{"product_id":"cardboard-easter-eggs","title":"Easter Eggs","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese oversized cardboard Easter eggs sit within our sculptural range and are designed to bring a sense of scale, colour, and play into a space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey’re often used as hero pieces in seasonal activations, retail displays, exhibitions, and public installations where you want something that feels instantly recognisable but still completely custom to your brand or concept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt their simplest, they’re bold sculptural forms. At their best, they become photo moments, storytelling pieces, or part of a larger themed environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow These Cardboard Sculptures Work\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternally, the structure is engineered to hold its shape while remaining lightweight enough for transport and install. Depending on size, they can be built in sections so they’re easier to move through doors, lifts, or exhibition halls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outer surface is then finished based on the design. This could be clean raw cardboard, printed wraps, painted finishes, or layered detailing depending on the look you’re going for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor larger eggs or public environments, we factor in stability and weighting during the design stage so they feel solid and safe in high-traffic spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCustomisation and Branding Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShape, Size and Scale\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese can range from small tabletop pieces through to large-scale sculptures over 2 metres tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProportions can be adjusted depending on where they’ll sit in a space.

Businesses are increasingly expected to consider their environmental and social impact, and working with materials like cardboard is one way to move toward that without compromising on creativity or visual impact .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese cardboard sculptures work well across a range of environments:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eretail activations and seasonal window displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eshopping centre installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ebrand activations and campaigns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eexhibitions and public installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003etheatre and set design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ephoto moments and social media content spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecommunity events and workshops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey’re especially effective where you want something recognisable, playful, and highly visual that draws people in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan they be reused for future events?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
