How a
duck
is made.

Act II

A single piece of vulcanised rubber. No plastic inserts, no metal inside, no glued seams. The eyes are pigment, not stickers — hand-painted after the mould closes.

Each line has its own moulding cycle, its own tooling, its own time. The smaller the duck, the faster the press.

Micro Injection · steel mould · 8 cavities ~45 s / cycle
Classic Compression · aluminium mould ~3 min / cycle
Designer Hand-cast in silicone rubber mould 1 cycle / day
Mega Rotational · steel split mould ~2 h + 8 h cooling
Architect Sculptural cast over CNC master 2–4 weeks
  • Visual inspection
  • Geometry ± 2 %
  • 5 drops · 1 m
  • Smell test
  • Mass within ± 3 %
  • EN 71-3 · REACH

Act III

Custom means picking from the Quacktory Pigment Menu — twelve branded Pantone-equivalents, tinted into the rubber before moulding. Not paint on top. Body-through pigment.

A third-party Pantone is a separate line in the quote: +2 weeks, +15 %. A new shape is a separate project, with its own master model.

Lead times — Micro / Classic: 3 w · Designer / Mega: 6 w · Architect: 12 w.
