A 15-store plant boutique chain needed premium ceramic bonsai pots with their store logo embossed. We produced 8,000 custom pots across 12 designs, maintaining brand consistency and quality at scale.
Challenge
Green Haven needed pots that matched their high-end brand image — natural materials, unique glazes, and subtle logo placement that didn't compromise the organic look.
Our Solution
Our team developed 12 unique glaze formulas, tested 3 embossing techniques, and created custom packaging that doubled as retail display. Delivered in 4 weeks.
Result:
The collection sold out in 6 weeks. Reorder rate increased 3x, and the pots became their top-performing private label category. Customer satisfaction score: 4.8/5.

A tech-focused plant subscription service needed smart self-watering planters with IoT features for 5,000 subscribers per month. We designed and manufactured a line that became their most popular box.
Challenge
The planter needed to be affordable (subscription profit margins are tight), IoT-capable (moisture sensor + LED indicator), visually appealing, and durable for shipping.
Our Solution
We engineered a minimalist ceramic planter with embedded moisture sensor and subtle LED ring. The companion app integration was handled by PlantBox's dev team using our provided API specs.
Result:
Customer satisfaction score of 4.9/5. 40% re-subscription rate attributed to planter quality. PlantBox expanded to 3 more planter SKUs within 6 months.
