We’ve been shipping product all week (and last) to biomedical companies. The uses include bio-artificial hearts, dialysis, in the lab, and more.

Schooner Exact, a new local microbrewery, emails to say they’re using Clip-n-Seals in the brewing process. The uses for Clip-n-Seals just keep getting better and better! See the Seattle PI for a historical note on the Schooner Exact.

Enterprising mothers have written to thanks us for keeping their breast milk fresh. You got it!

Dunstan Orchard just bought some Clip-n-Seals and asked me what size to get. I told him that I normally use the mediums for cereal, small chip bags, and other snacks. With the mediums, you can always fold in the corners of larger bag and it’ll seal. We mostly use the larger ones in the freezer for carrots and peas and for large chip bags like Tostitos from Costco.

As Dunstan figured out, Clip-n-Seals are extruded and cut to size. We do offer different diameters in the Skinny-Mini and a new Tweener that we’ll have available later this year.

Uncrate, one of my favorite sites to find bad-ass stuff that I really want (and generally can’t afford) has recently noted how our little seals actually keep food fresh. Which they do.

Each Clip-n-Seal item now has it’s own UPC code. We’ve added them for Amazon.com and future retail. I guess I could also tattoo myself with the one for the 891639001014 variety pack or all of them. When signing up for the barcodes, I felt a bit like that old clip from Bush 1, who didn’t know what a UPC was or how it worked. For more, see the Wikipedia entry and How Stuff Works.
