Have You Seen the Tiniest Paper Engine Ever?

There are two kinds of people in the world: Those who make working V8 engines out of paper and those who don’t. And the YouTuber in the latter category tells one impressive story. That’s coming from our team, and we’re the people who do crazy cardboard things all the time, so that’s high praise!

Keep in mind, this isn’t just some tiny model engine that just looks cool. It actually moves and operates the same way a car engine would but by using air from a deflating balloon as the “fuel.” We snagged some of our favorite parts of this innovator’s video (below) and turned them into GIFs for a quick peek at some of the most amazing parts of this engine. You really should watch the video just to hear the sweet racket it makes when in use.

Hold your hand up as if you’re picturing a little mouse tearing around on a mini motorcycle powered by this paper bad boy? **HOLDS HAND INCREDIBLY HIGH**

Now, we know that paper can make amazing things, and how you use something as simple as paper to create magic is what really demonstrates your abilities. Sometimes you have to be willing to say “I’m going to try something new.” That’s what we call moving packaging forward.

Do you want a packaging partner who thinks paper is just for boring stuff like brown boxes with brown insides held together with brown tape? Or do you want to work with pros at shrinking the amount of packaging you think you need and still creating something truly original and noteworthy to represent your brand? For example, let’s say you want to ship fragile orchids around the country and prefer they not be crushed. Would you want a packaging partner with experience doing just that with the least amount of packaging?

Yeah, that’s what we thought. Kickstart your packaging and push it into high gear with Ernest Packaging Solutions. Contact us today to get started.
