Use case
Custom museum and gift-shop magnets with retail-ready planning
Museum stores, galleries, heritage sites and gift shops need more than a decorative front. A viable project also covers asset rights, accurate reproduction, backing-card narrative, barcode, display format and an orderly approval record.
Turn collection assets into merchandise
Start with authorized, high-resolution assets and a clear interpretation goal. Decide whether relief, enamel, printing or another confirmed route best represents the work or object at product scale. Record any crop, color or simplification approval.
Authorized assets
Start with authorized, high-resolution assets and a clear interpretation goal before any production route is chosen.
Interpretation at product scale
Decide whether relief, enamel, printing or another confirmed route best represents the work or object at product scale.
Recorded approvals
Record any crop, color or simplification approval so the approved interpretation is the one that enters production.
Prepare shelf-ready packaging
Define backing-card size, story copy, institutional marks, barcode, price-label area, warnings and language. Confirm how the magnet is secured to the card and how the pack will be protected in cartons. For the full card, barcode and carton-assortment specification, see Plan retail packaging.

Control approvals and reorders
Use stable SKUs, dated artwork, approved proofs or samples and a packaging version log. A case study should only be published with institutional permission and should show the decision process rather than inventing sales results.
Stable SKU record
Use stable SKUs, dated artwork, approved proofs or samples and a packaging version log so reorders recover the right version.
Dated approvals
Keep dated artwork, approved proofs or samples and a packaging version log so each reorder is tied to a confirmed reference.
Permission before publication
A case study should only be published with institutional permission and should show the decision process rather than inventing sales results.
