Project: Beyond - card dispenser with sliding effect incl. business card
Background
s part of a trade fair appearance or a direct marketing campaign, a high-quality, interactive card holder was to be created that combines three functions:
-
A surprising push effect to activate the target group
-
A presentation area for product or message
-
An integrated business card that is elegantly supplied – but not enclosed loose
The aim was to combine classic business cards with an exciting, interactive print product in order to trigger curiosity, playfulness and memory in the recipient.
The challenge
How do you create maximum impact in the smallest format?
The implementation required a clever mechanism with clear functionality and robust workmanship. The biggest challenge was to develop a movement construction in which the business card appears elegant and flowing without the mechanism appearing bulky.
The design and function of the entire system had to be coordinated with the customer’s CI – with a particular focus on haptics and user guidance.
