Rhineland-Palatinate cardboard cutout – silhouette for crafts

A move to another town, a milestone birthday, a gift of money with a link to home. Sometimes you are missing just the one motif that turns a nice idea into something personal. The Rhineland-Palatinate cardboard cutout shows your state as a clear silhouette in sturdy bookbinding board. It is made for your next craft idea. Paint it, stick things on it or write on it. The simple outline becomes a piece of home to give away or to keep.

What changes for you

• You can start decorating straight away instead of cutting out outlines by hand. The silhouette of Rhineland-Palatinate is already cleanly laser-cut.
• Your motif keeps its shape, even when you prime or paint it. That is thanks to 1.2 mm solid board with 755 g/m².
• You will find the right size for every project, from a gift tag to wall art. You choose the height from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Your paints and glues stick reliably. The board is untreated and has a smooth surface.
• You can craft with a clear conscience, including with children. The board is made from 100% recycled material.

Why this cardboard cutout makes a difference day to day

A ready-made state outline takes care of the tricky part. The shape is right and the edges are clean. You can focus fully on what makes your project special. An afternoon at the craft table becomes home-themed decor you will want to hang up. Or it becomes a gift that says more than any shop-bought card. At regional occasions, people recognise the familiar silhouette straight away. You do not need to explain much.

Material & finish

The sturdy solid board in bookbinding quality feels stable in your hand. It does not warp as easily as thin card while you work. The surface is smooth and untreated. You can glue things on, paint it or varnish it, just as you like. The brown edges come from the laser cutting. They give the cutout a clear, defined edge. Every piece is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

• As wall art in the hallway or living room: painted in your colours, the state outline becomes your own home-themed decor.
• In a shop, café or at the weekly market: the silhouette on the counter shows at a glance that your products are from the region. No long signs needed.

Good to know about Rhineland-Palatinate

Rhineland-Palatinate is Germany's number one wine region. Most German wine grows between the Moselle, Rhenish Hesse and the Palatinate. So the silhouette suits more than birthdays and moves. It also works well as decor for wine festivals and wine tastings. Or use it as a tag on a bottle gift from the region.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. Store the cutout in a dry place and keep it away from constant moisture. As untreated board, it is best kept indoors. That way, the shape and surface stay as you designed them for a long time.
