Manufacturing reference

What this reference shows, and what you would decide.

What the build has to support

Mapped audio
Mapped audio ties every button, page or spot to one track. The map is a deliverable in its own right: build it early, review it in the target language and freeze it before the sound module is programmed.
Learning
Learning content needs an age grade, a reference for what it teaches and a review of the wording in every language you ship. Decide who signs off the educational claims that appear on the pack.

Decisions this product type puts in front of you

  • Board and binding Board thickness, lamination and binding decide whether the product survives a year in a nursery. Spiral, sewn and glued bindings behave differently under a battery module, so choose the binding and the module together.
  • The audio map Write the map before the artwork is final: page, spot, track, length and language. It is the document the sound module is programmed from, and a late change to it is a late change to every unit.
  • Buttons and contacts Printed contact sheets, moulded buttons and touch spots have different failure modes and different costs per unit. Decide the count and the layout with the illustrator in the room.
  • Battery and safety The battery compartment on a book is the part a safety review looks at first. Confirm the cell type, the screw fixing and the age grade before the module is sourced.
  • Print and finishing Paper stock, ink and finish change how the audio panel is mounted and how the book lies flat. Approve a printed and assembled dummy rather than a flat proof.
