One-Finger Package Openers

The Version 22 'Nimble' Cutter Makes Quick Work of Packaging and More

— December 19, 2018 — Art & Design
The prevalence of online shopping is seeing many consumers receive an increased number of packages and the subsequent need for a way to easily open them, which the Version 22 'Nimble' cutter aims to provide.

Fitting seamlessly over your index finger, the thimble-like cutter features an ultra-small blade that is just big enough to slice through packaging but too small to cut skin. This makes it a safe solution for younger users or the elderly who might have trouble opening packages and need a better way to live their everyday lifestyle that is likely surrounded by packaging.

The Version 22 'Nimble' cutter can also be used for small craft projects by quickly cutting through paper or other artistic materials to make it a must-have for any craft room.
