Procona containers come in a range of sizes, and there are more differences too. The table below gives an overview of the key aspects for the various Procona containers. There are also more detailed explanations.
1 Capacity/strength of flower-filled container in driving truck at 2 Impact resistance is a standard for strength for falls and bumps of single containers or a stack of empty containers. 3 Height of a single, empty container when stacked on the pallet. 4 Procona containers come in these standard colours. The actual material used is white (milk white, semi-transparent). Other colours available on request. 5 The number of Procona containers supplied empty and stacked on pallets measuring 100 x 
Nesting height (1)Bottom (2)
All Procona containers have a slightly inward curving underside. Hence, the container is always resting on the outsides of the bottom. This ensures that the container rolls better on rollways and is stable on the ground.
Extended corners (3)
On every corner of the container (at the edge of the collar) the edges are extended downwards. When the pallet with Proconas filled with flowers makes a sliding movement – this prevents the containers getting caught up together. And this way the pallet always remains stable.
Following transportation the collar can also be placed under the container. The corners underneath prevent the collar from sliding away – and the collar also functions as display. Water level mark (4)
Inside every Procona container is a line to show the preferred water level. With the transparent version of Procona containers the water level and line can be seen from the outside.
Material Procona containers are made of 100% virgin polypropylene copolymer. This type of plastic is rigid, robust and can be recycled. Ribbed bottom (5)
The bottom of the container features various ribs in a rectangular design. The bunches of flowers in the Procona container can’t slide away and stay in place better.
Hand grips (6)
The sides are thicker at the position of the hand grips. This is to prevent users cutting themselves on the container. With this in mind the edges are also rounded off.
Ventilation grid (7)
There are ventilation grids on the sides of the Amsterdam and Valencia containers. This helps ventilation flows in the container. All containers (except Florida 18, and containers with closed hand grips) have hand grips. These openings also help ventilation flows in the packaging.
Holes in the edge (8)
There are holes in the upper edges of all Procona containers. After the Procona containers have been washed water remains behind the ribs underneath the edge. The holes in the edge allow the water to drain away. This is important as water/dampness can wilt the corrugated collar which is positioned along the edge.
