Product made using a mass that includes natural polymers, wherein the product has at least a first product part connected by a hinge construction to a second product part, wherein the hinge construction has at least one flexible sheet element and at least one bridge portion made of the mass that includes natural polymers, wherein the hinge construction is designed such that, prior to a first time hinging, the at least one bridge portion forms a more rigid connection between the first and second product parts than the flexible sheet element and by hinging the bridge portion is severed, such that the first and second parts are substantially only connected by the at least one flexible sheet element.
A product made using a mass comprising natural polymers, wherein the product comprises a first product part connected by a hinge construction to a second product part, wherein the hinge construction comprises at least one bridge portion made of said mass comprising natural polymers and at least one flexible sheet element, wherein the hinge construction is designed such that, prior to a first time hinging, the at least one bridge portion forms a more rigid connection between the first and second product parts than the at least one flexible sheet element and by hinging said at least one bridge portion is severed, such that the first and second product parts are substantially only connected by the at least one flexible sheet element.
