# Miniature Elastic Paper-Turning Aids Plus Designs the Mecreicco Catch to Flip Papers Over By Amy Duong | Published 2023-05-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercricco References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2023/05/16/tiny-japanese-elastic-aid-helps-you-turn-papers-easily-making-it-every-book-lovers-must-have/)  Plus designs the new Mecricco Catch, which can be attached to fingers to easily flip money or paper. There is also a shorter iteration that allows users to be able to type on a keyboard. These come in several colors so that they can match or even contrast nail colors at the time. The design of these paper-turning aids is simplistic yet practical as every single small part has a role. The regular-sized Mecricco Catch has perforated details throughout the design to allow for breathability if it is being used over long periods of time. Both versions are also designed with branding as they have an embossed "PLUS" along the front. Currently, it is only available in Japan.
