About Us

Cardboard !

We are a new and innovative company who are producing children’s furniture and toys made from re-cycled cardboard. “Cardboard!” we hear you cry. Indeed. Your image of the dolls house you tried to construct with the packaging from your Christmas gifts, falling apart as the first doll was placed on the floor, may leave you feeling somewhat sceptical, but when you see how card can be engineered to be robust and sturdy you may well be changing your mind. Our designer has over 20 years experience in the packaging industry and has been awarded for his work with major companies. All of these new products are registered with the Patent office and hold the CE mark.

The Look !

We are aware children often have much more fun with the packaging than the gift inside. Children have a deep sense of creativity and imagination. All of our products can be decorated using paint, collage, crayons – you are only limited by their imagination. When a child has had some creative input they hold a real sense of ownership and they take pride in their achievements. Alternatively artistic parents, nursery practitioners or party hosts can decorate and personalise the toys/furniture for the special little people in their lives. If a group wanted their own company logo or design printed onto the products this could be arranged.

Our first product was the toddler chair. Originally designed for our own children it became an instant hit with their friends. We then saw the potential for an environmentally sound product that bridged the gap between plastic and wooden toys

Storage !

All of our products can be dismantled and folded flat for storage. This also makes an ideal solution for playworkers who are working with mobile crèches and making home visits or for people running children’s’ parties as everything can be put into the boot of the car. It is not heavy to carry and does not take long to assemble on arrival. We have childminders using our chairs that like the fact that they can be put away and their homes can become …well, homes again! Nurseries appreciate being able to store items such as dolls houses without needing plenty of storage space and parents appreciate being able to gain floor space when a child has finished playing.

As a company we are in the process of developing even more products all of which are designed to promote and develop imaginative play. Please do visit our web site www.paperpod.co.uk for more information. We always welcome any feedback and ideas from our customers.
