Arnold Wood Turning supplies colored dowels in bulk for OEMs, manufacturers, and retailers that need easy-to-identify, ready-to-stock components. With optional color coding and UPC bar-coding, these dowels are built for programs where organization, inventory control, and clear sizing are just as important as durability.

Colored Dowels for Organized, High-Volume Programs

Dowels can be produced in a range of diameters, lengths, and species, then marked or finished to match your sizing or product system. Color application and marking are designed to help your team (and customers) quickly distinguish between sizes at a glance for manufacturing, retail sets, kit-based products, and more.

Common Uses for Colored Dowels

These dowels are ideal wherever visual differentiation and organization matter.

Typical applications include:

  • Retail and wholesale programs that need color-coded sizes

  • Educational, DIY, and craft kits where color aids instruction and sorting

  • Fixtures, displays, and components that benefit from built-in visual cues

UPC Bar Coding and Printing Options

For retail or warehouse programs, we can apply UPC bar coding and related printing, so dowels move cleanly through your existing inventory and POS systems. Combined with color coding, this creates a component that is both easy to recognize on the shelf and straightforward to track in your back-end operations.
