Branding Your Cutting Boards

Butcher Block Cutting Boards are the a great way to get your companies name out to your current customers as well as working for you to gain new customers. The Woodwelded Companies have created branded boards for many fine companies. These companies use the board for sale, for gifts and to promote there line of products. We are happy to offer this service. Please see below examples of the options available.

Laser Engraving

Laser engraving a cutting board gives a detail unmatched by other forms of engraving. The boards are actually burned with laser light to achieve this type of branding. While the charm and nostalgia my be reduced from that of a branding iron, the detail may be just what your company logo demands.

Another strength of laser engraving is that there is a relatively uniform price per piece with low start up costs. With your digital vector graphics it is just a matter of sending the file to the laser and positioning it on the board. One should take note due to limitations of the engraving machine the brand must appear on the face of the board.

We completed this job just before Christmas 2006. The cutting boards were for promotional purposes and needed to be engraved and to the customer in time for the gift giving season. As you can see the logo is crisp and clean with only a hint of burned wood around the edges. This gives a great natural look. Additionally the quality of the Butcher Block works perfectly adding to the prestige of the companies image.

Heat Branding

Using a branding iron to apply a brand is the most charming and traditional manner in which a name or logo is applied to a cutting board. This process actually uses a hot iron to burn the wood. This hand done branding can result in some slight variations from board to board as a human is incontrol of the hot metal. It can also be common to see a "halo" effect where the heat near the irons head burns the surrounding wood.

One of the best features of this process is that the edge of the board can be branded.

Router Engraving

Our CNC router can be used to engrave boards...even very large cutting boards or counter tops. This is done with an engraving bit which will follow your exact specification. All we need is a vector graphic file of what you would like to have placed on the board. From there it is a simple transfer of information and the CNC will start removing material. This is similar to Laser Engraving in that it removes material. This allows for some interesting contrasts when we apply paint to the surface before giving the piece a final sanding.
