Customization Options
The current canary can be redesigned as another bird, animal, cartoon figure or dancing character. A suitable moving element should be light, easy to connect and separated from the surrounding paper artwork. If the chosen character has very thin legs, a large body or an irregular shape, its structure may need to be adjusted before sampling.LOGO options include a company name, product reference, website or distributor information on the card back, envelope or retail packaging.CONTENT includes the birthday message, language, inside wording, audio file and playback time. Buyers may provide music, a voice recording or another sound they are authorized to use.DESIGN covers the character, party illustrations, colors, card shape, dimensional layers and selected moving area. The existing birthday setting may also be replaced with another occasion or theme.Artwork can be supplied in AI or print-ready PDF format.
Music and Activation Choices
Music and movement can begin as soon as the recipient opens the card. This option gives the strongest surprise effect because no additional action is needed. A press button can also be fitted when the buyer prefers the recipient to control when the performance starts.
The audio may be a birthday melody, spoken message, sound effect or customized recording. Playback time and volume should be provided with the initial request so that the appropriate sound module can be selected. If the audio file is longer, the required memory and power arrangement may change.LED lights can be added to selected areas such as the stars, cake or birthday lettering when the card has sufficient internal space.
Sample Review
The sample stage is used to judge the actual movement, not only the printed appearance. It shows whether the canary has enough room to shake, whether the motor remains hidden and whether the card stands steadily when opened.Audio volume, activation and playback are tested at the same time. If the character moves too widely or touches another paper layer, its connection point or surrounding artwork can be adjusted before the design moves into production.
For bulk orders, the moving character, music playback and activation are checked during assembly. The approved sample provides the standard for the printed colors, paper structure and finished animation.
FAQ

3. Can we supply a recorded birthday message?
Yes. Music, speech or sound effects can be used. Please provide the audio file and required playback time.
