Our story
Fall. Get up. Keep going.
Every plaster is proof that you tried something. That's what Dappr is about.
The why
“When you fall, why would you have to hide your wound behind a beige plaster?”
Amar and Jochum both have young children. They saw life moving more and more indoors, while the adventure is outside. In the tree, on the pavement, on the pitch.
Whoever dares sometimes falls. That's nothing to hide. A plaster is not a sign of bad luck, but of courage.
That's why the brand is called Dappr.
Our own falls and getting back up
We fall too. Often, even.
Building a brand around carrying on doesn't happen in a straight line. These are our grazes so far.
The name
Fell
Our first name was Stikky. Just before production, it turned out an English party had held that name registered for years. Production stopped, back to square one.
Got up
We started again. That's how it became Dappr, and to be fair, that suits us much better.
The tin
Fell
People found our first tin looked too expensive. And a retailer gave us honest feedback on the packaging.
Got up
We swallowed our pride, listened carefully and adjusted it.
The investment
Fell
A planned investment round didn't go ahead. That hurt.
Got up
We found another route and simply kept building.
The products
Fell
We came up with our first products mainly from our own point of view.
Got up
Now we listen more and more closely to the people who use them: children, teens, athletes and adults.
And yet we're now in Etos, DA and Schiphol, we've won two Pentawards and we're teaming up with Kinderpostzegels.
What we stand for
A mindset, not a medicine cabinet
Dare to fall
Whoever never falls, tries too little. Climb, run, skate: go for it.
Show your plaster
A plaster is not a sign of bad luck, but of courage. So stick it on with pride.
Good for skin and planet
Made from bamboo, plastic free and PFAS free. Gentle on your skin and on the world you play in.
Bring it on
Plaster on and keep going. On the pitch, on the pavement, at the skate park.
How we show it
A plaster that stands out
Our logo leans forward, as if it's already on the move. The plaster got its own shape that you recognise straight away, and the sturdy tin goes everywhere with you so you can keep it.
That design won gold and silver at the Pentawards in 2024, the biggest international prizes for packaging design. We created the brand and packaging together with Brandnew Amsterdam.
