As we’ve covered in recent blog posts – from getting ready for the International Home + Housewares Show in Chicago to the Global Pet Expo in Orlando – a lot of time and preparation has gone into ensuring that Inventionland-designed products, packaging and displays are completed by deadline and ready to be shipped and showcased in front of the masses at these events.

Just last week, the Global Pet Expo took place at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. From March 16^th-18^th, attendees gathered to see what’s new at the pet industry’s largest annual trade show.

Any show-goer who was browsing the new items at the Hugs Pet Products’ booth got a little glimpse of the work that comes out of Inventionland.

These little glimpses showcase our Inventionland Creationeers’ talents in a big way. From products to packaging to display creation, we played an integral role in the trade show process.

For the Global Pet Expo in particular, we helped our friends at Hugs Pet Products prep their brand new products, like the Massaging Groomers line – products that we designed, engineered, built and packaged right here at our invention factory.

Retailers and buyers showed much interest in many products, but particularly the Massaging Groomers line, calling the grooming brushes “innovative” – a great compliment to our Creationeers who aim for innovation everyday.

Our Creationeers also got down to business as they put the finishing touches on all of the assets that appeared at the Hugs Pet Products’ booth, too!

The excitement was definitely there as Hugs unveiled their latest and greatest RealTree products that’ll soon be available for purchase. These products will consist of pet treats, Cool Cots and cooling towels!

Trade show season has just begun and there’s more exciting product news to come!

There are always projects keeping designers, engineers, prototype builders and other busy bees buzzing at Inventionland. When various trade shows come around, like we mentioned in a recent blog post, things do really get kicked into high gear!

Today might be Leap Day, but it also kicks off what we may deem as International Home + Housewares Show-hype week! That’s right. The International Housewares Association (IHA) kicks off their largest housewares industry trade show this Saturday, March 5^th in Chicago and our friends at Jokari/US, Inc. and Love Cooking Company will be there showcasing all of their most innovative products – many of which were Inventionland-designed and packaged!

Designer Tess and Michael, Special Operations and photographer, were recently busy in the studio taking photos for Jokari product packaging.

Tess not only directed the shoot, but also stepped in to model the ease of use for the products as needed for a few in-use shots.

This wasn’t Tess’ first time in the spotlight. Here, you’ll see her demonstrating the Quick Cut, another product that’s headed to the housewares show.

Every unique Inventionland set within our 61,000 square-foot invention factory has been buzzing with excitement in preparation for the IHA Show. Industrial Designer Sarah took a moment to use the embroidery machine in Inventionland’s Crafty Cottage while Seamstress Bev kept busy at her sewing station.

Today, we mark International Home + Housewares week that begins on Saturday! Here’s to IHHS 2016!
