Product Finishing & Customization

There are 5 major factors in the product finishing.
(some might be additional selling points to the product)

1. Textile (customization) for seat surfaces
– need a CATALOG of colours and fabric types (*fabric testing is still ongoing)
– choices limited to what is available
examples:
sample-textiles
(raw, carpet finishing, felt finishing, artificial fur finishing, synthetic animal skin finishing) etc.

2. Surface graphics on product
– need another set of CATALOG of various custom 2D ink designs for the side walls of the product (this adds value and character to the product itself)
– choices limited to what is available
– black ink only
– designs will be generated accordingly (I will do my own artworks)
examples:
*these are samples borrowed online just to show how it would look like

3. Instructions/Steps graphics (ongoing research)
– this information will be simplified to just simple graphics showing the basic steps
– in the real manufacturing process, this info will be printed on the interior side of each parts
– each parts will be labelled as A,B,C etc.
example:

4. Product packaging
– product will be packaged flat together with all the needed parts
– all these parts will then be *vacuum packed and stacked together
(like the ones for clothing and food items)
(saves space and waterproof)
– flat packing allows easy storage at the point of purchase and also easy mobility for both the retail workers and the customers
example:
sealed

5. Point of Purchase
– product will be flat-packed and stacked upon another, thus a sample of every module will be displayed along with the catalog of the various finishing
– this design will be sold in separate pieces, which means customer have to buy the 4 modules individually to complete a set
– this allows customers to choose what modules they desire to own and use for their kids
