Wooden staggered sign in plank look for crafts – 5 to 50 cm

A crafting afternoon at the kitchen table. The paints are ready and the children are waiting. All that's missing is the right blank. This staggered sign in a wooden plank look is made for your next craft idea. It is an untreated wooden plaque made of poplar plywood. You can paint it, stick things on it or write on it, just as you like. A plain piece of wood becomes a name sign, a Christmas decoration or a lovingly designed price tag.

What changes for you

• You can start painting, decorating or writing on it straight away. The wood comes untreated in its natural form. It takes paint, glue and oil well.
• Your sign already looks like a rustic board without any extra work. The individual planks are marked with laser-scored outlines, and the laser leaves its typical brown edge.
• You'll find the right size for every project. You can choose any height from 5 cm to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• There's no need to sand anything. The laser-cut edges are smooth and feel pleasant in your hand.
• You can plan larger projects with ease. Choose a single piece or a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this plank sign makes a difference every day

Crafting with children, getting the Christmas decorations ready or labelling the counter: with a ready-made blank in a wooden plank look, you skip the most time-consuming part of the job. The shape is already there, and so is the rustic look. You only take care of the fun part: designing, decorating and lettering. With little effort, you get a result that looks properly handmade.

Material & finish

The staggered sign is made of 3 mm poplar plywood and is laser-cut in our own production in Pößneck. This gives it the typical brown edge, which further brings out the plank look. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean. The wood is left untreated, so you can paint, oil or decorate it as you wish. Wood is a purely natural material. Each plaque varies in shade, shows its own grain and sometimes small knots. This is not a flaw. It makes every piece one of a kind.

Good to know about poplar plywood

Poplar is one of the lightest native woods. It is especially easy to paint and work with. That's why it has always been a popular material for crafts and decorations. Your paints stick well, and even larger signs stay pleasantly light, for example for hanging up or standing on a buffet.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Keep the untreated wood dry and avoid constant moisture. If you paint or oil the sign, you give the surface extra protection and choose the look at the same time. This way it keeps looking good for a long time.
