this is apparently the only meaning of paper engineering, it is related also to the creation of paper toys and pop up books. --Melaen (talk) 00:44, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. "paper engineering" as applied to toys and books is missing. David Spector (user/talk) 14:40, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not only that. A major application of paper engineering creates the vast variety of practical and ingenious packaging of objects of all sorts and sizes, from the deceptively simple cardboard box to the ubiquitous and familiar egg box both of which are engineered to provide adequate strength to protect the contents and to allow stacking to the desired height while being as economical as possible to produce. This is a highly technical job involving knowledge of many different materials (even though all of them may be paper of some sort) and of the mathematics of structures. This is a far larger field than toys and books. treesmill (talk) 22:43, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
