Natural Finish Wood Boxes

What Makes Natural Finish Wood Boxes Special?

Our artisans at Teals Prairie & Co. turn harvested pine wood into handcraft natural finish wood boxes. Each gift box has a beautiful finish of clear varnish. This light coat of varnish refreshingly exposes the wood’s natural texture and color.

Every natural finish wood box is suitable for a wide range of celebrations and events. They are great for New Year celebrations, baby showers, and other engagements. Each one works best during occasions with a strong theme. That’s because the natural wood finish will never clash with any theme colors. Furthermore, if your event takes place at the beach or in the open, then this box is the perfect complement for the outdoors.

LASER ENGRAVING

As laser engraving burns a wood box surface to expose an inner layer, it’s best to use with wood box finishes that produce contrasting colors. Although natural wood boxes may not provide the highest contrast engraving surface, it still might produce a subtle personalization style that you enjoy. Here are some reasons to go with engraving or opt for another customization method.

Strengths of Laser Engraving

  • Affordably personalize a wood box with branding, product, or event information.
  • A great option when you have a high resolution engravable graphic.
  • Provides permanent marking and an heirloom quality to each wood box.
  • The engraving process burns a layer of the box surface, creating a unique aromatic smell.

Weaknesses of Laser Engraving

  • Engraving as a standalone personalization method cannot add color to a wood box.
  • Without color your illustration needs to carry the design and make a memorable statement.
  • Incorporating a theme must be done by adding another personalization method to the wood box.
