Those risky old box cutters, featuring dangerous razor blades, are finally being upgraded to a better way of slicing through packing tape, reinforced tape, plastic wrapping and a variety of other packaging materials.

Prioritizing user safety without compromising performance, The Box Claw’s patented design features a carefully engineered retractable bladeless claw mechanism that efficiently grabs and slices through packaging tape. It allows for a controlled and secure cutting experience, while considerably reducing the risk of accidental injuries to users or damage to merchandise that sometimes happens with bladed box openers.

Ideal for use by both the lay person at home and professionals in commercial settings, the Box Claw also includes a welcome added feature and layer of versatility with its El Marko chiseled tip marker.

The permanent black chiseled tipped marker – located on the opposite end from the bladeless claw – is quick drying and smudge resistant and can be used on nearly all surfaces including wood, plastic, metal, concrete, leather and vinyl. The cap features a tight seal for a long-life and a built-in pocket clip for easy access.

The partnership between Artaic and FilzFelt prioritizes sustainability, employing Artaic’s technology and mosaic manufacturing expertise to repurpose FilzFelt’s offcut felt. This leftover felt is reused to produce custom, artistic wallcoverings that effectively absorb sound.

To mark the Mosaik launch, FilzFelt introduces five designs by Boston-based designer Kelly Harris Smith. When creating these designs, Kelly found inspiration in both traditional textile patterns and the works of German textile artist Anni Albers. Her sound-absorbing collection features playful patterns that give a contemporary twist to the ancient art of mosaics. This marks Kelly Harris Smith’s fifth collaboration with FilzFelt.

The first helmet to be engineered with KOROYD technology as the sole energy absorber, the GH400 absorbs impacts more efficiently than traditional EPS foam liners by crumpling consistently to reduce force transferred to the head. KOROYD advanced impact technology outperforms EPS, absorbing energy through 80% of the material thickness.

The unique open cell structure of KOROYD, which is 95% air, also enhances air circulation and evaporation of sweat vapor and liquid. Recent testing has demonstrated KOROYD-integrated helmets can reduce heat index by up to 8°F/4.5°C compared to traditional EPS helmets. KOROYD is proven to help maintain cooler body temperatures to prevent heat stress risks, while also reducing potential for short-term removal on the jobsite that can occur on warmer days.
