Custom Wooden Cigar Boxes & Humidors

Our standard construction uses high-density MDF sourced from responsibly managed mills in Australia and New Zealand, including Nelson Pine Industries and The Laminex Group, meeting E0/P2 formaldehyde emission standards. Interior linings include Spanish cedar, velvet, and custom-cut EVA foam, selected based on humidity management requirements and brand presentation needs. For EU-bound orders, FSC-certified materials are available through our supply chain for qualifying orders — our field guide explains which compliance frameworks apply to wood packaging exports.

Piano lacquer is a multi-stage coating process that produces the deep, mirror-like gloss surface found on concert pianos and high-end furniture. The process requires a temperature-controlled spray environment, multiple primer and lacquer coats with sanding between each stage, and a final multi-step buffing sequence. Piano lacquer finishing at production scale requires dedicated infrastructure that most wood packaging manufacturers in Taiwan do not maintain. CY Atelier supports both high-gloss and matte lacquer variants.

CY Atelier supports piano lacquer (gloss and matte), spray painting (solid colors, gradients, and aged finishes), hot stamping (gold, silver, and custom foil), laser engraving, UV printing, and velvet lining. All finishes are available as part of a complete production order. Samples of each finish type are available on request.

CY Atelier does not impose a fixed minimum order quantity. Pricing follows a tiered structure — smaller quantities carry a higher per-unit cost due to setup allocation, while larger runs achieve better unit economics. We recommend contacting us with your target volume and specifications for an accurate quotation.

Sampling typically requires 2–4 weeks from confirmed specifications, depending on surface finishing complexity. Production lead times are determined by order volume, finish requirements, and current scheduling. We provide a detailed timeline at the quotation stage. For reference, CY Atelier has maintained on-time delivery for a European client over a multi-decade partnership with strict seasonal shipping schedules.
