Plastic clips secure the plant to the support twine. Special care should be taken to ensure that the plastic clip is securely attached to the twine so that it does its job properly.

The main advantages of plastic clips are that they are easy to use, and they hold the twine and the plant firmly in place without damaging the stem. On the other hand, the process of attaching of plastic clips is slow, the material is non-compostable, and the costs for recycling, transport and storage are high.

TomSystem is the clipping tool that combines all the benefits of plastic clips with additional advantages.

TomSystem increases efficiency as up to 1,600 plants per hour can be clipped resulting in cost savings, as labour requirements are reduced.

The use of TomSystem, like plastic clips, prevents stem breakage, but also offers a number of advantages that make it unique in the sector: the staples are compostable and the cost of recycling, transport and storage is low. A comprehensive after-sales service is also provided, which includes customer service, maintenance, spare parts, repairs and technical support.
