WHAT MAKE OUR TEMPLATE SPECIAL?
- Designed for corrugated cardboard. Unlike paper, corrugated cardboard has thickness. And our template is designed to deal with that!
- Can be used on new cardboard or USED cardboard. It is a sustainable craft in mind!
Just search for cardboard with a thickness ranging from 0.5mm to 4mm. You can use thicker than 4mm but that will need more energy to fold. For the best result: just buy new 1.5mm thick E-Flute cardboard.
- A4 Native paper with no splitted template part.
Each piece inside of this template is less than A4 wide. This gives you three advantages: 1. You don't need to unify the splitted template part before applying them to cardboard because no part is splitted. 2. It doesn't require wide cardboard, so you can use any cardboard scraps at home, and 3. Easier to print because A4 paper and printers are widely available worldwide.
- Fast and easy. KRAF Studio's crafting technique is relatively fast and easy compared to other cardboard crafting techniques.
- It uses easy-to-find tools.
- Our templates conceal cardboard edges. Makes it look tidy and seamless.
