Bespoke Wooden Boxes Manufactured to Perfection

At Polmac (UK) Ltd, we specialise in manufacturing bespoke wooden boxes, providing fully customised solutions for luxury gift boxes, product packaging, and presentation cases.

By combining traditional craftsmanship with semi-automated production, we create unique wooden boxes tailored to your exact specifications.

Premium Wood Types for Exceptional Wooden Boxes

Our bespoke wooden boxes are crafted from carefully selected natural woods. We primarily use Linden and Alder, known for their fine grain and smooth finish, and Pinewood when a more robust construction is required.

We also offer premium imported hardwoods for clients seeking a more distinctive, high-end look and finish.

Sustainable Timber, Naturally Seasoned

All timber used in our wooden box manufacturing process is sourced from sustainably managed forests.

We procure rough-hewn planks directly from local sawmills and naturally season them for up to 2.5 years. This air-drying process ensures the wood retains its strength and resists warping.

When necessary, kiln drying is used to achieve the ideal moisture content, ensuring that every bespoke wooden box is structurally sound and built to last.

Custom Wooden Box Production Process

Once the wood is seasoned, we begin production by shaping the timber into 8–10mm panels. These panels are carefully jointed and glued in precision mitre presses to form the basic wooden box shape. Lids are then expertly cut with a circular saw to ensure a precise fit.

To enhance functionality and style, we incorporate v-groove joints and discreet vertical slots for concealed metal hinges. These features are designed to allow lids to open to a full 90-degree angle.

We also offer recessed, surface-mounted, and 90-degree stop hinges to meet your design requirements. 

Finishing & Decoration of Your Bespoke Wooden Box

After construction, your custom wooden boxes are fine-sanded for a smooth finish. From there, they are taken to one of our spray booths for:

  • Natural wood and colour stain finishes
  • Vibrant primary and pastel colour finishes
  • Clear lacquer coatings

For more personalised touches, boxes can be hand-painted, carved, or decorated with pyrography. These specialised finishes give each gift box a distinctive artisanal look, helping to attract more customers.

Final Assembly and Quality Touches

Once painted or stained, each wooden box is thoroughly dried before we hand-finish the interior edges. We then add high-quality fittings, including metal hinges, catches, handles, and stays.

If your design includes an internal fabric lining, we carefully fit silk, flock, or hessian linings onto custom-moulded inserts in both the lid and base of the box.

To finish, we can apply logos, branding, or custom text using specialised printing techniques, making each bespoke wooden box visually stunning and truly unique.

Strict Quality Control

Polmac is dedicated to consistently high standards. Every bespoke wooden box undergoes rigorous quality-control inspections before shipping.

Each box is wrapped in protective white paper, packed in five-layer, impact-resistant cartons, and shrink-wrapped on pallets for safe transport.
