Full Depth Plastic Frames (Uncoated, 33mm or 35mm End Bar Width)
We have been proudly manufacturing high-quality plastic frames in New Zealand since 2000, using virgin food-grade plastic and our own custom dies. As pioneers in the industry, we invented the black plastic frame, which is now the global standard. Black frames make it easier to spot white eggs and young larvae in their cells.
- Carton Size: 50 Frames per carton
- Pallet Size: 800 frames per pallet (16 cartons)
Why Choose Plastic?
Plastic frames are more durable, efficient, and cost-effective compared to wooden frames. They don't blow out in the extractor, preserving good drawn comb and saving bees energy. This leads to a higher surplus of honey.
We offer Full Depth Plastic Frames with two different end bar widths:
- 33mm (New Zealand standard)
- 35mm (Most common in other parts of the world, including Australia)
Beeswax Coating
The frames come "uncoated" and require a thin beeswax coating to encourage comb drawing. You can do this yourself as a winter project, or we can coat them for you for an additional fee.
Custom Colours
We can mould frames in any colour to help beekeepers track the age of comb or discard old comb. Coloured plastic frames come at an extra cost due to the higher price of food-grade coloured plastic.
