Why this wooden van makes a difference in everyday life

There's plenty of ready-made decoration out there. But a motif you've designed yourself tells a story. Use it as a gift tag, as table scatter or to decorate a card. The van shows the theme of vehicles, moving house or deliveries at a glance. And because you do the design yourself, it ends up matching your occasion and your style.

Material & finish

The van is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge, which outlines the motif with a fine contour. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean. So you can pick up the pieces and work on them straight away. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. Wood is a purely natural material. It varies in shade and can show small irregularities or knots in the grain. That's what makes every piece unique – no two are alike.

How to use the wooden van

• For making money gifts for a move or a first home: paint the van and “load” the banknote. The gift has a story before it's even opened.
• For crafting with children: each child decorates their own van with paint and stickers. In the end, there's a whole fleet of vehicles on the windowsill.
• As a gift tag or card motif for vehicles, moving house and deliveries: a little van on the parcel hints at what's inside before it's unwrapped.
• As table scatter on the birthday table of a little vehicle fan: spread a few vans between the plates. The table shows the party theme straight away.
• In a shop or at the market: large cutouts up to 50 cm wide can carry messages such as “We deliver!”. They're quick to set up and easy to understand.

Good to know about the van

Hardly any vehicle stands for new beginnings like the van. It's part of moving day just as much as of the parcel delivery at your front door. That's why the motif works well for cards and gifts for a move, a new job as a delivery driver or anyone who travels a lot for work.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. As the wood is untreated, it lasts a long time indoors in dry conditions without any care. Avoid constant moisture. If the van is going to hang outside or somewhere damp, paint or oil it first to protect the surface.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the van? Yes. The plywood is untreated. You can paint it, oil it, stick things on it or decorate it in other ways.

Why does the cutout have a brown edge? The van is laser-cut. The brown edge is created during cutting and is typical of this process. The edges are still smooth.

Do all pieces look the same? The shape is identical, the wood isn't. As a natural material, it varies in shade and can show small knots or textures in the grain. Every piece is unique.

Is the cutout suitable for outdoor use? Untreated, it belongs indoors in dry conditions. With a coat of paint or oil, you can prepare it for sheltered outdoor areas.

What counts is not the wooden cutout itself. It's the moment someone holds your handmade gift and realises: you came up with this just for them. Simply choose your size and quantity – and get started.
