M&W Design Co., a sustainable souvenir and gift manufacturer, has launched “ThinPrints” as a new product in its Home/Gift division. These new sustainably sourced signs made of furniture-grade wood are “thin enough to hang, wide enough to sit and fun enough to show off,” according to the company.

ThinPrints come in various categories, including family, work, fun, sarcasm and holiday. According to M&W Design Co., these unique signs offer a fresh take in the home decor market. The new product line brings the values of M&W Design to the home and gift market, offering a new product line that is sustainable and made in the USA.

“We have a lot of fun bringing these words to life with our designs,” says Mike Whalen, founder of M&W Design. “Not only do some of these pull at your heartstrings, make you laugh or radiate positivity, but in some instances also say out loud what others are thinking.”

According to M&W Design, each new product in the line is designed to be unique and memorable, making them perfect for gift shops, souvenir stores, boutiques and other retail locations.

“We spoke to the marketplace and listened to the fact that they were asking for a product which could be put in multiple places, including tight areas other products are not able to fit,” says Alec Carr, business development director at M&W Design.

Whalen founded M&W Design Co. in 2018 after spending years in the scrap metal industry, witnessing the importance of recycling and reuse. That experience inspired him to create something meaningful that resonates with the values of sustainability and longevity. M&W Design is a certified B Corporation, meeting high standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal accountability with its products. The company also supports OneTreePlanted.org and Water.org — products purchased from M&W Design donate to these organizations.

“As our brand grows, we continue to expand into new categories in which we feel can make a difference,” says Whalen. “Being able to make a product here in the USA and do it sustainably, while also being competitive, energizes us. We’re excited to push the envelope and create products that bring awareness to consumers. Products such as ThinPrints show that being diligent, listening to the marketplace and being creative show what is possible. We look forward to being different from other traditional companies and creating change in the industries we evolve into.”
