Transporting your purchases: packaging and trolleys
At Royal FloraHolland, you can count on reliable and predictable logistics. Our solutions allow you to set up your logistics as easily, flexibly and efficiently as possible.
The transport of plants and flowers requires care and attention. Specially designed product carriers (packaging) ensure good protection for your purchases. No matter which packaging unit you choose, it will fit perfectly on the load carriers (auction trolleys or CC containers) that we have available. This results in the smoothest and most efficient possible transportation while maintaining quality.
Plenty of choice
There are various sustainable solutions for protecting and transporting your flowers and plants. We offer you plenty of choice. For instance, you can select multi-use flower buckets, support shelving or flower boxes and plant trays. Is reusable packaging not an option? Then recyclable flower and plant boxes or plant trays are good alternatives. Load carriers, such as trolleys or CC containers, can also easily be arranged with us.
Collecting and returning: clean packaging and trolleys are always available
We ensure the transport packaging you need are always available. Returns and collections of packaging should be registered in advance in Packaging Online, and you can visit us during our long opening hours at all of our hubs. We have a well-functioning return and deposit system for our flower buckets. The same goes for some of the plant trays. Once returned, we ensure the packaging units are cleaned and ready for the next user.
You will find auction trolley buffers at the supply locations during opening hours at all the hubs. Auction trolleys can only be taken outside our buildings with lock plates. You can hire lock plates at the lock plate counters. We remove (unlock) the lock plates during supply times, as well as outside regular opening hours and public holidays.
Do you have or rent a box at a Royal FloraHolland hub and want to use trolleys in your box? This can be arranged very easily with a box contract. During the busiest periods of the year, we sometimes use Internal Overnight Rental to increase our auction trolley pool. With our free Internal Overnight Rental notification service, you will immediately know for which night in the peak period internal overnight rental applies. You can then remove any auction trolleys that you don’t need in your box in time.
Well-functioning CC containers and plates can also be collected from or returned to our hubs. In Logistics Supplies online, you will find your complete lock plate and CC container administration, which are always up to date and available 24/7. This gives control of your logistics costs.

Sustainable packaging together
The shift to more sustainable packaging use is an important development in the floriculture market and also a central focus for us. Your customers are demanding this change, too. Therefore, we’re not making our transport packing more environmentally friendly alone, but in close collaboration with buyers and growers. This makes it valuable to the whole floriculture chain. Take, for example, our participation in Euro Plant Tray. This is an opportunity to jointly achieve a standardised European plant tray system.
Rody Peters Logistics Project Manager at FM Group on Easy Returns
Royal FloraHolland makes life easier for us. Our products are collected and counted. The Danish trolleys and packaging are restacked and collected, and the balance is immediately credited to our bank account. Perfect! Easy Returns allows us to reconfigure our own logistics process and gives us more space for our core business: processing flowers.
