Product Photography
We provide close-range macro photography of the grain texture in addition to our standard full-board shots, cross-section cuts, installed application photos, and export packaging photos, since surface texture is genuinely difficult to judge from a small thumbnail image and matters more for this line than for our smooth-finish products.
A note on pattern selection: if you already have a preferred timber species in mind - oak, teak, walnut, and similar reference points are common requests - let us know, and we can point you to the closest matching die in our current library or advise on developing a new one if nothing existing is close enough.
Minimum Order Quantity & Pricing Structure
Because the wood grain surface treatment is applied to an existing core material rather than requiring an entirely separate production process, pricing generally sits close to the base cost of whichever core material you select, plus a modest premium for the embossing tooling and finishing step. MOQ for a first trial order is typically 1 x 20ft container, and mixed-pattern trial orders are usually easy to arrange if you want to compare a few grain styles side by side.
| Order Volume | Pricing Tier |
| Sample pieces | Sample fee + courier, often credited toward first order |
| 1 x 20ft container | Standard FOB pricing (based on core material selected) |
| 1 x 40ft HQ container | Discounted per-sqm pricing |
| Multiple containers / annual contract | Negotiated volume pricing with priority production slot |
Quotations are typically given as FOB Ningbo or Shanghai, with CIF and DDP available once destination and Incoterm are confirmed. Standard payment terms are 30% deposit by T/T with balance against the B/L copy; L/C at sight can be discussed for larger, first-time orders where that structure fits your internal approval process.
Because pricing follows the underlying core material rather than the grain finish itself, we recommend deciding on your core material first (standard, bamboo fiber, or capped) and then confirming the grain pattern, since that sequence gives you the most accurate combined quotation on the first pass rather than needing a revised quote later. If budget is the main constraint, we can also suggest which core-and-pattern combination delivers the closest visual result at the lowest achievable cost.
OEM & Customization Options
Because the appeal of this line is almost entirely visual, customization conversations here focus heavily on matching a specific look, whether that is an existing timber species the client is used to or a reference sample from a competing product.
- Grain pattern selection - choose from our existing die library, which covers several common timber grain styles across multiple color tones
- Color matching - the embossed grain can be combined with custom color matching against a Pantone/RAL reference or a physical timber sample
- Core material - apply the grain finish to standard PE composite, bamboo fiber composite, or co-extrusion capped composite depending on your budget and durability needs
- New grain die development - a genuinely new embossing pattern can be developed if none of our existing dies match your target look closely enough
- Private label packaging - custom cartons, labels, and printed installation guides under your brand
For a new grain die, we typically ask for a physical timber sample or high-resolution close-up photos of the target grain, and we will confirm tooling cost and sample lead time before committing to production.
For interior designers or architects specifying this product across a multi-unit residential or hospitality project, we can also prepare a small physical sample board set showing two or three grain-and-color combinations side by side, which is often more useful for a client presentation than photographs alone.
We can ship these comparison sample sets by courier ahead of your main order confirmation, and the cost is generally modest relative to the value of getting design sign-off right the first time, especially on hospitality or multi-unit residential projects where a wrong color or pattern choice is expensive to correct after installation.
Certification & Quality Control
Because this line is chosen specifically for its visual quality, our QC process places extra weight on surface consistency in addition to the standard environmental and dimensional checks we run across all product lines.
| Certification / Test | Availability |
| REACH / RoHS compliance | Standard formulation compliant |
| FSC Chain of Custody (fiber source) | Available on request, depending on core material selected |
| Third-party lab reports | Slip resistance, water absorption, and UV/weathering test reports available (SGS/BV/Intertek) |
| Factory quality system | ISO 9001 factory management system |
Beyond our standard raw material inspection and dimensional monitoring during extrusion, we run an added visual QC step for this line: sample boards from each batch are checked against a reference pattern for embossing depth and pattern clarity, since a shallow or inconsistent emboss is the most common quality complaint on wood-grain finished composite. We are glad to send a current production sample before your order ships if you want to confirm grain depth and color match one more time.
For projects where the design team has approved a specific sample as the reference standard, we can keep that approved sample on file at our factory and check subsequent production batches against it directly, which gives your project a documented visual benchmark rather than relying on a general written description of the grain pattern.
