The Point.1888 eyes partners across toys, crafts and more for Pop Paper City

The Point.1888 is leading the licensing push for the award-winning children’s series, Pop Paper City.

Pop Paper City follows paper characters Plom and friends who embark on adventures fuelled by crafting and creativity.

“We are thrilled to partner with The Point 1888,” said Georgina Hurcombe, Creator of Pop Paper City.

“Their wealth of experience in developing brand licensing programs aligns perfectly with our vision. I’ve always wanted to create a series that encourages ‘doing as well as viewing,’ and now, with The Point 1888, we’re excited to bring our characters and stories to life in new and exciting ways.”

Will Stewart, CEO and Founder at The Point.1888, added: “We were captivated by Pop Paper City’s unique concept – a ‘craft adventure’ series that not only entertains but also promotes play and sustainability.

“It’s unique and the 52 episodes already available offer diverse opportunities for toys, arts & crafts, publishing and much more. We’re excited to bring this series to BLE next week”.
