Virtually any cardboard clothing box can be transformed into a toy with a little ingenuity but Petit Pli's origami-inspired box makes it easy on kids and adults alike. As a brand that specializes in creating innovative garments for kids with a focus on waste reduction, Petit Pli created a simple shipping box that can be transformed into a wearable jetpack for children. This object is not just an imaginative plaything for kids but also a reference to the aerospace engineering techniques used by the brand in its designs.
The clever cardboard box design reduces the packaging cost per unit by more than 80%, thanks to the fact that it integrates pleated tissue paper created from a by-product and a string fastener that can be reused to make the jetpack wearable.
