Three Inventionland-designed products — Meatball Baker, Party on the Go and Perfect Slice were featured in the Winter 2009 edition of “Innovation,” the quarterly design publication of the Industrial Designers Society of America. The products, two of which we developed for clients, were displayed on a full-page spread — right up there with G.E., Bunn, Bosch, Oreck and Pyrex!

2014 starts off with an incredible bang! We are happy to announce that during this, our 25th year in the invention industry, 1,200 stores and online retailers have carried Inventionland-designed products and packaging solutions! Walmart was first on that list, but we’ve since added many other big-name retailers, along with niche stores and online outlets.

Just weeks after one Inventionland-designed baking product sells out on QVC, we receive word that the Half N Half Cupcake Pan is slated to appear on the world’s leading video and ecommerce retailer as well!

Now, the innovative pan that gives bakers a Better Way to easily combine two of their favorite cupcake or muffin flavors into one great taste is showcased on QVC’s “Kitchen Unlimited with Carolyn” as a “fun twist on an old favorite.”
