Beyond Scissors

Jessie Atkin posted a new blog up on Digital Landing about a new product designed to open the plastic packaging we all fight with, without the fight.

We, the gadget obsessed, are no strangers to the hassle that is package opening. I’m not talking about wrapping paper and cardboard boxes, I’m speaking of the evil that is air tight plastic packaging with razor sharp edges and the reputation for back breaking hassle.

Supposedly we now have a solution. Open It (conveniently named) is a new product by Zibra, that claims to easily open all packaging from toys to battery compartments. It looks like a cross between garden clippers and a can opener.

The “Open It” boasts clippers, an exacto knife, and a screw driver. What else could you possibly need when opening a package? Other than Band-Aids? The Open It claims to remove the need for first aid anyway. For $10 I for one am willing to give it a try.
