Made for earrings that need a clean, tidy presentation
Earring display boards are laser-cut wooden panels designed with neat slots or holes for studs, hooks and hanging pairs. They keep earrings upright and easy to browse, which helps at busy stalls where customers want to see the full range quickly. Each board can be made plain, engraved with your logo or cut into a custom shape that suits your brand. If you sell in Somerset West, Stellenbosch or Cape Town, a well-made board also helps with stock control because every pair has a fixed place.
We make boards for small gift ranges, full retail collections and market traders who need displays that pack flat and travel well. Boards can be supplied as single units or in sets for different product lines, like silver studs, wooden drops or festive ranges. For shops and gifting brands, they also work as a neat back-of-house display when you are sorting stock and preparing orders.
Size options and finish choices that suit your stock
The right size depends on how many pairs you want to show and where the board will stand. Smaller boards suit countertop displays, while larger panels work well for wall hooks, peg systems or market tables. Most boards are made from quality plywood or solid wood panel stock, cut to size and sanded smooth for clean edges. If you need something special, we can add a base stand, hanging holes, or a shape that matches your packaging style.
- Compact boards for 6 to 12 pairs, ideal for gift counters and small tables
- Medium boards for 12 to 24 pairs, good for boutiques and market stalls
- Large boards for 24 to 48 pairs, suited to trade shows and retail walls
- Custom cut-outs for studs, hooks, hoops and mixed earring styles
- Optional engraving for logo, collection name, price notes or care text
Finish options include natural wood, sealed wood, painted faces or a mixed finish with engraved detail left raw for contrast. Coastal humidity in places like Strand, Gordon's Bay and Hermanus can affect untreated wood over time, so a sealed finish is often the better choice for long-term use.
Where earring boards work best in real sales spaces
These boards suit places where presentation needs to be simple and practical. At markets, they help buyers compare colours and shapes without picking up loose stock. In boutiques, they keep earrings ordered by size or collection. For gifting brands, they make a neat add-on product that can be bundled with cards, wraps or gift boxes. They also work for wedding stalls, craft fairs, seasonal pop-ups and reception counters where small items need to look organised, not cluttered.
We often prepare boards for clients selling in Paarl, Durbanville and across the Helderberg, where products need to travel by courier and arrive ready to place. If your stock changes from week to week, we can make boards that allow for flexible spacing so you are not locked into one earring style. That matters when you are testing new ranges or adding limited editions before festive season.

Installation, power needs and what the board actually needs
Earring display boards do not need gas or electrical installation. They are ready-to-use display pieces once they leave our Somerset West base. If you choose a standing board, it may need a simple base or back support, and we can add that during finishing. Wall-mounted boards need only the correct fixing for your wall type, whether that is timber, masonry or a display panel inside a shop. For rental stalls or temporary setups, we can make lighter boards that are easy to move and pack down.
If you are using the boards outdoors at a market, it is best to keep them out of direct rain and away from soaking morning dew. Light sun and dust are normal on Cape Town and Hermanus market days, but untreated wood can mark or warp if it is left exposed. A sealed finish and regular wipe-down usually solves that. No specialist tools are needed for daily use, just a clean cloth and a sensible place to store them after trading.
Care, cleaning and servicing between trading days
Wooden display boards are easy to maintain if they are handled with care. Dust them with a soft dry cloth and wipe fingerprints with a slightly damp cloth, then dry the surface straight after. Avoid harsh cleaners, soaking, or abrasive pads because they can dull the finish and lift engraved detail. If the board carries a logo or engraved price marks, a gentle brush is usually enough to keep the cut lines clear.
For businesses trading in load-shedding conditions, it helps that the boards need no power at all. You can still set up and sell without worrying about chargers, lights or batteries. If a board starts showing wear after heavy use, we can advise on resealing, edge cleaning or replacement of a stand piece. Keep boards flat when stored, especially in damp storage rooms near the coast, because stacked weight can leave marks over time.
- Store in a dry indoor spot, either flat or standing upright
- Avoid prolonged sun, rain and wet counters
- Do not use bleach or strong solvent cleaners
- Check holes and slots for loose fibres after busy market days
- Re-seal when the finish starts to look dry or pale
What to check before ordering your boards
Before placing an order, think about how many pairs you need to show, the type of earrings you sell, and whether the board will stand on a counter or hang on a wall. It also helps to know your logo size, preferred wood tone, and whether you want the board to match your packaging or shop fit-out. If you sell both small studs and larger drops, we can plan the hole layout so the board remains balanced and easy to read.
Clients often send us product counts and a rough photo of their current setup. That makes it easier to set the spacing correctly and avoid wasted space. If you are ordering for multiple branches or market days, we can keep the layout consistent across the range so your presentation looks the same from Somerset West to Cape Town and beyond. For larger orders, ask about prototype samples first so you can check fit, finish and colour before full production.

Ordering for one shop or a full retail run
LaserCrafts makes earring display boards for independent makers, boutique owners and businesses that need repeatable stock across several sites. Because the boards are made locally in Somerset West, we can manage small runs, bulk order production and courier packing for clients in Stellenbosch, Paarl, Gordon's Bay, Strand, Durbanville, Hermanus and further afield. We also assist with creative consultations if you are still deciding on layout or sizing. Orders are processed through the enquiry form on our contact page, then we confirm the brief, materials and timeline before production starts.
Whether you need ten boards for a weekend market or a full retail set for a gifting range, the aim is the same: a neat display that makes earrings easy to browse and easy to sell. If you want a board that feels more considered than standard off-the-shelf stock, we can make it to suit your product line and your space.
