Sanyo Paper Corporation (Headquarters: Sennan City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director: Rokujiro Harada), a paper recycling service manufacturer established in 1928, is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its upcycle brand "crep" in September 2026. Its flagship product, the "Picnic Rug," which has sold over 100,000 units, has consistently proposed a new form of outdoor leisure by leveraging the "strength" of industrial crepe paper and the "texture" of recycled paper. To commemorate this milestone, a new design imbued with hand-drawn warmth, the "Picnic Rug Dot," was pre-sold at select stores starting March 26, 2026 (Thursday), and is now available for general sale from March 31, 2026 (Tuesday) at the official online store "Repepa." This standard design, following the existing stripe and border patterns, features a dot motif. The uneven "undulation" of the non-perfect circles and the bicolor scheme blend with the texture of industrial crepe paper, adding a pop of color to outdoor activities.
Find your favorite from a rich lineup
"crep" is an upcycle brand born from utilizing scrap industrial crepe paper used for packaging electric wires. Our core philosophy is built on two concepts: "being close to nature" and "upcycling." To mark the brand's 10th anniversary, we hope to create more opportunities for people to experience nature by helping them find their favorite from our extensive lineup, which now includes the newly added "Dot" design.
Commitment to the new "Dot" design
The newly released "Dot" design is not a mechanically aligned, inorganic pattern. We aimed for a rustic and warm expression, like pottery painted by a craftsman, deliberately adopting an "undulating" hand-drawn feel with imperfect shapes. The colors are available in two variations: "Pink," featuring pink x green to evoke the breath of spring, and "Blue," featuring blue x brown for a reassuring earthy feel. Three sizes are available to suit various needs: S (for 1 person), M (for 1-3 people), and L (for 2-4 people). The tough texture of industrial crepe paper combined with the playful hand-drawn design will transform outdoor moments into more exciting experiences.
