• You can decorate with a clear conscience. The board is made from 100% recycled material.

Why this cardboard pork knuckle makes a difference

A motif that suits the occasion turns a laid table into an invitation. Your guests see at a glance that hearty food is on the menu. You don't have to cut out shapes yourself. You have a ready-made silhouette in your hand that you only need to decorate. That leaves you more time before the party for what really matters. And the result still looks as if it was made with lots of love.

Material & finish

The silhouette is made from sturdy solid board in bookbinding quality. Bookbinders have always used this material for strong covers, because it doesn't bend easily. The surface is smooth and takes paint, glue and varnish well. The brown laser-cut edges give the motif a clear, clean outline. The board is untreated, so you start on a neutral base. Every pork knuckle is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Good to know about pork knuckle

Hardly any dish has as many names as pork knuckle. In northern Germany it's called Eisbein, in Franconia Knöchla, in Saxony-Anhalt Bötel and in Switzerland Gnagi. That's exactly why the silhouette works everywhere. Whether as a sign at a Bavarian pork knuckle stall or as decoration for a Franconian regulars' table, the motif is recognised instantly.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Store the board dry and flat. Then it keeps its shape and stays ready to use for a long time. Avoid constant damp and wet conditions. As an untreated natural material, cardboard isn't made for that. Once decorated, you can reuse your knuckle from party to party.

• Width freely selectable from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps
