Wooden Crates For Hampers

We always choose the best timber for the job! We manufacture wooden gift crates from Paulownia and Acacia that are inexpensive, yet high-quality, making them a great non-traditional alternative to a wicker hamper basket.

Sweets, cheese, miniatures, and other dinky items fit perfectly inside our small gift crates. Be sure to add a handful of FSC approved wood wool in the bottom so they won't get lost. This natural pairing complements organic, vegan, and eco-friendly products.

We frequently supply dark wooden crates to wine merchants, farm shops, and delis for creating gift hampers. These rustic wooden crates can fit one or two bottles and look great on the shelf too.

We know that quality gift packaging can enhance the perceived value of a product. However, we believe in sustainability and extending the life of products, which is why all our wooden crate boxes can be regifted or repurposed around the home.

Sure, as long as they're not overloaded. Heaps of our grocer, farm shop, and deli clients purchase our large wooden crates for creating fruit and veg boxes, which their customers love! Using wooden crates for retail display is another option. You should check out CrateWall if you haven't already.

For orders over 1,000 units we can help you customise wooden crates with your own branding or logo. We've done this for top brands such as Kettle, The Co-operative and The Snaffling Pig. Visit Gadsby Plus or give us a call for more information!

If you're not sure where to start, our Hamper Hub should provide you with enough marketing ideas and opportunities. Use them as hooks to theme your hampers on. Just pick the relevant events that fit your brand.

Of course, you don't have to stick to these themes. There are a lot of unique ways to create wooden crate gift boxes and hampers throughout the year. Looking at your product line might provide you with more inspiration; look for recurring themes or styles.

Make sure you don't just pile your gift crate with similar-looking items; make it fun and appealing to your customers' senses. Use colour, scent, texture, and taste combinations to differentiate your hampers from your competitors.

The number of components you put in your crate hamper will vary based on the size of your wooden crate or crate gift box. You should select items that are both affordable and desirable based on the demographic of your customer.

To make your crate hampers a success, they must be presented well. Effectively done, they'll be a big draw for customers and boost sales.

Consider using the pyramid technique to help you arrange products. Place large items in centre, and smaller things towards the edges. Alternatively stick to the rule of thirds and try to group products in threes.

It's important to consider how the hamper will appear on display or when the recipient opens it. There's an opportunity here for you to build brand awareness and increase customer loyalty.

Wooden crates don't require much dressing. Non-traditional gift packaging like this is attractive because of its natural and rustic appearance.

To complement the sustainable packaging choice, we suggest using FSC approved wood wool as a backdrop for your products to be presented on.

Sticking with the rustic theme, use jute rope as an alternative to ribbon to finish with a bow and kraft tag. Wrap the twine around the crate several times for a beautiful finish.

It's that easy!
