New Style Paper Art Moon Palace Set

Kit Snapshot

The New Style Paper Art Moon Palace Set is a foldable accordion honeycomb decoration that transforms from a flat 2cm-thick envelope into a 40cm tall three-dimensional lunar pavilion, complete with tiered roofline, arched moon gate, and layered cloud motifs. The set is engineered around the traditional Chinese honeycomb tissue technique — 120gsm accordion-cut tissue sheets bonded along alternating seams — paired with a 250gsm printed card facade that holds crisp architectural detail. Buyers pull the two halves apart, connect the magnetic tab closure, and the palace holds its shape without glue, tape, or assembly tools. It collapses back into its original flat state in seconds, which makes it a genuine multi-season asset rather than a single-use decoration.

Wholesale buyers gravitate to this SKU for three reasons. First, freight economics: 50 sets ship in a single 42×32×14cm carton at 4.8kg, versus the bulky pre-formed foam or acrylic alternatives that burn volumetric weight. Second, seasonal breadth — while Mid-Autumn Festival is the obvious peak, the same palace reads convincingly for Lunar New Year window displays, wedding photo backdrops, tea-house interiors, and East-Asian-themed event styling, giving it a 6-8 month sell-through window instead of a 3-week spike. Third, it slots naturally into the wider KitSnest Paper Craft Kits category, so distributors already carrying our Paper Lantern DIY Kits, Origami Flower Bouquet Sets, Quilling Starter Boxes, and Honeycomb Ball Party Packs can consolidate a full paper-decor assortment under one PO and one container booking.

Crafting Specs

Wholesale & Bulk Pricing

Our working MOQ is 50 sets per design, which keeps the door open for gift shops and boutique subscription curators testing the Paper Craft Kits category before committing. Custom colorways require 200 sets per color to justify a fresh press run, and full OEM work — your artwork on the facade panels, your brand on the header card and storage sleeve — starts at 1,000 sets. Private-label printing carries a one-time $180 plate charge, waived on repeat orders of the same artwork within 12 months.

Lead times: stock colorways ship in 7-10 working days from Yiwu. Custom colorways run 15-18 working days. Full OEM with bespoke artwork and retail packaging runs 22-25 working days including a digital proof and one physical pre-production sample sent by express at our cost. Peak Mid-Autumn season (May through July bookings) adds 5-7 days, so we recommend Amazon and marketplace sellers place FBA replenishment orders by early June. We support FOB Ningbo/Shanghai, EXW Yiwu, and DDP air or sea to US, EU, UK, AU, and CA destinations. Mixed-SKU containers are welcome — combine this set with our Paper Lantern DIY Kits, Honeycomb Ball Party Packs, or Origami Flower Bouquet Sets to hit volume tiers across the category rather than on a single line.

Perfect For

• Amazon and marketplace sellers — flat-pack format keeps FBA dimensional fees low, and the 96g net weight sits in the cheapest small-standard tier for most catalogs
• Subscription box curators — fits a standard 36×26cm mailer flat, no void fill needed, and the 8-12 minute assembly gives subscribers a satisfying unbox-to-display moment
• Gift shops and museum stores — strong shelf presence when one unit is displayed expanded next to flat stock, particularly in Asian art and cultural retail
• Educational distributors and classroom suppliers — pairs with Mid-Autumn, Lunar New Year, and world-cultures curriculum units for ages 6-12
• Event planners and photo-booth operators — reusable across 20+ setups, packs down between bookings, no storage penalty
• Restaurant, tea house, and hotel decorators — seasonal window and lobby styling that stores flat in a filing drawer for 11 months of the year
• Wedding and engagement stylists — the moon arch and osmanthus accent work as a table centerpiece or sweetheart-table backdrop element

Care & Safety Notes

• Materials are non-toxic and tested to EN71-3 and CPSIA for heavy metals and phthalates. Inks are water-based and solvent-free. Test reports are available on request for customs and marketplace compliance filings.
• Contains 6 magnetic tab closures with 8mm neodymium discs, factory-bonded under the card. Recommended for ages 6+ with adult supervision. We can supply a magnet-free hook-and-slot version for early-years and classroom channels at the same price tier.
• Keep away from open flame, candles, and halogen lighting. Tissue honeycomb is combustible. For lit installations, use LED tea lights or fairy lights only. A flame-retardant treated version is available on 2,000-set orders.
• Store flat in the supplied kraft sleeve, away from humidity above 70% RH, which softens the honeycomb bond and can cause the accordion to sag. Do not stack more than 20 folded sets on top of each other. Spot-clean with a dry soft brush; the set is not water-resistant and should not be wiped with a damp cloth.
• Reopen slowly on first use — pull the two halves apart with even pressure from the center outward rather than tugging one corner, which protects the seam bonds and extends the reuse cycle count.
