Wire-O Scratch Art Books Produced for arsEdition
Imago are leaders in producing unique, bespoke activity books for both adults and children alike, and this series of wire-o scratch art books is no exception. We work closely with publishers arsEdition to produce scratch art books for the German market and also produce co-editions in other languages, including Spanish and French.
Scratch Art Books with Special Finishes
These particular wire-o scratch-art books include many different effects including holographic foils that are revealed when the specially formulated scratch ink is removed and even a spirograph set, sourced by Imago, for users to create beautiful geometric patterns.
These pages with scratch ink have been produced to include guidance on the corresponding page for the children to complete the artwork with a finished example, however, it also encourages for them to create their own patterns with the scratch tool if they choose to do so.
Perfect Production
Imago have been directly involved with producing many other scratch art books that fall into the books plus category.
Many of these projects not only involve print management but also include product sourcing and safety testing to ensure the product is produced to the highest quality whilst remaining compliant with safety and other regulatory standards across different territories.
Safety Standards
Due diligence is at the root of our production process, all products are risk assessed by our experienced staff and safety expert so that any physical or chemical hazards are considered and appropriately checked, or laboratory tested.
Scratch-art books have play value and are considered toys and must carry the CE mark in Europe to demonstrate their compliance with EN71, PAHs according to the German AfPS standard and REACH.
Project Overview
Imago were tasked with both print management and product sourcing for these wire-o scratch art books.
These included the sourcing of the spirograph sets and FSC™ grade wooden scratch tools, both of which needed to go through rigorous testing to pass safety regulations in all markets that the products are distributed and sold.
Being able to offer a complete solution for producing these wire-o scratch art books with editions across different language markets enabled us to offer both a convenient single point of contact for the customer, plus the ability to negotiate a better cost per unit price.
Packing & Delivery
Not only do we ensure products are compliant and beautifully printed, but Imago also ensures that the fine details of packing, freight and delivery of products are managed throughout the process.
In the case of these stunning wire-o scratch art books, we stacked and packed them in a way to ensure that the wire-o binding did not mark the other books to keep them in pristine condition for delivery and sale.
