Scheffauer Holzwaren FAQ
About Scheffauer Holzwaren
Scheffauer Holzwaren GmbH is an Austrian manufacturer and artisanal producer of high-quality wooden boxes, wine boxes, and wooden packaging. The family-owned company was founded in 1971. For over 50 years, Scheffauer Holzwaren has stood for in-house production, quality, flexibility, and reliable series manufacturing.
The Company’s Journey
The origins of Scheffauer Holzwaren lie in the production of wood shavings for crafting and decorative purposes. In its early years, the company produced items such as craft wood shavings, wooden Christmas decorations, and palm shavings for Easter décor. As the business developed, the next step was the production of wooden shaving boxes, which quickly became a popular packaging solution. Building on this foundation, the company continued to evolve—both in craftsmanship and technology. Today, the primary focus is on the manufacture of high-quality wooden boxes, wood packaging, and wood displays for industry, retail, brand manufacturers, and promotional purposes. Despite this growth, the artisanal character of the company has been preserved to this day.
Manufacture & In-House Production
All production takes place entirely in-house—from woodworking to assembly, finishing, printing, and interior fittings. Scheffauer Holzwaren combines traditional craftsmanship with modern series production, ensuring consistent quality, short lead times, and cost-effective pricing even for larger quantities.
Product Portfolio
The focus is on the production of:
- Wine & spirits boxes (for wine, schnapps, gin, liqueurs, and magnum bottles)
- Gift and presentation boxes made of wood
- Chocolate, cake, and confectionery boxes
- Toolboxes & technical wooden packaging
- Bottle carriers & wooden crates
- POP and POS wooden displays
The wooden boxes are available with flip tops or sliding lids, in rustic, natural, or elegantly lacquered finishes.
Is our wooden packaging safe for food?
Of course, we only use the best (sheet-) material, which is absolutely harmless in terms of formaldehyde or other vapors. The food compatibility of the paints and glues we use is guaranteed by our suppliers through safety data sheets.
Interior & Protective Solutions
For optimal product protection, Scheffauer Holzwaren offers customized interior solutions, including:
- Foam inserts (precisely milled to fit)
- Milled wooden inserts
- Combined inserts made of wood, foam, or cork
Additionally, matching outer cartons can be provided upon request, giving customers a complete packaging solution from a single source.
Can wood products be printed?
Of course, you can also have our products individually printed. If we receive a film or a template from you, we will print in one or more colors, depending on your requirements. Embossing or branding is also possible on request.
Printing & Finishing
The following techniques are available for customization:
- Digital Printing
- Screen Printing
- Branding / Engraving
- Embossing
These methods make our wooden packaging ideal for brand presentations, product packaging, promotional purposes, and high-quality displays.
What is the difference between varnish and stain?
Finished lacquer gives mattness or shine and protects the wood from dirt and moisture. Colored varnishes cover the wood structure with their pigments or, depending on the thickness of the application, make them appear faintly visible. Stain colors the wood by being absorbed into the wood and revealing the wood structure.
Series Production & Call-Off Orders
Scheffauer Holzwaren produces series ranging from approximately 100 to over 20,000 units. The annual production capacity is up to around 400,000 wooden boxes.
