Wholesale & Gifting
Most cutting boards come from a warehouse. You already know this page is not for those.
The NW Co. makes handcrafted cutting boards in small batches in Oregon. Every board is finished to a standard most buyers have never felt — sanded, oiled with a handmade board cream, and finished with the same care whether one board ships or fifty. The teak grain is warm, rich, and unrepeatable. The walnut and maple face grain boards engrave cleanly for custom orders. The walnut end grain butcher block is the kind of thing someone keeps for decades.
We work with two kinds of partners. If you are one of them, read on.
Corporate & Client Gifting
This is the right fit for real estate agents, financial advisors, mortgage brokers, law firms, wedding planners, and any business that gives gifts to clients and wants what they hand over to say something. An NW Co. board is not something people already own. It does not come in a gift bag from a store. It arrives finished, oiled, and ready — and the person who receives it notices.
Every bulk order is produced to order. We do not ship from standing inventory. When you place a bulk order, we produce that run for you — which means consistent finishing across every board and no compromises on quality to meet a ship date.
Walnut and maple face grain boards are available with custom laser engraving — name, monogram, date, or logo — to order. Engraving is done on boards that are already finished, so the personalization sits on a surface that is exceptional before any text touches it.
For engraved orders, please submit artwork as a vector file (SVG, AI, EPS, or PDF). Raster files (JPG or PNG) are accepted at 300 DPI minimum. A digital proof is provided for your approval before production begins — production starts only upon written confirmation.
Volume Pricing
- 10 to 24 boards: 15% off retail
- 25 to 49 boards: 20% off retail
- 50 or more boards: 25% off retail — dedicated production run for your order
Minimum order: 10 boards. For plain (non-engraved) orders, a 50% deposit is required at confirmation with the balance due before shipment. For engraved or custom orders, 100% payment is required upfront — once a board carries your logo or name, it cannot be reassigned. Standard turnaround is 3 to 4 weeks from payment confirmation.
Retail & Boutique Partners
We carry a small number of retail accounts. The right fit is a kitchen store, lifestyle shop, or gift boutique whose buyers already know what belongs on their shelves. This is not a board that needs to be explained — it earns its place by feel the moment someone picks it up.
Retail wholesale is available on the following products: the Personalized Maple and Walnut Face Grain boards and the Signature Walnut End-Grain Butcher Block with Handles. Teak inventory is finite and may not be restocked — teak products are reserved for direct sales and are not available for retail wholesale accounts.
Wholesale Terms
- 40% off MSRP, giving you a 66% markup at full retail price
- Minimum opening order: $500 or 6 boards, whichever is greater
- Minimum reorder: $500 or 6 boards, whichever is greater
- You agree to sell at NW Co. MSRP with no undercutting — this includes all online channels and marketplaces
- 100% prepayment required for the first two orders. Net 30 available for established accounts in good standing thereafter.
- We typically work with one retail account per market area. If you are in a market we already serve, let us know and we will discuss options.
Black Label
Select retail accounts can carry boards engraved with their own store logo instead of The NW Co. brand mark. The boards are identical in quality and finishing — the only difference is what's on them. Your customers see your brand. The craftsmanship is ours.
Black label runs are available on walnut and maple face grain boards. Pricing is the same as standard wholesale (40% off MSRP). A one-time account setup fee of $50 applies to the first run and covers logo file processing, proof preparation, and a test engraving. Subsequent runs carry no setup fee.
- Minimum 12 boards per black label run
- 100% payment required upfront on all black label orders — engraved boards cannot be reassigned or restocked
- Submit artwork as a vector file (SVG, AI, EPS, or PDF). Raster files accepted at 300 DPI minimum.
- A digital proof is provided for approval before any boards are engraved. Production begins on written confirmation only.
We do not do drop shipping, consignment, or placement on spec. If you carry the board, you carry it.
Boards damaged in transit must be reported within 7 days of delivery with photos. We stand behind our work and will make it right.
How to Get Started
Reach out with your business name, what you are looking for, and the quantity you have in mind. We will confirm pricing and availability for your specific order before anything is committed.
We keep wholesale relationships small by design. When we take on an order, we are actually paying attention to it.
