Puggy paperboard construction projects
This innovation initially came to life when…
I was trying to find helpful and useful toys for my nieces and nephew who had too many plastic toys. I was tired of watching the kids devote only a few minutes to an expensive Transformers toy. I wanted to give them products that were also eco-friendly and guilt-free (i.e. less contribution to landfill).
WHAT & HOW
The purpose of this innovation is to…
Contribute less to landfill, be eco-friendly and people-safe.
Inspire young minds, encourage their creativity and interaction.
It does this by…
When assembled, Puggy products become giant 3D canvasses for young minds to unleash their creativity.
This also satisfies the “cardboard box as toy” tendency that kids have.
PURPOSE & BENEFITS
This innovation improves on what came before because…
…it is 1) an Australian-designed product that is flatpacked more 2) compactly into a smaller carton for 3) shipping and storage in warehouse and on pallets. 4) Lightweight.
Its various benefits to the customer/end-user include…
- Affordable price point.
- Folds away for easy storage or disposal.
- Keeps children occupied for longer — ideal for occupying groups of children at parties.
- It is a unique product.
- Eco-friendly and people-safe.
- Interactive product that adults can participate with.
