Fun Fact:In making the Card35 camera, I disassmebled an entire Fujifilm disposable camera to know what parts needed to be in the camera. Those same parts are all present in this camera.
As single-use film cameras make a cultural comeback, so does their environmental impact — with most ending up in landfills due to non-recyclable plastics. Card 35 reimagines the disposable camera with a cardboard body that’s returnable, rebuildable, and customizable, offering a more sustainable and creative analog experience.
The camera design is inspired by traditional small-format film cameras, that delivers the retro aesthetic people are used to in the market, with a high ceiling for customization across the entire surface that isn’t possible with other manufacturers.
Consumer Experience
Buying an individual camera or a kit that comes with filters, additional film, and lenses give users the control,
with a built in system for returning your camera for a discount on film processing that rewards user investment.
Identity
Cardboard is pushed to the forefront of all brand touchpoints. That manifests in the type of materials used in print, to treating photos and frames with slanted edges that echo a cardboard box.
