Question 1

Where can I get custom cutting boards made with my logo?

Accepted Answer

GetMerch makes Custom Cutting Boards with your logo, monogram, or artwork laser-engraved or full-color printed on maple, walnut, bamboo, or acacia. Send your file through our contact form and our team handles sizing, placement, and wood selection for you. Custom Cutting Boards from GetMerch work for a single gift run or an ongoing gifting program.

Question 2

What woods are custom cutting boards made from?

Accepted Answer

Custom cutting boards from GetMerch are made from hard maple, black walnut, bamboo, and acacia. Maple engraves light-on-dark for high contrast, walnut gives a deep chocolate tone, bamboo is the lightest and most affordable feel, and acacia shows dramatic grain. All four are dense, food-safe hardwoods that hold an engraving cleanly.

Question 3

What sizes and shapes do custom cutting boards come in?

Accepted Answer

Custom cutting boards come in rectangular, paddle-with-handle, and round shapes, from small bar and cheese boards through mid-size prep boards up to large serving and charcuterie boards. GetMerch helps you match the size to the use — a compact board for a mailer gift, a large board for a restaurant pass or a wedding registry.

Question 4

Can I put my company logo or a full-color design on a cutting board?

Accepted Answer

Custom cutting boards can carry a logo, monogram, handwritten recipe, family name, or full-color photo. Laser engraving burns single-color designs directly into the wood grain, while UV printing reproduces multi-color logos and photos on the board face. GetMerch reviews your file and recommends whichever method suits the artwork best.

Question 5

Do you offer bulk ordering for custom cutting boards?

Accepted Answer

Custom cutting boards from GetMerch are available in small batches and larger bulk runs for corporate gifting, real estate closings, restaurant groups, and events. Bulk orders can use one design across every board or a personalized name on each one. Request a bulk quote through the contact form and our team prices it around your quantity.

Question 6

How are custom cutting boards engraved or printed?

Accepted Answer

Custom cutting boards are decorated one of two ways. Laser engraving uses a focused beam to burn the design into the surface, creating a permanent tone-on-tone mark that never peels. UV printing cures full-color ink directly onto the wood face for logos, photos, and multi-color art. Both are food-contact appropriate once the board is finished.

Question 7

How long does it take to get custom cutting boards made?

Accepted Answer

Custom cutting board timing depends on quantity, wood choice, whether each board is personalized, and how quickly artwork is approved. Engraving one design across a batch is faster than name-by-name personalization. Tell GetMerch your in-hands date in the inquiry form and our team confirms whether the schedule works before you commit.

Question 8

I'm a realtor and want engraved cutting boards for closing gifts — what's the best setup?

Accepted Answer

Custom cutting boards for real estate closing gifts usually pair a family name and closing date on the face with a small agent logo near the edge. Walnut or maple in a mid-size rectangular or paddle shape reads as premium. GetMerch can hold your logo on file so each new closing only needs the client's details.

Question 9

Is laser engraving or full-color printing better for a custom cutting board?

Accepted Answer

Laser engraving is the better choice for custom cutting boards that will be used daily — the mark is burned into the grain and cannot wear off. Full-color UV printing is better when the design needs multiple colors or a photo, such as a serving board displayed more than cut on. GetMerch recommends a method once we see your art.

Question 10

What file format do I need for the design on my cutting board?

Accepted Answer

Custom cutting boards engrave most cleanly from a vector file — SVG, AI, EPS, or PDF — because lines stay crisp at any size. A high-resolution PNG or JPG works for full-color printing and photos. If you only have a low-resolution logo, GetMerch's design team can redraw it before engraving at no charge for design help.

Question 11

Will an engraved or printed cutting board actually be safe to use for food?

Accepted Answer

Custom cutting boards from GetMerch are made from food-safe hardwoods and sealed with a food-safe mineral oil finish. Laser engraving adds no ink at all, and UV-printed boards are typically used as serving or display boards with the printed face kept as the presentation side. Hand-wash and re-oil periodically to keep the wood conditioned.

Question 12

Can I personalize each cutting board with a different name in one order?

Accepted Answer

Custom cutting boards can be personalized individually within a single bulk order — a different name, date, or message on every board while the layout and logo stay consistent. Send GetMerch a spreadsheet of names with your artwork and our team proofs the variable text before engraving so spellings are checked up front.

Question 13

What's the difference between a custom cutting board and a charcuterie or serving board?

Accepted Answer

Custom cutting boards are built for prep work, typically thicker with a flat face, while charcuterie and serving boards prioritize presentation with handles, live edges, or rounder shapes. GetMerch makes both, and the same engraving or full-color printing applies to either — choose based on whether the recipient will cut on it or serve from it.

Question 14

My company wants 150 cutting boards for holiday client gifts — how should I plan it?

Accepted Answer

Custom cutting boards for a holiday gifting run of that size work best with one engraved logo design across every board, ordered well ahead of the shipping season. Pick a single wood and size for consistency, add a gift box or Custom Wrapping Paper if you want them presentation-ready, and give GetMerch your in-hands date so the schedule is confirmed before production.

Question 15

What should I look for when ordering custom cutting boards for the first time?

Accepted Answer

Custom cutting boards should be judged on wood density, finish, and how the design is applied. Look for solid hardwood or bamboo rather than laminate, a food-safe oil finish, engraving that sits in the grain instead of a sticker or decal, and a proof before production. GetMerch provides a digital proof on every order so you see placement first.

Question 16

Can I see a proof before my cutting boards are engraved?

Accepted Answer

Custom cutting boards from GetMerch always come with a digital proof showing your design placed on the chosen wood, shape, and size before anything is engraved or printed. You approve the proof, request changes, or swap the wood, and production only starts once you sign off. Nothing is cut without your approval.

Question 17

How does a custom cutting board compare to a branded mug or tumbler as a gift?

Accepted Answer

Custom cutting boards tend to be kept longer and displayed more visibly than drinkware, which makes them a stronger choice for high-value recipients like clients and closing gifts. Mugs and tumblers cost less per unit and suit larger giveaways. GetMerch offers Custom Coffee Mugs and Custom Tumblers too, so many teams pair a board with drinkware.
