Waterproof Gum Carriers

The 'Chewmate' is a Clip-On Gum Container to Ensures Gum Stays Fresh

— February 2, 2016 — Art & Design
'Chewmate' is a tube-like gum carrier created by product designer Patrick Marini. This "universal chewing gum holder" is designed to keep gum fresh for a longer period of time.

Additional features include the carrier's convenient handheld size, its clip-on keychain and its water-resistant packaging. Using blasted and anodized aluminum for the the exterior ensures that carrier's gum contents never get wet, which is often a problem with paper and cardboard packages. The screw top seals in freshness while remaining weather-resistant and durable.

While the Chewmate is designed to hold up to 12 pieces of gum, it can also be used for candies, mints and even medication. The smooth aluminum tube fits neatly into purses, pockets and can easily clasp onto belts, keychains or backpacks so users are never far from fresh breath.
