Understanding Category 7380: Cardboard Cutouts
The Cardboard Cutouts category, identified by Google Product Taxonomy ID 7380, falls under Home & Garden > Decor. This specific category is intended for rigid, stand-up display items made of cardboard used primarily for decorative purposes or novelty displays.
Products that belong in this category include life-size celebrity stand-ups, movie character cutouts, and tabletop versions of famous figures. Based on examples from the US market, this category includes items such as stand-up figures of actors, musicians, superhero characters, and themed movie icons like creatures or animated personas. These products are designed for entertainment or decorative events rather than functional household use.
Items that do not belong here should be placed in more appropriate neighbouring categories within Home & Garden. For instance, posters or printed wall art that are not rigid stand-ups should be categorized under Artwork. Decorative wooden signs or novelty items that are not cardboard stand-ups belong in Novelty Signs or Decorative Plaques. Figurines made of resin or other materials, rather than cardboard, should be classified under Figurines. If your product is a traditional hanging wall decoration or a functional item like a clock, it must be assigned to its respective specific category, such as Clocks or Wall Decor, to ensure proper classification.
There are no subcategories for this level, so you should use the category ID 7380 directly. In your feed, you can populate the google_product_category attribute with either the numeric ID 7380 or the full path string: Home & Garden > Decor > Cardboard Cutouts. Providing this attribute is optional, but it ensures Google correctly identifies your product type.
