Forget the specifics about wood quality, cover options, or our engraving machines—this isn’t just about the product. It’s about the people: you, your clients, and a little piece of us. We are Mark, Beata, and Hannah. Although we’re not all hands-on every day, this business runs through each of our lives. It’s something we’re all connected to, something we’ve all helped shape, whether directly or indirectly. We started this project a few years ago simply because, as photographers ourselves, we couldn’t find the right kind of high-quality, handcrafted packaging for our work. Little did we know, this passion project would grow far beyond our initial vision and would come to define so much of our lives.

Turns out, there are people out there just like us who share a passion for images in tangible form. People who believe in the power of a printed photograph, of an album that you can hold in your hands, of a beautifully crafted box that brings an image to life. Since then, we’ve crafted thousands of boxes, broadened our offerings to include memory sticks, albums, and a range of other products. What we cherish most are the connections we’ve made along the way—with clients who, often, have become dear friends. It’s truly incredible to be part of this journey with people who believe in what we do and support us with genuine enthusiasm.

At the heart of what we do is a commitment to creating products that not only complement your work but also help you build and grow your own business. The foundation of our business is supported by three key pillars: quality, flexibility, and sustainability. Every product we create is meant to meet a high standard of quality that honors the work you’ve put into your photography. We understand that each photographer’s needs are different, which is why we prioritize flexibility, providing options that suit a variety of styles and preferences. Sustainability is also essential to us. We’re committed to making sure our processes and materials minimize environmental impact, as we believe strongly in leaving a positive legacy both in our industry and beyond. But beyond these pillars, the true foundation of our business is people like you—our clients and supporters, whose trust enables us to keep growing, innovating, and providing the best possible products.

Our business operates from two warehouses in Poland, where our small team works tirelessly to fulfill orders with care and precision. We’re proud of our roots and of the craftsmanship that goes into every single piece we create. Although our shipping reach is vast, we haven’t quite made it to the moon or Mars yet. But if Elon Musk has his way, we’ll be ready to explore even those frontiers!

Ah, the million-dollar question we get asked so often: “Why Wooden Banana?” The answer is… well, let’s just say it remains a mystery even to us sometimes. A thorough neurological examination of Mark’s brain might be the only way to uncover its origin. But alas, Mark isn’t particularly interested in undergoing any tests to find out! So, for now, the name Wooden Banana stands as a quirky testament to the originality and personality behind our brand.
