After making the switch to Signet’s range of eco-friendly packaging, art board specialists, Wood Grain Designs, have reduced damage in transit, plastic usage and improved packing efficiency.
In 2019 Brett Pheeney found his calling— turning pieces of neglected and unused timber scattered around, into something beautiful. With over 25 years in the timber industry and an outlet to unleash creativity, the idea of Wood Grain Designs was born. Mastering the art of resin work, Wood Grain Designs has since evolved from a mere passion project to a thriving venture, producing resin and timber tables, cutting boards and more.
As business grew for Wood Grain Designs, Brett and his wife and business partner, Robyn, decided to make a conscious shift towards sustainability. The duo moved to start crafting their products from Camphor Laurel timber, an abundant and sustainable resource. With their sustainable approach, Wood Grain Designs found a new purpose—a commitment to preserving the beauty of nature while creating functional and unique pieces.
Before discovering Signet, the pair relied on boxes and plastic void fill for their packaging needs. This was both time-consuming and inefficient as they spent valuable time cutting down boxes to the right size. Additionally, the boxes frequently tore apart, leaving the contents vulnerable to damages in transit. So, with their commitment to reducing environmental impact in mind, Brett and Robyn looked to upgrade their packaging process.
“I was having so much trouble trying to cut down the sides of boxes, they never folded properly, and they weren’t sturdy enough for our products. It also didn’t make sense that we were making our products from sustainable sources, and the packaging didn’t match this.” — Robyn Pheeney, Co-Owner, Wood Grain Designs.
After browsing online, Robyn came across Signet and decided to try our Adjustable Shipping Cartons. After finding the process much more time effective, they haven’t looked back since.
“The Adjustable Cartons are great quality; they deliver our products all over Australia safely. They also save us so much time as we don’t have to cut down boxes anymore.”
Wood Grain Designs now use Signet’s Adjustable Shipping Cartons to package their orders. They then use Fillpak TT Paper as a void fill inside the carton to protect items during transit.
Signet’s Adjustable Cartons are 100% recyclable and made from recycled materials. They can also be easily adjusted to the required height of your goods, so you won’t need to waste any extra time cutting down boxes. Signet’s Fillpak TT Paper is a 3D void fill made from 100% FSC certified paper which is climate neutral, recyclable and biodegradable, and will protect even the most fragile of items during transit.
“Since switching to the Fillpak Paper, we now only have 1% of breakages during transit. We’ve also eliminated a lot of plastic as you don’t need any other protection in the carton.”
