DECATUR, Ga.-The Baby Buddy brand of Compac Industries has introduced the Bottle Buddy, an electric dispenser of babies’ formula.

The Bottle Buddy counts a preset amount of powdered infant formula into a baby’s bottle. It’s designed to hold a 32-ounce tin of formula powder in its transparent container, which remains sealed, thus keeping the formula sterile at all times and eliminating any possible contamination, according to a Baby Buddy statement. In addition, the product’s interchangeable formula measure insert guarantees the formula powder-to-water ratio as one scoop per fluid ounce of water, regardless of the type of formula used.

The user places a bottle containing the required amount of water on the Bottle Buddy’s bottle tray, presses a button and the predetermined number of scoops are dispensed into the bottle. The product is made with 100 percent BPA-free plastic and features a clear LCD display.

The Bear Pacifier Holder is an inexpensive and reliable solution to the problem of a constantly dropped or lost pacifier. The short strap with adorable three-dimensional bear figurine easily clips to your child’s clothing, stroller or diaper bag, so the attached pacifier will not drop to the ground and will always be within easy reach whenever its needed.

With an adaptable design, the Bear Pacifier Holder can be used with almost any pacifier brand. You can also attach small toys or other soft objects in place of a pacifier.

Part of the essential Baby Buddy line of products, the Bear Pacifier Holder is available in your choice of a dozen colors to coordinate with your child’s outfits, car seat or stroller.

The Bear Pacifier Holder Clip Is Stronger and Easier To Use Than Other Pacifier Holders

The Bear Pacifier Holder attaches to your child’s clothing, stroller or any other item you choose with a single, sturdy metal clip that you can handle with one hand, leaving your other hand to hold your child.

Unlike some other pacifier holders with pins, the clip used on the Bear Pacifier Holder will not leave holes in your child’s clothing and only takes one hand to attach.  And unlike the sliding-lock style of fastener used with some other pacifier holders, the Bear Pacifier Holder only needs a small amount of clothing, stroller fabric, or car seat strap to clip to for a secure hold.

Perhaps most importantly, the “super grip” clip used on the Bear Pacifier Holder attaches securely, so that your child won’t be able to pull it off. 

The metal snap that creates a loop to hold the pacifier is also strong, keeping the pacifier securely connected to the Bear Pacifier Holder. The MAM and other pacifier holders are not as secure, allowing pacifiers to occasionally drop.

Keep the Pacifier Clean and Enjoy the Convenience of the Bear Pacifier Holder

The most important purpose of the Bear Pacifier Holder is to keep  your child’s pacifier off the ground, avoiding dirt, grime and  germs that can cling to a dropped pacifier. At the same time, you’ll eliminate the hassle of retrieving and cleaning a pacifier that has dropped to the ground or dirty seat, and avoid the inconvenience and cost of replacing lost pacifiers.

For comfort and safety, the clip on the Bear Pacifier Holder is flat with no sharp points, so it can’t dig into your child’s chest or bother your baby in any way.  With no pins, there’s no chance to poke or prick your baby’s skin. And when your baby is squirming or wriggling, you can continue to hold him or her with one hand even while securing the pacifier and Bear Pacifier Holder with the other hand.

As an added measure of safety for your child, the Bear Pacifier Holder is BPA-free and lead-free.  Plus, the Bear Pacifier Holder is easy to keep clean by hand-washing in warm water with mild soap.

Up the “Cute” Factor with the Adorable Bear Pacifier Holder

The smiling bear figurine on the Bear Pacifier Holder is absolutely adorable, for both boys and girls. With ribbon and color accents in your choice of twelve fashionable colors—pink, blue, light pink, light blue, lilac, mint, navy, red, sage, white, yellow, and seasonal Christmas colors—you can coordinate a pacifier holder with each of your child’s outfits and accessories.

With the assortment of child-favored colors, smart parents keep plenty of Bear Pacifier Holders ready to use at home and on the go.

Make lunch healthy, economical and fun with a salad packed to go. The original Salad Blaster lets you prepare the perfect salad at home and then enjoy it—fresh, crisp and delicious—for lunch on the go,  or any time you need a light meal to go.

Portable and Convenient Salad Bowl

The Salad Blaster offers the convenience of taking your salad greens and dressing in a single leak-proof container to the office, to school, on the road, or any time you’re on the go. The portable, non-breakable Salad Blaster is available in the original-sized 26-oz Salad Blaster Cup  or Salad Blaster Bowl, or the new larger-sized 40-oz Chef Salad Blaster Bowl, so you can pack a perfect-sized salad to match your appetite.

