Format Euro
The game-changing standard for production
In a production workshop, every detail matters. The choice of seedling tray format is one of them. Yet, it is often treated as a secondary decision—wrongly. The format determines compatibility with your equipment, the organization of your storage, delivery logistics, and batch consistency. This is why the Euro format has gradually become the international reference standard for professional plant production.
The Euro format measures 60 × 40 cm. These dimensions are not arbitrary: they were defined to meet the real constraints of major producers and industrial nurserymen. Result: universal compatibility with mechanical seeders, automatic transplanters, conveyors, and tunnel germination systems.
Whatever your equipment, a SPID Euro format tray integrates seamlessly without adaptation. For workshops modernizing their machinery fleet progressively, this is a tangible advantage: no incompatibility, no costly reorganization, no nasty surprises.
The Euro format was also designed with logistics in mind. Its dimensions match exactly the standards of delivery rolls, horticultural pallets, and transport packaging used throughout the sector. Trays stack, store, and ship effortlessly with zero wasted space.
For nurserymen delivering plants to retailers or directly to producers, this translates into better-controlled transport costs and much simpler day-to-day management of empty containers.
SPID Euro format trays are manufactured from high-quality rigid polypropylene. Their lifespan exceeds 15 years under intensive professional use, and cell geometry remains stable season after season. No deformation. No volume variation. Each cycle starts under strictly identical conditions to the previous one.
Between uses, the smooth surface makes cleaning and disinfection easy—an essential point in greenhouse production, where sanitary pressure is high and cross-contamination can be costly. Over five to ten seasons, the cost per cycle of a SPID tray is incomparable to that of a disposable container.
Adopting the SPID Euro format means choosing a proven industrial standard that simplifies your production, secures your investments, and integrates into any professional workshop. It's the format of producers who want to move fast, produce well, and never do the same work twice.
