As costs continue to rise, nurseries are looking for smarter ways to save. TDI’s U.S.-made plastic grow bags offer a cost-effective, reliable solution—so what makes these flexible containers such a smart choice?

Save With Plastic Grow Bags

Flexible nursery bags offer a wide range of benefits—cost savings being one of their greatest advantages.

“Each potted plant in rigid plastic containers costs almost 2-3 times more than TDI’s filled plant grow bags. It’s because these mediums are thicker, contain more soil, and absorb more water.“  

What makes poly plant bags so cost-effective? Several key factors contribute to their savings advantage.

With less material processed during manufacturing, they are significantly more economical than other products on the market. 

Less Fuel 

Because of a lighter total weight, less fuel is needed during transportation, so that reduces shipping costs.

In between planting seasons, these bags can easily be folded and stored, so they take a lot less storage space.

Eco-Friendly

Logically, less material requires less energy during production. So this means that they leave a lower carbon footprint behind.

Another benefit is that TDI’s plastic grow bags are oftentimes reusable, or recyclable for future repurpose.

Save More with Narrow Grow Bags

One type of grow bag that is small and tubular in shape, offers additional benefits, thanks to its compact size. They’re also known as Seed Bags.
