Idea For LEGO.com: Custom Papercraft Boxes
March 12, 2011
I recently found this cool service offered by LEGO called ‘Design by Me’, which allows you to create a custom LEGO kit. What is extra cool is that your LEGO masterpiece is shipped to you in a custom package depicting your creation and it’s name (visible in the image above).
That is just awesome.
One thing I would like to see: have the ‘Design By Me’ website churn out a papercraft of that custom box, as an option for customers who might not purchase the full product. I think having that iconic (papercraft) LEGO box sitting on your desk featuring your awesome design would look cool. Be sure to toss a few LEGOS inside for authenticity.
What makes this easy for LEGO to do is that when they are outputting the art for printing the custom box, it is in flat 2D form, much like a papercraft sheet.
A small charge of $1-3 for a custom papercraft box is ideal. Remember to use Card Paper kids.
I might just make one featuring my waving LEGO mascot for myself. I wish I had the time to churn out custom work for everyone, but I think this LEGO site can achieve that.
