Made in Dublin: Inside the CWD Displays Workshop

Stained wooden crates with engraved branding, made by CWD

Not every display we sell comes in a flat-pack box from Italy. Alongside the ESPOSIT range, we design and build custom wooden displays ourselves, in our own workshop in County Dublin. This is the part of the business where a brand’s sketch on a napkin becomes a crate, a counter unit or a floor stand with their name burned into the wood.

Key takeaways

  • CWD Displays is part of the Custom Wood Designs Group, based in Dublin.
  • Our factory in Rathcoole makes custom-built wooden displays.
  • Our showroom in Saggart lets you see samples, compare finishes and talk through sizes and styles.
  • We make branded crates, risers, shelving, plinths, counter units and free-standing display units.
  • Logos can be CO2 laser-engraved into the wood. Units can be stained and lacquered.
  • We are also official distributors of ESPOSIT flat-pack displays, so you can mix custom and ready-made.

How a custom job works

  1. Tell us the brief: the product, where it will stand and how many units you need.
  2. Send your logo as a PDF. Vector files give the cleanest engraving.
  3. Choose wood and finish: natural, stained or lacquered. You can see samples in Saggart.
  4. Approve the design before we cut.
  5. We build, finish and deliver.

For the factors that shape a custom quote, read our custom FSDU guide.
