Best for
Choose piggy banks & money boxes if your moment is youth banking and kids' savings accounts, financial literacy programs and school partnerships or super fund and retirement-brand welcome gifts.
Youth banking and kids' savings accounts
Classic pink ceramic piggy banks or playful animal-shaped money boxes with a pad-printed brand mark — the piece that opens an account conversation at the kitchen table and stays on the shelf for years.
Financial literacy programs and school partnerships
Tinplate money boxes with three-slot counting compartments (save, spend, share) work beautifully for school visits and community programs — print the brand tone-on-tone and let the educational moment lead.
Super fund and retirement-brand welcome gifts
A stoneware or bamboo-composite money box with a quietly debossed mark reads as grown-up — the piece that lives on a bookshelf rather than a child's bedroom, carrying the brand into the long game.
Real estate and new-home moments
Housewarming packs with a small ceramic house-shaped money box, a seeded card and branded tissue — a gracious gesture at settlement that the new owners remember for years.
“The ceramic piggy banks arrived beautifully packed and the glaze picked up our brand pink exactly as the proof promised. Families have been sending us photos of them on kitchen shelves for months — which is every brand manager's dream.”
“The Sense2 team understood the financial literacy brief so quickly — the three-slot counting box landed perfectly for our school program and teachers asked if they could order more. Thoughtful, considered, and delivered ahead of schedule.”
“We've reordered our settlement-day money boxes with Sense2 three times now — they remember our brand codes beautifully and always suggest something fresh for the season.”

How to choose
Start with the audience, because a money box lives in someone's home for a long time — that's the part we enjoy most about this brief. For kids' banking and youth accounts, classic ceramic piggy banks in brand palette colours are the reference point: glossy finish, pad-printed logo on the flank, removable silicone stopper on the underside so the piece can be emptied and refilled. A ceramic decal (kiln-fired) reads more premium than pad print, holds colour vibrancy indefinitely and survives the dishwasher if the family ever needs it to. For financial literacy programs and community partnerships, tinplate money boxes with a lithograph-printed wrap let you go full-colour edge-to-edge — ideal if the brand has a patterned identity or you want illustration to carry the message. Three-slot counting boxes (save, spend, share) work beautifully here and genuinely teach something, which is the kind of utility that keeps a piece on the desk. For adult and premium audiences — super funds, wealth advisers, settlement gifts — step across to stoneware, bamboo composite, or recycled ABS in architectural shapes. A tone-on-tone deboss or a single laser-engraved mark reads quietly confident. Avoid full-colour wraps here; the piece wants to feel like an object, not a promotion. On sustainability: we stock recycled-ABS money boxes, FSC-certified card coin boxes and bamboo-composite designs for briefs where the material story matters. Ceramic is inherently long-life, which is its own sustainability argument — the piece that stays in a home for a decade has a better cost-per-impression story than almost anything else in the catalogue. MOQs typically start at 100-250 for stocked shapes and 500+ for custom moulds. Budget 15-25 business days for standard runs. And always order a sample. The weight in the hand, the glaze depth, the print register on a curved ceramic surface — these decide it. Forty-eight hours to your desk, Australia-wide.
Pricing guidance
Pricing rule of thumb: at 100 units with a 1-colour pad print, a classic ceramic piggy bank sits around AU$6.50-$12, a tinplate money box AU$4.50-$9, a three-slot counting box AU$11-$18, a stoneware or bamboo-composite premium piece AU$18-$28. At 500 units those drop 20-35%. Full-colour ceramic decals add AU$1.20-$2.80 per unit. Tinplate litho-wrap is typically included in unit price at 500+. Setup AU$55-$120 per colour depending on method, once-off.

Frequently asked questions
What's the minimum order for custom piggy banks and money boxes?▾
Most stocked ceramic and tinplate money boxes start at 100-250 units with a pad print or decal. Custom-mould ceramic shapes typically start at 500 units. Premium stoneware and bamboo-composite lines often have a 100-piece minimum. For 1,000+ briefs expect 25-40% off the 100-qty tier — ask for a stepped quote across 100, 250, 500 and 1,000.
How long do custom money boxes take to produce and deliver in Australia?▾
Standard lead time is 15-25 business days from artwork approval, because ceramic and tinplate decoration involves kiln firing or lithograph curing. Stocked lines can run express in 10-14 days. For launch windows and school-year briefs we'll plan backwards from your drop date and lock in dispatch from our Sydney warehouse.
What branding methods work best on piggy banks?▾
Pad print is the most common method for small brand marks on curved ceramic surfaces. For full-colour or patterned identities, ceramic decals (kiln-fired) give depth and longevity. Tinplate money boxes suit full-wrap lithograph printing. Stoneware and bamboo-composite pieces take laser engraving or tone-on-tone deboss beautifully for premium audiences.
Can I see a sample before I order?▾
Yes. Free samples ship Australia-wide, dispatched within 48 hours from our Sydney warehouse. Pre-production samples with your actual artwork — kiln-fired decal proofs, pad-print register checks — are available on larger runs. After 30 years of ceramic briefs, we know the glaze depth and print register are what the board decides on, never the spec sheet alone.
Do you offer eco-friendly money box options?▾
Yes. Our eco range includes recycled-ABS money boxes, FSC-certified card coin boxes, bamboo-composite designs and stoneware with low-fire glazes. Ceramic is inherently long-life, which carries its own sustainability story — a piece that lives on a shelf for a decade outperforms almost any other promotional item on cost-per-impression.
Are the money boxes safe for children?▾
Yes. Our ceramic, tinplate and recycled-ABS money boxes meet Australian consumer product safety standards for children's items, with smooth edges, non-toxic glazes and paints, and secure coin slots. Certification documentation is available on request for financial literacy programs and school partnerships.
