Paperboard Tool Case
Slim Toolbox with Paper's Warmth and Comforting Functionality
Story
This fold-out paper-based tool case is crafted using traditional box-making techniques, where people and machines work together in harmony. Skilled artisans designed a lightweight and easy-to-carry square-shaped tool case that opens horizontally into a tray for easy access to the contents.
The case contains two built-in magnets positioned at diagonally opposite corners of the base when opened. These magnets help keep paperclips and other small metal items in place. When placed on a metal desk, they also help stabilize the tray.
Slim and compact, it fits easily into small spaces in a bag. Its versatile design lends itself to a variety of uses, making it suitable for storing not only stationery but also sewing tools and notions.
Ruler markings are embossed onto the surface of the case—handy for taking quick measurements.
Two 1 cm square magnets are built beneath the tray lining at diagonally opposite corners of the base.
