Manufacturing reference
What this reference shows, and what you would decide.
A wide format card reader and writing panel, shown here in more than one colourway on the same tooling.
The gallery covers the pink and the yellow builds: the same shell outline, card window, directional pad, speaker grille lines, panel aperture and stylus channel on the back. What differs is the case colour and the writing panel, which is the one specification change worth paying for. Keeping the card visible in a window while the child draws is what sets the width of the whole device.
Use this reference when the product combines a vocabulary card set with free drawing in one hand held device. Decide the card size and count first, since they set the shell. Then decide whether the panel writes in one colour or several, and how many functions the directional control needs.
Decisions this product type puts in front of you
- The card library Card count, trim size, board weight and coating decide both the tooling and the cost per set. Settle the vocabulary list and the artwork before the slot or the reader is drawn around a card that may change size.
- How a card is read A slot, an optical pen and a printed code are three different mechanisms with three different failure modes. Choose one and design the card stock for it, not the other way round.
- Screen or writing surface If the product also writes or draws, decide the panel size, the erase method and whether the stylus is tethered. That choice sets the case, the thickness and the battery.
- Audio and language Every card is a track. Agree the language list, the voice and the file naming scheme early, because adding a language after tooling means new cards as well as new audio.
- Safety and packaging Cards are small parts to a safety reviewer, and they are also the thing that gets lost. Set the age grade and the market first, then design the tray and the refill pack.
