Roskam Pty Ltd is the worldwide agent for the Japanese company Nakayama ltd. Nakayama Ltd specialises in the manufacturing of gerbera cups and gerbera cup machines.
Each gerbera flower is individually protected with a small plastic sleeve. Therefor the gerbera flower will handle the transport period much better without damaging the flower.
By using the gerbera cups, the gerbera flower will arrive at the florist or wholesaler in top quality and as a result reduce the chance of claims.
The advantages of using Japanese cups compare to boxes or Flower rackets are
- Each gerbera flowers is individually protected
- The transport cost per gerbera are lower
- Reducing transport cost by up to 50%

- You could use the gerbera cup-machine to put the cups on, which saves labour
- Gerbera cups are perforated and therefore less chance for botrytis or mould during transport
- Easy to remove from the gerberas
- Visually more attractive
