20 years ago a nursery in our town went out of business and the lady gave me a large amount of regular square, six-cell, commercial plant containers - brand new and nested. I used them for years and years until I ran-out a couple years ago. Most plastic trays are made to accomodate those. The new ones now are made of lighter plastic and difficult to reuse, no matter how careful you are.

Have you looked at the square pots sold at novosel? Verys nice pots I am happy with my purchases (note no direct involvement with this company just a satisfied customer)
