About Karton Design

Almost every project starts with the same question: 

"Can this really be made from cardboard?"

That is exactly where our work begins.

Not with a standard product or a catalogue, but with an idea. Sometimes it starts as a sketch on a napkin, sometimes as a fully developed concept, and sometimes as nothing more than a challenge that no one has solved before. That's exactly what makes our work so rewarding.

At Karton Design, we transform ideas into smart, sustainable cardboard solutions. From eye-catching displays and exhibition stands to furniture, packaging, stage sets, museum installations and unique custom-made objects. Every project is tailor-made and designed specifically for its intended purpose.

Cardboard is far more versatile than most people realise

By combining the right type of cardboard with an intelligent construction, we create solutions that are surprisingly strong, lightweight and sustainable. This makes cardboard suitable for far more applications than most people expect.

A display that is quick and easy to assemble. An exhibition stand that fits inside a passenger car. Furniture that is strong enough for everyday use. A museum installation that is lightweight, safe and circular.

These are exactly the kinds of challenges that inspire us.

A successful design is about more than creativity alone.

It starts with a thorough understanding of materials, structural design and production techniques.

Which type of cardboard is best suited for the application? Which construction provides the required strength? How can an object remain lightweight while being easy to transport and assemble? And how do we ensure that a design can be produced efficiently?

These are the questions we deal with every day.

Thanks to our expertise in cardboard materials, structural design and manufacturing techniques, we can determine at the design stage which solutions are technically feasible. This prevents unexpected issues during production and results in designs that are not only visually appealing but also practical, reliable and efficient to manufacture.

From first idea to finished product

At Karton Design, we manage the entire process from start to finish.

Every project begins with an idea, which we develop into a detailed technical design using professional CAD software specifically developed for the cardboard industry. We test constructions, create prototypes and refine every detail until the design is exactly right.

Using our CNC cutting table, we produce accurate prototypes and small production runs in-house. For larger quantities, we work with trusted partners specialising in digital printing, die-cutting and finishing.

This allows us to maintain complete control over every stage of the process, from the initial idea to the finished product.
