A grow bag that only comes in black limits what a retailer can put on a shelf and what a grower can use to tell two crops apart. This one runs in black, tan and a stone grey that reads as woven bark rather than plastic sheet. Under the colour it is the same non-woven felt, so the wall breathes and drains and the root ball comes out fibrous at planting out. The handles are fold-over patches stitched into the wall, which spread the load better than a narrow loop.
A grow bag that only comes in black limits what a retailer can put on a shelf and what a grower can use to tell one crop from another in a row.
The bag runs in black, tan and a stone grey that reads as woven bark rather than plastic sheet, which matters when the bag is part of how a product looks on a bench. Under the colour it is the same non-woven felt: air reaches the root zone, surplus water leaves through the wall instead of collecting at the base, and roots meet air at the face and stop rather than coiling. The colour is dyed through the felt rather than printed on it, so it does not flake off in the wet.
The range covers 5, 10, 20 and 30 gallon, which takes herbs and salad at one end and potatoes, tomatoes and young trees at the other. Growers use them on patios, balconies and nursery rows, and the colours let a programme separate varieties without labelling every bag. Customised logo printing is available on programme quantities. The wall system is shared across the air pruning pot range.

The handles are patches rather than loops: a square of the same felt is folded over and stitched into the wall, so the pull is spread across the whole patch instead of running along one seam. When the bag is empty the patches lie flat and the bag folds down square, which is why a pile of them stores in a fraction of the space a stack of pots takes. Smaller propagation formats sit alongside in the seedling and propagation range.
Tell us the diameters, volumes and colours your programme works to, since the fabric is needled and dyed to order and a printed logo can be added on programme quantities. Orders ship in bags, on pallets or in cartons, and the flat bag stores in a fraction of the space a stack of rigid pots takes. The wider soft container range sits in the planting bag range. Container and growing media supply is covered at HortiDaily and FreshPlaza.
Does the colour come off in the wet?
The felt is dyed through rather than printed, so the colour is part of the fibre and does not flake away when the bag is watered or washed.
Why are the handles patches rather than straps?
A folded patch is stitched into the wall over a wide area, so the load spreads across the felt instead of running along one seam.
How are bulk orders packed?
In bags, on pallets or in cartons, with mixed sizes and colours combined in one load.
Tell us the sizes, colours and quantities your programme needs, and we will come back with the packing plan, sample and lead time.
