Male symbol made of cardboard – craft cutout, 5–50 cm

The Father's Day card is on the table. Paints and glue are ready. All that's missing is a motif that says at once what it's about. The cardboard male symbol is made for exactly this. It's a classic male symbol in 1.2 mm bookbinding board, ready for crafting, painting and decorating. It's just right for your next craft project. You take it out of the parcel, and your idea takes shape.

• Your cards, signs and gifts get a clear motif that everyone recognises at once. That's thanks to the distinct shape of the classic gender symbol.

Why this cardboard cutout makes a difference day to day

A ready-cut motif takes care of the most tedious part for you: cutting it out neatly. You can focus on the fun part – choosing colours, designing, decorating. And the result still looks as if it were made with a steady hand. Whether you're crafting with children at the kitchen table or getting ready for a party: you'll get a result you're happy to show off, and faster.

Material & finish

The solid board in bookbinding quality is 1.2 mm thick and weighs 755 g/m². It feels noticeably sturdy in your hand. It doesn't warp as easily as thin paper when you glue things onto it. It can also take a heavy coat of paint. The surface is smooth. The laser-cut edges are brown and cleanly finished. So you can use the motif straight away, even unpainted. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

• For money gifts for birthdays, engagements or weddings: the motif holds the notes, and the recipient sees at once who it's meant for.
• On doors and rooms: varnished and in a suitable size, the symbol labels a room clearly and permanently. At home, in a café or at the clubhouse.
• On the party table for Valentine's Day or a celebration: place a small symbol at every seat. Your table decoration tells a story before the first drink is poured.
• In your business or shop: with sets of 10 or more, you can equip signage or promotional decorations consistently. Same shape, same quality, quick set-up.

Good to know about the man symbol

The sign with a circle and arrow goes back to the symbol of the Roman god Mars. It is read as a shield and spear. For centuries it has stood for the male. This long tradition is what makes it so clear. On a door, a card or a sign – everyone understands at a glance what it means.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Store the untreated cutout in a dry place and keep it away from moisture. Then the cardboard keeps its shape and strength. A coat of paint or varnish makes the surface more resistant. That way your motif stays looking good for a long time.
