A smart packaging film that's stable for the shelf life of the product but pulls the self destruct trigger as soon as the pack is opened.
That's great and thanks a million for supporting my idea! All the best , Alan
Hi Robert,
Apologies for the delayed response but have been busy prototyping and I'll be posting some content soon - although photos of children are more difficult to get since the parents need to approve their use on the internet!
Yes I think detentes are a great idea as is making a body which will give something more to hold on to. Mixing the expressions up is interesting - for instance scowling eyes with a smile looks mischievous!!
Thanks for you support,
Alan
