Hi! We’re Mark, Beata and Hannah

We’ve started this simply because we couldn’t find a good quality handcrafted packaging for our own work. Slightly unexpectedly it took over our lives. It turns out, there are more people like us out there.

1000s of boxes later, we’ve expanded our offer to memory sticks, albums and many other products.

Most importantly, we’ve met you, and many amazing clients, who, quite often, became good friends.Our business operates through 2 warehouses based in Poland. The only places we don’t deliver are the moon and Mars, but we’ve got Elon Musk working on it.

Working with photographers since 2014

I've been a photographer for 14 years and never offered albums to my clients because the process was daunting to design and the quality just was never up to my standard of aesthetic that I envisioned for my clients - THEN I came across Wooden Banana about 4 years ago - and absolutely fell in love with their products.

Wooden Banana is the only company I trust with my clients' albums. Not only do they create beautiful albums & print packaging, they make it so easy for photographers to offer and sell products to our clients. One of my favourite things about Wooden Banana is the resources they create for photographers: customizable Canva ordering guides, promotional images to use on socials, a

Wooden Banana has been a huge part of my photography business journey. The albums and cover options are exquisite and high quality. My clients also rave about how good their albums turn out! Mark and the team are very lovely people and are always there whenever I needed assistance with my orders. If you are looking for an album company that has your back, HIGHLY recommend!

For many years now I have been ordering the wooden boxes from Wooden Banana. WI am happy, my clients are happy and the quality is constantly great. The variety or their products is also always growing and it is always a pleasure to see the boxes on my clients shelves. From pregnancy to weddings and baby photos, the beautiful and high-quality boxes are ideal for my work.

Couldn’t be happier! My clients love their albums, especially the tactile covers and thick luxury feel to the pages. My studio team and I love the printing and binding quality and that WB ship direct to my clients worldwide, this is essential for the destination element of my work. WB is an extension of our team and trust them 100% to deliver albums reflective of my brand.

We discovered Wooden Banana many years ago, when they only made wooden boxes, when they produced the first albums it was love at first sight! We found in them what other suppliers could not offer us, this is because it is designed by photographers for photographers! Our customers are very happy with these products, the quality and durability are really high.

As a wedding photographer, I cherish the moment when I surprise my clients with Wooden Banana’s beautiful wooden boxes. At the end of their special day, I present them with a collection of Instax prints, neatly packed in these exquisite boxes. The laser-engraved logo adds a personal touch, creating a tangible and memorable keepsake in our digital world.
