Unfinished Boxwood Wood Crosses – 20 pcs Pack, 11×7×0.25 cm – Bulk DIY Supply

Versatile Unfinished Wood Crosses for Retailers, Craft Suppliers, and DIY Brands

For craft wholesalers, gift retailers, and DIY brands, a reliable blank product that adapts to many finishing techniques is a commercial asset. These boxwood crosses (11×7×0.25 cm, 20 pcs per pack) are designed to streamline high-volume finishing while offering a pleasing raw aesthetic that sells. Below we cover why buying unfinished wood crosses bulk makes sense, how buyers use them, and practical tips for merchandising and finishing to maximize margins.

Why buyers choose these crosses

• Consistent material and dimensions reduce rework: the fine-grain boxwood and precise die-cut shape mean fewer rejects during spray painting, staining or laser engraving runs. For B2B buyers, this translates directly into lower labor and waste costs.
• Broad finishing compatibility: the untreated surface takes acrylics, stains, inks, decoupage, pyrography and laser engraving cleanly — making one SKU useful across seasons and retail themes.
• Compact, stackable packaging supports efficient warehousing and mixed-SKU displays, helping retailers optimize shelf space and parcel costs.

Use-case scenarios by customer type

• Craft wholesalers and distributors: Buy in bulk to supply hobby shops, classroom programs, and event craft kits. The uniform size (11×7 cm) simplifies assortment planning and enables bundle promotions (e.g., pack + paint set).
• Gift and souvenir retailers: Offer hand-finished or shop-customized crosses for religious holidays, tourist markets and commemorative gifts. The raw look fits rustic and minimalist store concepts and pairs well with ribbon, engraving or stamped messages.
• DIY brands and subscription boxes: Include as a recurring craft project item. Their thin profile (0.25 cm) is easy to mail and requires minimal cushioning, lowering fulfillment costs.
• Churches and community centers: Ideal for children’s programs, retreat crafts and fundraising merchandise where low-cost, customizable pieces are needed in quantity.

Finishing recommendations for reliable results

• Prep: Light dusting with a tack cloth or quick sanding at 220–320 grit removes any loose fibers and improves paint adhesion without changing dimensions.
• Painting: Use spray primer for the fastest, most uniform coverage in batch runs; water-based acrylics also perform well on boxwood for hand-finished items.
• Staining and ink: Test small batches—boxwood’s fine grain absorbs stain differently than softwoods; dilute stains may produce more even tones.
• Laser engraving & pyrography: The dense, even grain yields crisp engravings. Run short test passes to dial power and speed to avoid scorching the thin profile.
• Sealing: For retail-ready pieces, apply a satin or matte varnish to protect surface art while keeping the handcrafted look.

Merchandising and packaging ideas

• Create seasonal kits (Easter, Christmas, First Communion) that pair the crosses with paints, brushes and simple instructions. Bundled SKUs increase average order value.
• Offer ready-to-sell sets with a branded backing card (blister or kraft card) for impulse placement near registers.
• Provide wholesale clients with mixed-color varnished samples to illustrate end-use possibilities during pitches.

Logistics and buying tips

• Order samples to confirm finish compatibility with your production line; consistent thickness (0.25 cm) aids automated jigging and routing.
• Consider small pilot orders before committing to larger MOQ runs for branded packaging or custom engraving.
• For cross-border shipments, thin profile and lightweight packs reduce volumetric cost; pack orientation and cushioning are the main determinants of damage rates.

Sustainability and product story

• The natural, unfinished surface supports low-chemical finishing workflows and appeals to eco-conscious consumers when paired with water-based paints and recyclable packaging. Use this angle in product copy to resonate with modern shoppers.

As a flexible, low-cost blank, these boxwood crosses are a smart addition for wholesalers, retailers and DIY brands aiming to boost SKU versatility and margin potential. Their predictable dimensions, reliable finishing performance and compact packaging make them especially suitable when sourcing unfinished wood crosses bulk for seasonal promos, craft kits, or branded merchandise.
