Wooden sign in plank look with 2 horizontal holes

Your guests are about to arrive and the buffet is ready. But nobody knows yet what is waiting in which bowl. With this plank-look wooden sign, you can label every station in a few minutes. Write the name on it, thread a cord through the two holes, hang it up. At the buffet, on a gift or in the herb bed: this poplar plywood cutout is ready for your next craft idea.

What changes for you

• You can hang your signs up quickly. The two side-by-side holes are 3 mm in diameter. Cord, ribbon or wire fits through them.
• You can design it however you like. The wood is untreated, so you can paint it, stick things on it, write on it or oil it.
• You will find the right size for every project. Choose from 5 x 2.5 cm to 50 x 25 cm in 1 cm steps. From a small gift tag to a large door sign.
• The plank look and the typical brown laser edge give every sign a rustic frame. You don't need to finish anything by hand.
• You save money when crafting with children or on larger projects. The signs also come in sets of 10, 25, 50 and 100.

Why this wooden sign makes a difference every day

A hand-lettered wooden sign always says a little more than a printed note. At the buffet, labelled signs keep the food clearly organised. On a gift, the little tag holds a name or a short message. And because the sign is made of natural wood, it suits any style. From country house to a simple market counter.

Material & finish

The signs are made of 3 mm poplar plywood and are laser-cut in our own production in Pößneck. This gives you smooth edges without splinters. You also get the typical brown edge that brings out the plank look. The surface is left natural, not varnished and not glazed. That way paint, glue and pens adhere reliably. Wood is a purely natural material. Brightness, grain and small knots vary from piece to piece. This makes every sign unique, not faulty.

How to use the wooden sign

• At the buffet or on the shop counter: every platter gets its own labelled sign. Guests and customers see at a glance what to expect. And you don't have to answer the same questions.
• For handmade money gifts: add a small sign with a name and a wish to the envelope. The envelope becomes a gift in your own handwriting.
• For making Christmas decorations: labelled tags on the Advent wreath or hanging from a branch add a handwritten wooden detail to your Christmas crafts.
• For crafting with children: each child paints their own door sign. And they are proud when it hangs on their bedroom door in the evening. The little board also goes down well as a homemade Mother's Day or Father's Day gift.
• In the garden or at the market: fix the sign to the bed or crate with wire. It shows which herbs are growing or what the goods cost. Quick to put up, quick to swap.
• In model making: as a miniature inn sign or signpost. The small sizes from 5 x 2.5 cm add true-to-scale details to your layout.

Good to know about poplar wood

Poplar is one of the lightest native woods and has a pale, even surface. That is why it is especially easy to paint and write on. Colours look clear and bright on it. Even larger signs hang easily from a thin cord.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do. Stored dry, the untreated wood keeps its natural look for a long time. Avoid constant moisture. For outdoor use, you can paint or oil the sign first. This keeps it looking good for longer.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the sign or stick things on it? Yes. The poplar plywood is untreated, so paints, varnishes, oils and glue adhere directly to the surface.

How do I hang the sign? Simply thread cord, ribbon or wire through the two horizontal holes with 3 mm diameter. Done.

Do all signs look the same? Shape and dimensions are identical, but the wood surface isn't. Grain, brightness and small knots vary, because wood is a natural material. Every piece is unique.

Is the sign suitable for outdoor use? Untreated, it belongs in a dry place. With a coat of paint or oil, you can also use it in the garden or at a market stall.

What counts is the moment your guests smile at the buffet. Every bowl has a hand-lettered little sign. And everything looks like you. Just choose your size and quantity. You design the rest.
