Hello, we’re Paper Engine and we’re the happy creators of an exciting range of paper and board Build-Your-Own® products designed to inspire brilliant young minds, capturing active imaginations in a fun, engaging way that reduces screen-time and brings families together to create rich memories.

Our premium paper and board kits are easily constructed using slot-together techniques to create fun, tactile and robust products. No glue, no mess, no fuss. Kids will love spending quality time interacting and making their product with a parent, grandparent, older sibling or other family member and once built, they can enjoy using their very own creation – each has a unique function and provides hours of entertainment. They can even impress their friends with their awesome engineering skills.

It’s a little bit genius. A little bit retro. A lot cool.

Our eco-friendly products are proudly designed in the UK by a team of brilliant paper engineers who live, breathe and dream about paper (yes, they really do!). Each Build-Your-Own product is made from high-quality, sustainable materials. We use minimal plastics in both our designs and packaging without compromising on integrity. Our company ethos is ‘less plastic, paper fantastic!’ We’re incredibly passionate about being as environmentally responsible as possible.
