An HC Customer Service Rep can provide you with a freight quote prior to shipping. Freight charges will vary based on order size and shipping zone. Freight charges will be added to the invoice at the time of shipping.

The zone is determined based on the shipping location. Therefore, if your business has multiple locations, your zone number could vary. There are currently only three freight zones which Customer Service can clarify.

If your freight arrives damaged, it is important to accept the shipment in order to document the claim correctly. Once received in your warehouse, contact an HC Customer Service Rep immediately so the claim can be processed and adjustments can be made.

Yes, we can custom print on our greenhouse and nursery containers. Our printing is done in-house directly on your selected containers with traditional silkscreen printing using films and screens. We also offer custom design services with your provided branding. Please note that custom printing is not available on all containers (this will be noted on the individual product pages). We also offer adhesive labeling services for SKU numbers and other product information.

We offer a wide array of popular standard colors for the majority of our containers. You’ll find what standard colors a container is available in on their individual product pages. If you do not see any options, it’s only available in the photographed color. We do have the capability to provide customer colors, but they are based on a minimum quantity order, require additional production time and would need to be discussed with a sales representative.

The HC Companies believes in utilizing every last bit of material when manufacturing containers to eliminate waste and the impact on our environment. Our team of material specialists utilizes recycled materials and our own re-grind materials that would otherwise go to a landfill with minimal variation in the finished product. Read more here.

Our EcoGrow® and FiberGrow® environmentally-friendly containers are manufactured in our plant in Burlington, Canada. The process includes using recycled materials (such as newspaper or newsprint) in a closed-loop water recycling system, which eliminates wastewater discharge. Our EcoGrow containers are certified for organic use in the United States and Canada. Learn more here.

At this time, only our consumer containers are available for purchase online through Amazon.
