Why this tank silhouette makes a difference

Making a tank from cardboard sounds like a lot of preparation. With a ready-made cutout, your project starts where the fun begins. Instead of wonky edges and torn corners, you hold a rigid silhouette that doesn't give while you paint. Your craft idea becomes something you'll happily display, give away or lay on the table as decoration.

Material & finish

The firm solid board in bookbinding quality gives your design real stability. At 1.2 mm thick and 755 g/m², it doesn't warp as quickly as thin craft card. The surface is smooth and untreated. You can paint it, colour it or stick things on it, just as your project needs. The edges are cleanly laser-cut. The laser process darkens them, which gives the silhouette a clear outline. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the tank silhouette

• At a children's party: each child paints their own cardboard tank. At the end, they take home a keepsake they designed themselves.
• As table or theme decoration at parties and celebrations: spread out a few silhouettes in different sizes. The theme is clear at a glance.
• In a craft class or group: with a set of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces, everyone gets identical blanks. You plan the session, not the cutting.
• For model-making and collectors' shelves: use a painted silhouette as a backdrop or sign. Your display looks thought-through rather than thrown together.
• In a shop or at a stall: a decoration you can write on, laser-cut in the size you need. Quick to set up and easy to redesign when required.

Good to know about bookbinding board

Bookbinding board was originally developed for book covers. Its job is to stay rigid and flat for years. That helps you when crafting. The silhouette ripples much less than thin card when you paint it. It also stands securely in your decoration, even with things stuck on.

Care & durability

There's not much to do. Store the board dry and flat, and it keeps its shape. Avoid lasting moisture, as untreated board absorbs water. Kept dry, the silhouette will last a long time as decoration or for your next project.
