The Pros of Laser Engraving

Wooden gift packaging has become more popular in both eco-friendly and premium packaging solutions. As sustainability becomes more of a concern for consumers and businesses, wooden packaging offers an environmentally responsible alternative to plastic and other non-recyclable materials.

In addition to its green appeal, wooden packaging exudes a sense of luxury and craftsmanship. It also provides a perfect base for laser engraving. Within this post, we’ll share just a handful of reasons why laser engraving your products is a great idea.

Precision & Detail

Create intricate designs using laser engraving. Engraving text onto wooden surfaces provides a highly accurate finish and adds the luxurious feel a lot of customers are looking for. This kind of precision allows us to brand your bottle boxes with a variety of messaging, logos and brand names.

For example, if you’re creating a Christmas hamper range but want to add more than just your brand logo or name, engraving ‘Merry Christmas’ or ‘Happy Holidays could work perfectly. This kind of messaging also offers product longevity - recipients of the gift can keep the product for years to come and reuse or re-gift.

Eco-Friendly Branding

We’ve already touched on the eco-appeal of wooden bottle boxes but what about the actual laser engraving itself? Well, as the name suggests we don’t use ink when we laser engrave, making it a clean and sustainable way to brand products.

Instead, it’s a laser beam that is focused onto the wood using lenses to create a fine point, again, making it super precise. The heat from the laser beam removes layers of material and creates a mark, the result is a smooth, permanent engraving that’s resistant to abrasion.

Cost-Effective Customisation Option

Our products are priced competitively, for example, our wooden bottle boxes can be as low as £2.80 + VAT per unit, depending on how many you buy. Our bamboo boards start from £1.72 + VAT and slate boards are from £2.40 + VAT. Though less of a sustainable option, some people prefer the look of engraved slate as opposed to engraved wood.

If you’re after a simple design then this can keep costs down, more complex designs require more time and set up so can sometimes be a little more expensive to produce.

Fast Delivery Times

Laser engraving is one of our fast-branding options. Why can we produce it so quickly and of such high quality? Laser engraving is a very quick process as our bottle boxes and boards are a smaller size and we stick to less complex designs, generally.

Once we have your artwork ready (produced by our in-house design team for your approval) we’re able to produce the laser engraved products in around 1-2 weeks. This is for smaller numbers as we’re able to produce the branding here in the UK.
