emg3, a full service event marketing agency, contacted Craftsmen Industries with a project for their client, Aquafresh.  emg3 designed a six-station brushing trailer ideal for traveling to various events and encouraging visitors to try Aquafresh toothpaste. 

 

Craftsmen custom-built exterior sink stations into the 20-foot bumper pull trailer.  Each custom brushing station consisted of a modern vessel-style sink, paper towel dispenser, side-chute trash can and custom bathroom fixtures.  The brushing stations were separated by concession doors used as privacy dividers. 

The trailer was equipped with a fully operable plumbing system that allows an average of 500 brushes a day and plenty of fresh water to endure several days at an event. The water faucets at each station are controlled by timers programmed to automatically shut off after 5 seconds, allowing the water usage to be monitored. 

Craftsmen printed and applied custom graphics to both the exterior and interior of the trailer and on a 20-foot by 3-foot rooftop double-sided envelope banner.  

 

The rear of the trailer, known as the “Gesturetek area,” houses an interactive 50-inch mounted plasma screen.  This area is designed for tour visitors to approach the plasma screen with a two-foot toothbrush and brush the teeth projected on the plasma screen.  The brushing motion of the toothbrush is detected by a camera positioned above the screen and as a result bubbles appear on the screen. The faster you brush, the more bubbles appear on the screen.  Lexan® was applied to the surface of the plasma screen to withstand the scratching of the toothbrush bristles. 

 

Aquafresh began the tour at their first stop in Washington DC for a BBQ contest, which is an ideal spot for a tooth brushing trailer!
