Molded pulp · Dragon egg · 15 g

An egg for
your small things.

A dragon egg pressed from paper pulp — one material, no plastic, no lining — made for jewellery, gifting and decor. Where the market builds this shape in three pieces, ours opens top-and-bottom in two, which removes a mould, an assembly step and the cost that comes with them.

Two-piece pulp shell: lid and base
The structure

One seam. Two halves.
No hardware.

The market builds this shape in three pieces — lid, body and a base ring. We redesigned it as two: the base ring is folded into the body, so the seam does the work. No hinge, no magnet, no lining.

  • 01

    Lid

    Deep-drawn dome with a 3 mm shoulder. Sits flush; never rattles in transit.

  • 02

    Seam-fit rim

    Stepped lip registers the two halves. Tolerances held to ±0.4 mm across the batch.

  • 03

    Flat base

    Moulded flat so the egg stands on a shelf by itself — retail-ready, no display stand.

Cost engineering

Two pieces.
Not three.

The same egg is normally built from a lid, a body and a separate base ring. Every extra part means another mould, another press cycle and another joint to inspect. We folded the ring into the body and let the seam do its job.

  • 01

    One less mould

    Two tool sets instead of three — lower tooling cost and a shorter changeover.

  • 02

    One less assembly step

    No ring to fit, glue or align. The base comes off the press finished.

  • 03

    One less failure point

    A glued ring is where pulp containers leak, split and get rejected at QC.

Colorways

Eight colors.
One shelf system.

Eight stock colours, shot under the same light. Deep tones for the shelf, pale tones for gifting — we courier a physical chip card before you commit to a run.

Colour is matched to a physical master, not to a screen. Deep tones show fibre mottling more than white — expect a ±3% shade variance between batches, so every lot is shot under D65 before it ships.

The material

Pressed paper.
Nothing else.

Bamboo pulp, bagasse and wood fibre — wet-pressed in a matched steel mould, then oven dried. No resin, no glue, no plastic liner. The surface keeps the fibre grain, so every piece is slightly different by design.

  • —

    Plastic-free

    No polyethylene, no PLA coating, no lamination anywhere in the shell.

  • —

    2.6 mm wall

    Heavier than the 1.8–2.0 mm standard shell, so it holds its shape on a shelf and survives a drop without a foam insert.

  • —

    Home compostable, ~90 days*

    *Certified to OK compost HOME / NF T51-800. Not certified for marine degradation. Certificate available on request.

  • —

    Water-based inks only

    Logos and colour are printed with water-based pigment — no solvent, no heavy metals.

  • —

    Recyclable as paper

    Uncoated and unglued, so the shell goes into mixed paper collection. Check your local programme.

What goes in

Three fibres. One shell.

What goes into the mould sets the wall thickness and how smooth the face comes out — bamboo for flex, bagasse for bulk, wood for finish.

None of it is grown for this mould. It is what the mill or the sugar plant has already set aside.

Dense bamboo grove
01 · Bamboo

Long fibre, flex

Harvestable in three to five years without replanting. The long fibre is what lets a 2.6 mm wall flex instead of cracking.

Harvested sugarcane stalks stacked
02 · Bagasse

The crushed stalk

What is left after the juice is pressed out. Mills burn it; we buy it and mould with it, so the sugar season ends up in a shell.

Split softwood logs stacked
03 · Wood pulp

Short fibre, smooth face

Sawmill offcuts and thinnings. Shorter fibre packs tighter, which is why the wood-heavy batch comes out with the smoothest surface.

Where it lives

Four places
it earns its keep.

  • Jewellery

    Rings, earrings and chains stop scattering. The matte shell hides fingerprints.

  • Nightstand

    Keys, card, a hair tie — one object, closed, out of sight.

  • Gifting

    Holds a bracelet, a candle, a chocolate. The egg is the box — no secondary packaging.

  • Decor & retail

    Eight colors side by side read as a collection. Sits on a shelf as an object on its own.

Our story

Power, wisdom
and a dragon egg
you can hold.

In the old stories a dragon stands for power, wisdom, and everything just out of reach. DragonEgg borrows that shape and brings it down to the table — a two-piece dragon egg you can hold, crack open, and fill with whatever the story needs.

Each egg is pressed, dried and finished by hand. Wall thickness is checked, the lip is moulded to click shut, and the surface stays bare so you can feel the fibre instead of a coating.

The material is bamboo, bagasse and wood pulp — clean, uncoated, and back in the ground within ninety days. No plastic, no laminate, nothing that outlives the egg.

Power. Wisdom. Mystery. And a dragon egg that returns to the earth.

Questions

Before you ask.

The shell is uncoated bamboo, bagasse and wood pulp, certified to OK compost HOME / NF T51-800 and breaking down in a domestic heap in about 90 days. It is not certified for marine degradation, so please do not claim that. We supply the certificate with every bulk order.

Yes for normal humidity, no for standing water. The pressed shell resists hand moisture and steam, but soaking will soften the fibre. If your channel is a wet room, ask about our 1.5% beeswax dip — still plastic-free.

Yes — Pantone colour matching and logo in deboss or water-based print, from 10,000 pcs. Deboss is cut into the mould; print is quoted per colour.

Mould plan and quote come back in 5 working days. A 3D file becomes a physical first sample in 12 days — including a real fit test and an ISTA 1A drop test.

We hold the eight standard colours and can ship DDP to a US or EU 3PL. Tell us your monthly run rate and we will quote a holding plan.
