Frequently asked questions
Straight answers on ordering, lead times, custom manufacturing, fire and UV specification, and inspection — the questions buyers ask most often before placing a commercial artificial plant order.
Ordering
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our MOQ is typically 1 piece for sample orders. For bulk orders we recommend at least 10 pieces to optimise shipping costs. Quantities are discussed against your actual project, so a mixed or phased order is workable.
Do you supply samples before a bulk order?
Yes — sample orders start from 1 piece. For custom trees, samples are produced against your drawing or reference image so you can approve foliage grade, colour and finish before committing to production volume.
Can I inspect the goods before shipment?
Yes, and we encourage it. In-house QC covers every unit, and we welcome third-party inspection (SGS, BV, TÜV) at our factory before the container is sealed.
What payment terms do you offer?
Terms are agreed per order and are typically a deposit with the balance against shipping documents. Exact terms depend on order value, production duration and whether the order is custom or catalogue. Request terms with your quotation.
Production & lead time
How long does production take?
Standard products: 7–15 days. Custom artificial trees: 20–45 days depending on complexity and height. Large-scale projects may require 30–60 days. A detailed timeline is issued with your quotation.
Can you make custom artificial trees?
Yes — customisation is the core of what we do. We customise height (1 m – 15 m), trunk design, leaf material, colour, shape and base structure. Send a drawing or reference image for a consultation with our engineering team.
What is the maximum height you can manufacture?
We manufacture artificial trees from 1 m up to 15 m. Trees above roughly 6 m are supplied as segmented trunks that assemble on site, which is what allows oversized specimens to be shipped by standard container.
Specification: materials, fire & UV
What materials are your artificial trees made from?
Trunks are built from steel and fibreglass structures. Foliage is manufactured from UV-stabilised polyethylene and PVC depending on the grade specified. Fire-retardant grades use treated foliage and structural materials. The exact material mix is stated on the datasheet for each model.
Are your artificial plants fire retardant?
We offer fire-retardant options tested to NFPA 701 and BS 5867, with EN 13501-1 available for fixed green walls. This matters most for indoor commercial space — hotels, malls, restaurants and venues. See our guide to fire-rated artificial green walls under NFPA and BS EN for which standards apply where.
Do your products come with UV protection?
All outdoor-rated products include UV protection. Standard protection lasts three years; our premium range offers up to five years of UV resistance. Specify the outdoor grade at enquiry stage — it changes the material and the price. Our UV-resistant outdoor artificial plants guide explains how to specify for sun exposure.
Shipping & installation
How do you handle shipping and logistics?
We ship worldwide by sea freight, air freight and express courier (DHL, FedEx, UPS). For large projects sea freight is the cost-efficient route. Packing is designed so oversized trees arrive buildable.
Who installs a large artificial tree?
Usually your own fit-out or landscape contractor. Trunks are segmented and keyed, canopies are packed in numbered bags, and every oversized order ships with a written assembly sequence. We also supply installation support remotely.
