It's Good Being King
The king of school boxes. SpaceMaker® brought excitement to storing school supplies and to the industry.
It is a product that kids know by sight and by name. The distinctive shiny bumps on the lid, surrounded by a textured field, the different colored lid and bases.
What looked like a simple plastic box was actually intense engineering and manufacturing quality requirements... ensuring that the right polypropylene resin was used, that the lid and base matched up evenly and smoothly, the tongue and groove latch, and even the amount of pressure needed to close and latch... creating the SpaceMaker® "SNAP." So distinct, the bumps and contrasting polished and textured areas, SpaceMaker® became the most copied and mimicked school box ever.
The
box was "stretched" to create a longer version that could hold a
12" ruler.
While
the Box and the Stretch dominated the middle and older end of the
spectrum, the Case covered the younger end. The handled box was easier
for the youngest kids to carry.
As
the need for larger supply boxes started to emerge, the Big Box came
to life.
The
Pencil Pocket™ went after the zipper pouch market by
offering a binder version, with a hole configuration that would
fit into any domestic or international ring binder, as well as
a backpack version without the holes. In
order to further grow the demographic target, this new "box" was
introduced to keep kids carrying their SpaceMakers® into middle,
junior-high, high school, and hopefully into college.
