefit from their improved footprint which provides substantially more pots per square foot,” Snyder said.

Snyder said Summit has been working with growers to develop the 3D program and that their input was integral in the development of the new pots and trays.

The 3D Systems will debut this week at the TPIE Show in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
