As lightweight as paper and as strong as wood. Cardboard is a robust and functional material. At Cartonlab, we adapt each design to produce it with the type of cardboard needed.

Reduce your ecological footprint.

Cardboard is a material with low environmental impact. 100% recyclable and reusable. We work with certified materials that come from responsibly managed forest plantations.

Lighter than a feather.

Functional and versatile. Cardboard is a multipurpose and reusable material. Easy storage and transport. In addition, it is fully customizable and printing can be done directly on its surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have a project for you. How do you operate?

Send us a briefing with the greatest possible detail and we will send you a budget and take care of the design.

How long does it take for you to produce a project?

We produce and manage all projects on an individual basis. Delivery time is about 2-3 weeks from the time the design is approved. Depending on complexity of the project, this process can extend even several months. If you are in a hurry, it is best to select previously designed products from our online store.

What if it gets wet? What if it catches fire?

Based on customer request, we can apply fire and moisture resistant treatments to the cardboard. However, our designs are intended for use in indoor spaces. By the very nature of the material (cardboard), direct sunlight, moisture, rain and wind have a negative affect on it.

Do you make customized furniture? What would be the minimum order for a new design?

We make new custom designs as long as the budget and the number of units to be produced is materially important. The design of new products and projects requires an expensive initial structural design and prototyping work, which must be applied to the final production.

What kind of cardboard do you use?

We use up to five different types of cardboard according to the needs for strength and functionality of each product or project. (Corrugated cardboard, honeycomb, alveolar, compact, etc.) All of them have the FSC certificate (Forest Stewardship Council recognized worldwide). This certification ensures that the raw material from which the manufacturer produces the cardboard originates from well-managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits.