This approved-sample process is particularly useful on multi-phase projects that place several orders over an extended construction period, since it keeps the grain and color consistent across phases even if there is a gap of several months between the first and later shipments.
Production Capacity & Lead Time
Because the wood grain finish is applied using dedicated embossing rollers as part of the standard extrusion line, capacity and lead time for this line generally track close to whichever core material you have selected, with a small addition for the finishing step.
| Item | Detail |
| Monthly capacity | Comparable to the selected core material's standard output, with embossing capacity managed across shared production lines |
| Sample lead time | 4-7 working days for existing grain patterns and colors |
| Standard order lead time | 18-26 days after deposit and pattern/color confirmation |
| New grain die lead time | Additional 25-35 days for a newly developed embossing pattern |
| Peak season note | Popular grain-and-color combinations can book up ahead of Q1 (Chinese New Year) - we recommend confirming your pattern choice early if your project has a fixed installation date |
We provide production progress updates and can share close-up photos of the embossed surface directly from the production line before your order is packed and shipped.
If your project requires a specific grain-and-color combination that is not currently in active production, we will confirm realistic timing before you commit, rather than assuming an existing pattern is always immediately available - some less common combinations may need a short setup run before full production begins.
We generally recommend confirming your grain pattern and color choice at least a few weeks before your target shipment date if you have a fixed installation window, since this gives us enough buffer to schedule your specific combination into the production queue without rushing the embossing calibration step.
Logistics & After-Sales Support
Shipping for this line follows the same general process as our other composite products, with a bit of extra care taken to protect the embossed surface from scuffing during handling.
- Shipping ports - orders typically go out via Ningbo or Shanghai port; FOB, CIF, or DDP quoting available
- Transit packaging - protective interleaving sheets between boards in addition to standard pallet stacking, shrink-wrap, and corner protectors, to reduce the risk of surface marks from board-to-board contact
- Documentation - commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin provided as standard; fumigation and inspection certificates available on request
- Damage/shortage claims - please photograph any container or surface damage at unloading; verified manufacturing defects are resolved through replacement stock or credit on the next order
- Installation guidance - installation manuals, fixing-system recommendations, and surface care guidance are provided for your installation team
Because visual consistency matters most on this line, our team can also advise on how to lay out boards from mixed grain-pattern batches so the finished installation looks natural rather than showing an obviously repeated pattern.
For larger installations, we can also number pallets by production batch so your installation crew can install board-by-board in a planned sequence, which helps distribute any minor natural pattern or shade variation evenly across the finished surface rather than clustering it in one area.
If your installation crew has not worked with wood-grain embossed composite before, we can also share a short visual guide on board orientation and pattern-matching tips at joints, which helps the finished result look more like a natural timber floor and less like a repeated composite pattern.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the wood grain texture wear down over time with foot traffic?
A: The embossed texture is part of the board's surface structure rather than a printed layer, so it holds up well under normal foot traffic; heavy commercial use over many years may show gradual smoothing in the highest-wear zones, similar to how real timber gradually wears.
Q: How many grain patterns are available?
A: We maintain a library of several non-repeating grain dies across our common color range, and can develop a new pattern if none of the existing options match your target look closely enough.
Q: Can this be combined with the co-extrusion capped surface?
A: Yes, the wood grain emboss can be applied to our capped surface line for buyers who want both the realistic look and the added weather protection of a capped board.
Q: Will boards from different production batches show visibly different grain patterns?
A: Some natural variation between batches is expected and is actually part of what makes the finish look realistic rather than uniform; for a single continuous installation, we recommend ordering from one production run where possible to keep the look consistent.
Q: Is this more expensive than a smooth or brushed finish?
A: There is typically a modest premium over a plain brushed or smooth surface, reflecting the embossing tooling and finishing step, though it is generally far less than the price difference between composite and genuine hardwood decking.
Q: Can I request a sample board before approving a full project order?
A: Yes, we recommend this for any project larger than a small trial order - a physical sample under your actual site lighting conditions is the most reliable way to confirm the grain and color before committing to a full container.
