Decoration Methods

We offer three methods of decoration: laser engraving, full color UV printing and fire branding. All three options look amazing when applied to the surface of the box, and each has their own distinctive look.

1. Laser Engraving

Our most popular method is laser engraving. This is a very precise method of cutting into the wood with a laser. On natural wood, the image is a shade darker. On stained wood, the image is the color of natural pine. In this case, the finished design will look almost exactly like the original image. The only difference you may see is wood grain and small wood knots.

2. Full-color UV Printing

Our second, (and newest!) decoration option is full-color UV printing. You aren't limited to just one color, but now have the option of full four color process imprinting. Please contact your account exec for pricing and artwork guidelines

3. Fire Branding

For fire branding, we use what looks like an actual cattle brand and burn the logo into the wood. This is not available on the clear acrylic. We love the style a fire brand creates, and we always want the client to know what to expect. It creates a very rustic look and not one impression will look exactly like the next. This is due to the natural variation in the wood, the pressure applied, the high heat of the branding environment, and the presence of sap in the wood. We recommend this method most when the client logo is free of intricate elements as the natural burn achieved with a fire brand may obscure the finer details in the image. Please ask your account executive if your logo is ideal for fire branding. Please note, this method also adds three weeks to the lead time, so it’s usually a great option for orders with plenty of lead time.
