LINES OF RUBBER ducks

We make ducks you don't want to drop in the water — you want to put them on a shelf. The small ones go in a pocket. The large ones go in a lobby. All of them go on camera.

chapter 02 · the making

How we make them

3.1

Material

Single-piece moulding of vulcanised rubber. Food-grade silicone for Micro and Classic; natural rubber with EPDM additives for Designer, Mega and Architect. No plastic inserts, no metal inside, no glued seams.

3.1

Eyes

Paint, not inserts. Black pupil and white sclera, applied post-vulcanisation by hand with food-grade silicone dye that resists UV and water. Decoration only when the design allows.

3.2

By line

Injection for Micro. Compression for Classic. Hand-casting for Designer, ≤ 300 units. Rotational moulding with internal fibreglass frame for Mega. Sculptural casting against a CNC-milled master for Architect.

3.3

QC

Five checks per duck: visual, geometry, drop, smell, gravimetry. Architect gets ultrasonic frame inspection and an on-site assembly photo protocol.

3.4

Compliance

EN 71-3, REACH, no phthalates, no bisphenol A. Age marking on every package. Operating range −20 °C … +60 °C. Indoor only — UV degrades pigment after two years.

3.6

Packaging

Recycled cardboard for Micro, paper-pulp inserts for Classic, embossed card with paper certificate for Designer, double-wall corrugated for Mega, wooden crate with climate control for Architect.

chapter 03 · for brands

Custom colour from a 12-pigment menu

Segment D — brand managers, event producers, hotels, retail. Pick from the Quacktory Pigment Menu: 12 branded Pantone-equivalents, body-through pigment, tinted before moulding. Not paint on top. Predictable lead time, predictable price.

  • 3 wksMicro / Classic — small runs, fast
  • 6 wksDesigner — sign-off with the collab author
  • 6 wksMega — pallet delivery, courier visit
  • 12 wksArchitect — on-site survey + installation

A third-party Pantone is a new formula development: +2 weeks, +15% to the price. Custom geometry — a brand mascot, a new duck — is a separate project with a master model.
