Dutch Flower Bucket – Returnable Plastic Crates for Flowers

A dutch flower bucket is the European floral industry container used to transport flowers, and to keep them watered

The use of dutch flower bucket is increasing in Europe in particular in the supply to florists and the wholesale markets.

It is a patented design from Royal FloraHolland, a Dutch conglomerate of florists.[2] The bucket is made of hard plastic, and is stackable. There are three main sizes.

All flowers exported by truck from the Netherlands towards the main continental European countries and the United Kingdom are delivered to customers via Dutch buckets stored on trolleys. The bucket is only temporarily borrowed, and a tally inventory of quantities delivered to each shop is kept. The bucket is expected to be collected empty by the truck driver on the return voyage; if the bucket is not returned a fee is charged.
