Clip-n-Seal Design Contest

To encourage creative uses of their rod and clamp closure device, Clip-n-Seal is collaborating with ID Fuel on a design contest. Contest participants are encouraged to design a new product using the Clip-n-Seal in an interesting, unusual or thought-proving way.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) December 20, 2004 -- Clip-n-Seal is collaborating with IDFuel on a design contest. Clip-n-Seal is focusing on industrial applications and we are interested in what new closure concepts industrial designers can develop. Contest participants are encouraged to design a new product using the Clip-n-Seal in an interesting, unusual or thought-proving way.

"We're totally stoked to give designers everywhere a chance to work on a contest with some real-world elements," said Dominic Muren, Editor of IDFuel and Clip-n-Seal is a great platform for that challenge." Were very excited to see what new closure concepts industrial designers can develop," said DL Byron, Clip-n-Seal Founder and Inventor.

An example on a new closure concept is the Clip-n-Seal Shoe designed by the Inventables Concept Studio and included in the November Design Aid, a hands-on, subscription magazine distributed to Fortune 500 companies. The idea for the contest started with the DesignAid. Clip-n-Seal wanted to open up the creative opportunity to designers everywhere.
