{"product_id":"cardboard-sheep","title":"Cardboard Sheep","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe build these as part of our sculptural range, which means they’re designed as a starting point rather than a fixed product. The sheep can be playful, minimal, oversized, highly detailed, or somewhere in between depending on the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey’re often used in exhibitions, brand activations, retail displays, and public installations where you want something that draws attention but still feels considered within the space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sheep is constructed from cardboard to create a strong, freestanding structure. Internally, the form is engineered to handle its size without needing heavy framing, which keeps it lightweight and easy to transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCustomisation and Branding\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface can stay natural cardboard or be transformed depending on the brief:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull colour printing or branded graphics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePainted finishes or colour-blocked sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLayered cardboard tones for a more tactile look\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLogos or messaging integrated into the form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSustainability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is where cardboard really makes sense for sculptural work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sheep is primarily built from responsibly sourced, recyclable cardboard, which keeps material impact low compared to traditional fabrication methods. Because the structure is lightweight, transport emissions are also reduced, especially for larger installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost sculptures are designed with reuse in mind. They can be packed down, stored, and reinstalled across multiple events or activations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt end of life, the materials can be separated and recycled through standard cardboard streams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s also a bigger shift happening across events and exhibitions. More teams are being asked to consider waste, materials, and long-term impact. Using cardboard structures is one way to meet those expectations while still creating something visually strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a Certified B Corporation™, we’re part of a broader movement of businesses working towards better environmental and social outcomes, with accountability and transparency built into how we operate .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCardboard sheep sculptures work well anywhere you want a recognisable form that still feels creative and a bit unexpected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon uses include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExhibition features and gallery installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand activations and campaign launches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetail displays and window installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThemed events and seasonal activations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheatre sets and stage design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublic spaces and community events\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto moments and interactive zones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey’re especially effective when paired with other cardboard elements like walls, signage, or props to create a cohesive environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be reused for multiple events?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
