Production Technology: The components of this product include plastic enclosure, metal spring, and metal clips.
The enclosure is made of Abs plastic injection molding and the pattern is made of screen printing at low cost.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge is the ergonomic design of the product. Because the product is a handheld tool, the appropriate size and shape curve are required to optimize the use experience.
Research: Investigate the needs and preferences of student user groups to determine the function, shape, and color of the product.
Inspiration: Students have a great need for document organization, while there is no traceless stapler on the market that is specifically designed for and loved by students. By conducting user research such as interviews and questionnaires on campus, we identified cartoon images such as bears, monsters and piglets as the main design elements. We hope the design can increase the fun of using stationery and improve users’ learning or office efficiency.
Project Duration: The project runs from March 2022 to February 2023 in Ningbo, China
