Cardboard aeroplane craft – Jumbo-Jet V2 cardboard cutout

The children's birthday party is coming up. The theme is clear: it's time to take off. If you want to make an aeroplane from cardboard, you usually need a clean base shape first. That's exactly what this Jumbo-Jet V2 gives you. It's a ready laser-cut cutout made from sturdy bookbinding board, just right for your craft table. You skip the tedious cutting out and can get started on the fun part right away: painting, gluing and decorating.

What changes for you

• You start creating straight away instead of printing and cutting out templates. The jumbo jet is already cleanly laser-cut along its outline.
• Your decorations look even and well planned, even with lots of pieces. The sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces all have identical shapes.
• You get exactly the size that suits your idea. Choose any height from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Your paints, pens and glue hold reliably. The untreated, smooth surface is easy to paint, coat and stick things on.
• You can craft with a clear conscience. The solid board is made from 100% recycled material.

Why this cardboard cutout makes a difference in everyday life

At the craft table with children or while preparing a themed party: a sturdy, ready-made base shape makes everything easier. You don't get held up by flimsy templates. You see results quickly. And if all the cardboard aeroplanes for your travel theme have the same clean silhouette, the whole decoration looks calmer and more uniform. That leaves more time for what it's really about: creating together and looking forward to the occasion.

Material & finish

The solid bookbinding-quality board is 1.2 mm thick and weighs 755 g/m². It feels pleasantly sturdy in your hand and copes well with eager little hands. The surface is smooth and untreated. Paint, glue and pens adhere well, with no coating getting in the way. The outline is laser-cut. This creates the typical dark grey to brown edges. They are a feature of the process, which gives you the clean, exact shape. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use your Jumbo Jet

• At an aeroplane-themed children's birthday party: each child paints their own jet. At the end, every guest takes their self-designed aeroplane home.
• As a send-off before a big trip or a year abroad: write good wishes on a large jumbo jet. Your farewell gift then has its own personal stage.
• Making cardboard aeroplanes at nursery or school: a class set of identical shapes means you spend your time with the children, not with the scissors.
• As tags for travel vouchers for a birthday, wedding or Valentine's Day: small jets of 5–10 cm. The envelope hints at the destination as soon as you hand it over.
• In a travel agency or shop window: hang several sizes at staggered heights. Your display tells the story of the next holiday without many words.

Good to know about the Jumbo Jet

"Jumbo jet" is the affectionate nickname of the Boeing 747. From 1970, it was the first wide-body aircraft to make travel affordable for many people. To this day, it is a symbol of wanderlust. That's why the silhouette works so well for anything to do with travel. Use it for a dream holiday voucher or a farewell party before the big adventure.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Store the cutouts somewhere dry and flat, and they will keep their shape. The board is untreated, so avoid long-term moisture. When painting with very wet paint, apply thin coats and let them dry well. This keeps the silhouette smooth and flat.
