MINI CITY
COLORING AND WRAPPING PAPER
TURN ANY OF YOUR GIFT BOXES INTO 3D BLOCK BUILDINGS!
More than 230,000 miles of wrapping paper thrown away each year during the holiday season. Even worse, the vast majority of this paper could not be recycled, as a lot will contain plastic. ( shiny wrapping papers)
With all this in mind, it is clear that we are working to make the holiday more sustainable. Wrapping papers and cardboard boxes of presents typically lose their function very quickly. The products on the market do not offer an alternative to further use of packaging materials to increase the “lifespan” of the paper.
The idea was inspired by a childhood memory. Countless times, out of the boxes family no longer use, me and my older brother have built a “city” for different games.
Mini City a much more environmentally friendly alternative than traditional wrapping paper. The basic concept of the product is to extend the life of common packaging as a child's play. It educates with playfulness about sustainability and recycling.
Together, the packaged boxes form the view of a block housing estate, a mini diorama, which provides a good basis for later play with the boxes.

From wrapped boxes, you can easily build a city. Thanks to the untreated surface, the wrapped gifts can also become 3D coloring sheet.
On the back of the paper strap there are some classic attributes of the former block era (e.g. squirrel wheel, rocket climber, concrete bench, etc.) which can be cut out to become part of the game. The nostalgic atmosphere of the elements helps even adults get involved in the game.
With MiniCity wrapping paper, in addition to existing gifts, we also add an extra, sustainable gift to your surprises.
The boxes can continue to be used as unique toys after gifting.
​
For gifts purchased for any occasion, the city can be easily expanded.
The packaged boxes, thanks to their new appearance, can even be used for toy storage later on.
