    Wooden Banana has been a loyal sponsor and partner of Way Up North since our first event in Stockholm in 2015. Back then, they only sold one product: wooden boxes. Fast forward to today, and they’ve grown exponentially, offering everything from albums to packaging, all-inclusive services to prints. Their approach is straightforward: grow your business naturally, and have a bit of fun along the way. You might have even experienced that fun firsthand at the legendary Wooden Banana Party, which has become a beloved tradition to cap off each Way Up North event.
