Joylabz

Makey Classic

After Internet success through Kickstarter, Joylabz needed their hit tech toy, Makey Makey, to reach the shelves of national retailers. Target was interested in carrying this fun, quirky invention kit, which allows anyone to connect everyday objects to a computer keyboard and turn them into touch pads, but wanted to see a retail ready packaging option. In collaboration with Merge Design + Interactive, we designed a striking retail package that justifies its $60 price point while lowering overall costs of manufacturing.

Makey eCommerce

When Joylabz wanted a more compact box for shipping, but wanted to maintain an attractive, giftable Makey Makey kit, The Product Greenhouse delivered. In collaboration with Merge Design + Interactive we designed the packaging and graphics, elevated the quality of materials, and improved shipping methods- all while maintaining a low price.

Makey Go

Joylabz was inspired to take the experience of inventing out into the world. Joylabz was able to make that happen by creating a Makey Makey mobile device that allows imagination and engineering to happen anywhere. We were thrilled to collaborate with Joylabz, The Product Manufactory and Merge Design + Interactive through extensive engineering and prototyping. The Product Greenhouse manufactured their toy, complete with stunning packaging design and graphics, and on budget. It’s pretty awesome.
