PAINTED WOODEN CRATES AND BOXES

Engraved or printed logo on wooden crates

Silkscreen printing is the most cost-effective method for branding wooden crates, provided the order quantity is at least 200 units. The initial setup costs for silkscreen printing are relatively high, making the unit price significantly dependent on the quantity ordered.

Typically, logos are printed in a single color on a wooden plank, which is later attached to the crate. A major limitation of silkscreen printing is its difficulty in accommodating multi-color prints or gradient designs, as this significantly increases costs or may even be unfeasible for large color areas.

In most cases, high-quality single-color silkscreen prints are indistinguishable from digital prints.

Digital full-color printing on wooden crates

Digital printing is the second most popular method for branding wooden crates. This is the most advanced printing technique, allowing for full-color logos, intricate designs, and even high-resolution images—something that is impossible with silkscreen printing.

Digital printing is the most cost-efficient option for small to medium production runs and large color areas. For a more vivid color effect, a white base coat is often applied underneath the printed design. Additionally, printing up to the edges of the crate is possible, but it comes at an extra cost due to additional preparation work.

Engraving on wooden crates

Engraving is a widely used method for personalizing wooden crates. However, engraving is the slowest of all techniques, making it relatively expensive. Intricate details may not always be well-represented. Pricing is determined by the engraving area and the number of units.

Despite its cost, engraving adds an exclusive touch to branding, allowing for various effects:

a) Engraving filled with paint
b) Engraving with logo highlighted.
c) Engraving with recessed logo.
d) Engraving on a dark surface.
e) Engraving on a light surface with a burning effect.
f) Etched and then painted.
g) Engraving on hardwood.

Burned logo on wooden crates

Burning logos onto wooden crates is one of the oldest branding methods. However, the cost increases significantly if the logo is large. For high-quality burning, the logo must be small and simple, avoiding intricate details.

The setup cost for burning (mold production) is relatively high, making it most cost-effective for orders starting at 300 units. This method is ideal for achieving a natural or vintage aesthetic. However, it is important to note that burned logos may appear slightly different on various wood surfaces.

Wooden crate manufacturing and customization

The production of wooden crates with logos involves 50% to 70% handcrafting, with nailing being the most labor-intensive step. Since crate manufacturing is not a fully automated process, ColorwoodLatvia offers various size options, small production runs, and diverse logo application methods.

The optimal order quantity for cost efficiency starts at 50 crates, with size playing a crucial role in optimizing transport costs. To minimize logistics expenses, we recommend choosing dimensions that allow crates to nest inside one another, reducing transport volume by one-third.
