hands cutting cardboard to bespoke design

Bespoke Cardboard Creations

Corrugated cardboard is a versatile material, which can be cut and shaped in many ways to create bespoke packaging. The simple structure is remarkably lightweight, yet strong, making it ideal for shipping, storing and presenting goods.

The properties of corrugated cardboard, along with its availability, also make it an interesting material for sculptural design. We’ve seen many wonderful examples of cardboard art in galleries over recent years. However, this is often for visual effect, so what happens when bespoke cardboard creations are put tot he test?

Cardboard Put to the Test

If you would like to see how robust and adaptable this packaging material can be, take a look at the Cardboard Chaos YouTube site. In a recent video, they share a collaboration between cardboard suppliers, Ernest Packaging and specialist guitar makers, Stratocaster. Not only does the result look impressive, but it could also be played and produce an impressive sound.

In other videos, bespoke cardboard surfboards and skateboards are made and put to the test. In each project, this humble material performs beyond expectations.

In seeing what is possible, we can be inspired to see the potential for bespoke cardboard packaging that goes beyond the box.

If you have ideas that could be realised in cardboard, contact your local packaging manufacturer to discuss the possibilities.
