Imported · made to order

Custom made to order.
Held to our standard.

Our imported range is designed by POBOX and custom made to order at our overseas factory — fabricated and powdercoated to your colour, then packed and shipped to the highest standard. Every order is put through our rigorous quality control, with independent third-party inspection and final checks engaged on larger project orders. It's how we deliver beautifully made planters with the consistency and value that scale allows.

POBOX-designed imported planters made to order

Quality, by design

How we do imported, properly

Designed by POBOX

Every imported planter is our design and our specification — drawn by the same studio behind our custom work. You're buying a POBOX planter.

Custom made to order

Made to your size and finish for the project — not pulled off a generic shelf. Considered design, manufactured to suit.

Powdercoated to order

Finished in your chosen colour at the factory to a durable architectural standard, built to perform in Australian conditions.

Rigorous quality control

Every order passes POBOX QC standards, with documented checks carried through fabrication, finishing and packing.

Independent third-party inspection

On larger project orders we engage third-party QC and final pre-shipment checks — so what arrives is exactly what was specified.

Packed & shipped to the highest standard

Protected for transit and delivered Australia-wide, ready to install — the same care from factory floor to site.

Quality control and final inspection of planters

Straight talk

Why we're open about it

Plenty of suppliers import and stay quiet about it. We don't. Being upfront about where and how a product is made — and the quality controls around it — is how we earn the trust of the architects, builders and homeowners we work with.

Whether your project is best served by our Australian-made or imported range, we'll point you the right way. Often the smartest result is a considered mix of both — local where it counts, imported where it makes sense.

Australian Made vs Imported

Both ranges are designed by POBOX and built to the same quality standard. The difference is how and where they're made — and what each does best.
