Slide Charts and Sliding Calculators for Business

Slide charts are used as a convenient and interactive way to pass on information from a supplier to a customer. We have made countless examples. In many instances the information will be of a technical nature. To give an easy example: a slide chart that matches car models to tyre pressures for might be produced for a tyre manufacturer to pass to a tyre dealership. Another typical slide chart would be to calculate mortgage repayments or maybe to forecast pension payments. These types of sliding calculators tend to be fairly business-like affairs without much scope for flair in their design. They are usually 1/3 A4 in size and consist of a sliding card held within a sleeve that has windows on one face. If you feel that you cannot get all of your info onto a slide chart they can be made into a 4-page product or you might want to look at making a wheel chart.

Branded Slide Charts with a little more fun

These things don’t have to be dull though certain clients have a little more freedom when it comes to designing their slide charts. Let’s say that a slide chart had been commissioned by a brand of low-fat chocolate aimed at a weight-loss audience. The calculator could show how much fat and calories were contained in rival bars but the sleeve design could be very much in the style of fashion magazines. To emphasize a slogan – let’s say it was “A bite on the light side” – a die-cut “bite” could be missing from one corner of the sliding calculator giving the product a much higher value as a branding and marketing tool.

Lever Calculator - Slide Rule Marketing Ideas

The Lever Calculator, Slide Rule or Slide Chart – whatever you wish to call it this promotional information chart product is popular with banks, building societies and insurance companies and is operated by moving the lever which is held in place by a metal eyelet.  The calculated information is viewed through die-cut apertures and makes this product attractive and easy to use.

Interactive Marketing Product Slide Chart

Used as a marketing product for the marketing of financial products the Slide Charts engages a lot of interaction to reveal the message and results which means that your customers’ full attention is gained easily and in a novel way. The Slide Rules are a cross between a wheel chart and a sliding calculator; the lever is held inside the sleeve with an eyelet and moves up and down through approximately 40 degrees.
