Did you know that ordinary paper and cardboard have repeatedly become the stars of world records? The materials we use every day for printing, packaging and creating a wide range of products can be truly impressive in terms of scale, engineering and creativity.
Here are just a few officially registered records:
🏆 The largest paper crane (origami)
Its wingspan measured 81.94 metres. A team of 800 people in Japan worked on creating the record-breaking figure, using a sheet of paper measuring 100 × 100 metres.
📖 The largest pop-up book
In 2026, a book measuring 4.70 × 6.10 metres and weighing around 816 kg was presented in Los Angeles. This large-scale project became a true work of printing and paper engineering.
📦 The largest pyramid made of cardboard boxes
A total of 85,853 cardboard boxes were used to create the record-breaking structure, which earned a place in the Guinness World Records.
📜 Paper — a material without limits
From the art of origami to large-scale installations, packaging and printing projects, paper and cardboard continue to prove that the combination of technology, craftsmanship and creativity can lead to truly record-breaking achievements.
💙 At UKRPOL, we work every day with materials that inspire big ideas. Because high-quality packaging is not only about protecting a product — it is also about creating a first impression that lasts.
