Sample Boxes for Premium Timbers
It seems that no matter what we want to buy, there’s no shortage of choice. Variety is great, yet sometimes there are so many options that we are unsure of which product to purchase. It is for this reason that sample boxes are popular.
Providing a taster enables customers to try, test and compare a variety of options, before deciding which they like the best. This strategy has proved popular, which is why we’ve been asked to create bespoke sample boxes for gin, toiletries and even construction materials.
Sample Boxes for Building Materials
You may be familiar with sample boxes for B2C products including consumables and cosmetics, but they are also widely used by B2B companies. To give an example, have you ever wondered how architects and building developers help their clients choose which construction materials to use? You guessed it, sample boxes!
One of our clients is a market leader in charred timber cladding. They send a selection of timber samples to potential clients to inform decisions on colour, texture and finish.
Exterior Solutions Looking for Packaging Solutions!
As manufacturers of market-leading Shou Sugi Ban®, Exterior Solutions Ltd supplies premium charred timber cladding to architects and building developers. Their range includes the traditional black and crackled finish, heavy brushed timbers that emphasise the grain and light tones with a smooth finish. So, sample boxes enable architects and builders to work with clients to select cladding that brings their vision to life.
As a natural material, timber provides a distinctive character to the interior or exterior of a property. The unique grain and texture have a timeless appeal, yet maintaining wood finishes can be a time-consuming process. However, the Exterior Solutions Ltd team learnt about a Japanese preservation technique that works wonders.
A controlled burning technique is used to char the timber. This doesn’t just alter the appearance, it also changes the cell structure. Natural resins within the wood come to the surface and provide resilience against weather, insects, rot and mould. With a finish applied, the result is a long-lasting, low-maintenance timber cladding.
Shou Sugi Ban® has been specified for RIBA Award-winning properties, heritage renovations, Chelsea Flower Show gardens and a Grand Design. That’s a huge achievement for a relatively small, family-run business.
Buckinghamshire Manufacturers
As a Buckinghamshire manufacturer, Exterior Solutions Ltd proactively engages with local business services. From the accountant to the courier company, they are keen to establish connections within the Buckinghamshire business community. For this reason, we were on the list as a potential packaging manufacturer for their sample boxes.
We created a bespoke box solution to best fit the dimensions of the timbers they were shipping out to clients.
“We have used Aylesbury Box for the last 6-7 years – the quality has always been great and they have been a lovely company to work with. They have listened to our requirements, and produced new boxes for us speedily.”
– Cara Bouttell, Exterior Solutions
