Emboss/Deboss: 3D logos formed in the mold for long-term branding.
Labels/QR: removable stickers or QR for care guides, campaigns, or warranty.

5) Functional Details

Drainage: preset hole patterns, removable plugs, or self-watering reservoirs.

How the Order Process Works

Brief
Tell us the basics: material, target markets (indoor/outdoor), color codes, size range, logo method, quantity.
Design & Sampling
We return dielines/3D mockups.

Printed/IML samples: usually 5–10 days after artwork approval.
Embossed logo: requires a tooling insert (we confirm cost/time up front).

Tooling (if needed)
New shapes or embossed branding may need new molds or inserts. We’ll advise if your target volumes justify the investment.
Production
Mass production begins after sample sign-off. We keep color swatches and QC checkpoints for consistency.
Quality Control
Drop tests, UV tests (as required), print adhesion checks, drainage accuracy, and carton integrity.
Shipping
Stack-packed to maximize container space. Palletization or retail-ready trays available.

MOQs, Lead Times & Pricing (typical ranges)

MOQ: 500–3,000 pcs per size/color for printing; higher for IML or new molds.
Sampling: ~7–10 days for print; 15–25 days if new tooling.
Lead time: ~20–35 days after deposit & artwork approval.
Pricing factors: resin type, additives, size/weight, branding method, carton plan, and order volume.

Artwork & File Tips

Logo files: AI/EPS (vector) preferred; 300 dpi+ for images.
Color: Provide Pantone C/U references; we’ll send pre-production swatches.
Print area: Ask for our template to avoid placing key text on draft angles or ribs.

Choosing the Right Pot Size (simple rule of thumb)

Repotting: move up by 2–5 cm in diameter relative to the plant’s current pot.
Shallow roots (succulents, herbs): wider, lower bowls.
Deep roots (tomatoes, shrubs): taller cylinders with stable bases.
Outdoor sun: insist on UV-stabilized material and darker colors or UV-additives to resist fading.

Sustainability Options

PCR (post-consumer recycled) blends: 30–80% where feasible.
Mono-material construction for easier recycling.
Minimal ink coverage or embossed logos to reduce print and make recycling friendlier.
Take-back programs: we can mark resin codes and provide recycling guidance for your market.

Frequently Asked (Short)

Q1: Can I mix sizes and colors in one order?
Yes—most buyers split the MOQ across a size family and 2–3 colors.

Q2: Will the color fade outdoors?
We use UV-stabilized resins and masterbatches; ask for your sun-exposure rating when ordering.

Q3: What logo method lasts longest?
IML is the most durable for full-wrap graphics; embossing never scratches off.

Q4: Do you offer self-watering designs?
Yes—integrated reservoirs, wicks, or hidden fill ports are available.
