Strong locking mechanism – always positioned above a logo – keeps tags with the plants, not on the floor; evenallows gardeners to pick up the plant by the tag.

Innovative tag printing allows consumers to bend the tag down and easily read plant details right-side up without removing the tag.

Self-Symetricize technology eliminates the need to spin containers and line up tags – just let the trays do all the work automatically – keeping the grower’s bench and the retailer’s display looking good.

Strong branding message with the ProvenWinners logo appearing below the tag.

Our Grande™ container perfectly fits a gardener’s hand, and because it’s 1" taller than a 4.50 Classic™ container, garden centers can charge at least 50¢ more.

Guaranteed success or your money back.*

QR Code provides variety-specific consumer information.

Thousands of commercials in 28 radio markets will carry this message: “Easily find Proven Winners plants in their branded white containers at local garden centers.”

All Proven Winners tags are bilingual –English/Spanish in the United States.

Each size container has a specific UPC and custom UPCs are available.

A Powerful PackageThe Proven Winners white container stands out. And you can see why. From its distinctive color and branding to its innovative tag design and technology, it’s a powerful package for growers and retailers. And for consumers it’s hard to resist because they know it means quality.

* If the extra cost of the Proven Winners Proven Package does not help you sell our plants faster and more profitably than when not selling in our container, we will refund you 4 cents USD on 4.25 Grande™, 4.50 Classic™, 6.50, and 1.0 QT containers, and 8 cents USD on 1.0 GL Royale™ containers.
