Branding Wooden Products at Custom Craft

 

Laser Engraving on Wood

In a world where consumers have more choices than ever, brands must find ways to stand out from the crowd. One way to do this is with laser engraving. Laser engraving uses a concentrated beam of light to create an image on a substrate. This process can be used on various materials, but it’s especially well-suited for wood. Laser-engraved wood has a unique look that helps it stand out from other printed materials. The rich colours of the wood are brought out by the laser engraving process, resulting in a stunning visual that is sure to capture attention.

Eco-Friendly Branding

Laser engraving is an eco-friendly branding method. It uses a high-powered laser beam to vaporize material, meaning no harmful chemicals or pollutants are produced in the process. Because the laser beam is so precise, very little material is wasted, making it up to four times more efficient than traditional engraving methods.

UV Printing on Wood

Traditional branding methods on wood can be time-consuming and can result in a subpar product. UV printing gives you high-quality, long-lasting results that open a new world of possibilities for brands that want to stand out from the crowd. Custom Craft headquarters is home to state-of-the-art UV print machines enabling us to handle large volume demand in a timely fashion.

Environmentally Friendly

Durability

UV Printing on Wood Applications

UV printing is incredibly versatile and can be applied to a wide range of wooden products. Whether it’s branding on wooden boxes or luxury wooden packaging, the high-quality, vibrant colours and sharp details make your products stand out.

Wooden signs and point-of-sale products & displays benefit from the scratch and fade-resistant nature of UV prints.

Promotional products like keychains, coasters, and more can be produced quickly and in large quantities without compromising on quality.

UV printing also extends to wooden decor products, offering a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish that can last for years.

Hot Stamping on Wood: The Art of Luxury Branding

Hot stamping is more than just a branding technique; it’s an art form that elevates your wooden products to a new level of luxury and sophistication. Utilising heat and pressure, hot stamping transfers metallic foil or rich pigments onto wooden surfaces, creating an opulent finish that is both visually stunning and tactilely pleasing.

Elegant and Durable

One of the standout features of hot stamping is its durability. Unlike other methods, the metallic or pigmented foils used in hot stamping are incredibly resistant to fading, peeling, or wear and tear. This ensures that your branding remains as elegant as the day it was applied, offering a timeless look that resonates with quality and luxury.

Versatility in Application

Hot stamping is not limited to a single type of wooden product. Its versatility allows for its application on a wide range of items, from premium wooden packaging and high-end wooden signs to intricate wooden plaques and badges. Its adaptability makes it a go-to solution for businesses looking to diversify their product offerings without compromising on quality.

Eco-Friendly and Efficient

In addition to its aesthetic benefits, hot stamping is an eco-friendly option. The process doesn’t require solvents or produce waste, aligning with sustainable business practices. Moreover, hot stamping is highly efficient, allowing for quick turnaround times without sacrificing the end product’s quality.