Keep Lunchbox Salads Crisp

No more soggy salad! The secret to Salad Blaster success is the separate dressing reservoir in the specially-designed Salad Blaster lid.  With the push of a button, you “blast” your salad with dressing when you’re ready to eat; then shake to mix, and enjoy a freshly-tossed and dressed salad with no mess. The leak-proof seal assures you that the dressing stays in the Salad Blaster, and not on your desk or clothing.

Enjoy Lunch, Spend Less

You’ll enjoy Salad Blaster salads more than restaurant salads, because you can mix all of your favorite salad ingredients and dressing in the proportions that you like best.

And you’ll save money, too, by packing your lunch at home rather than pay for a restaurant meal.

Eat Healthy, Control Calories

By using the Salad Blaster, you’ll find it easier to eat healthier foods and control calories when you’re on the go.  Consider these healthful advantages:

• By packing a salad using greens, dressing and other ingredients that you truly enjoy, you’ll be more satisfied with your to-go meal and less likely to opt for restaurant take-out instead.
• With a pre-measured amount of dressing, you won’t be tempted to over-indulge on the high-fat dressings offered at take-out restaurants.
• Because you pack each ingredient, you can be assured of the freshness, cleanliness and quality of the salad that you eat.
• For added health advantage, the Salad Blaster is constructed of PBA-free material.

Lunch-On-The-Go Variety

For better nutrition, lower budget and ultimate convenience, you can’t beat the Salad Blaster for a lunch on the go. Try a different salad every day of the week, packed to go in the original 26-oz Salad Blaster Cup,  26-oz Salad Blaster Bowl or the new larger-sized 40-oz Chef Salad Blaster Bowl. All come in a variety of colors, with a transparent bowl for viewing your salad mix. Top-rack dishwasher safe and PBA-free.

For added variety, try the Take A Dip bowl, which lets you pack snacks and dip in a single, portable container. 

Salad Blaster, Salad Blaster Bowl, and Take A Dip are available from Compac Industries, Inc.

Love your Link-A-Doos ™ links?  For linking toys, pacifiers and other infant and toddler necessities to strollers, high chairs, swings and car seats, the ultra-functional Secure-A-Toy straps are better than rigid plastic links.

Use versatile Secure-A-Toy straps to keep your child’s belongings within arm’s reach of your child and away from the dirt, grime and germs that cling to a fallen toy or pacifier. Part of the essential Baby Buddy line of products and available in economical two-packs, colorful Secure-A-Toy  straps keep your child’s belongings safely and securely with your child, never to be tossed to the ground or lost again.

Secure-A-Toy Straps Are Flexible, Adjustable and Oh-So-Easy to Use

Because Secure-A-Toy straps can attach to almost any-shaped  toy, pacifier or other object that has a loop, handle or cinching area,  Secure-A-Toy straps are more versatile than rigid loops like Link-A-Doos links.

And Secure-A-Toy straps are oh-so-easy to use. Simply wrap, then snap one end of the Secure-A-Toy strap around whatever keeps falling or getting thrown to the ground; then wrap-and-snap the other end to your child’s high chair, car seat, swing or crib—even to another toy— to keep the object secured.

The hefty padded armrest on your car seat? No problem for Secure-A-Toy straps. Simply snap two Secure-A-Toy straps together to create the length needed to wrap-and-snap around bulkier objects, and you have solved the problem. Or use one versatile Secure-A-Toy strap to create a loop around that bulky armrest, for example, and then wrap-and-snap your child’s toys and pacifier to the Secure-A-Toy loop as usual.

And because Secure-A-Toy straps are so easy to use, you can quickly swap toys to keep your child’s interest.

More Reliable Tether than Link-A-Doos Links

Your child may quickly master the trick to separating Link-A-Doos links, thus freeing those links—and anything attached to them—to be tossed hither and yon (and you scrambling after, then washing and rewashing, the fallen objects).

Not so with Secure-A-Toy straps. The strong snap fasteners on Secure-A-Toy straps stay secure, and it typically takes years for your child to develop the strength and skills to unsnap them.

Secure-A-Toy Straps Are BPA-Free and Safe For Children

Inevitably, anything is your child’s hand will end up in your child’s mouth.  Protective parents are leery of any products containing BPA plastic, as Link-A-Doos links have been reported to contain, or lead.

Completely safe for infants and children, Secure-A-Toy straps are BPA-free and lead-free.   

For Infants to Toddlers, Moms Love Secure-A-Toy Straps

Moms everywhere love Secure-A-Toy straps because they are safe, versatile, lightweight, inexpensive, and save mountains of time for Moms who otherwise constantly chase, retrieve and wash fallen objects.  Save money, too, by not having to replace lost objects.

The versatility and long use make Secure-A-Toy straps indispensible, even if you have Link-A-Doos links.

With two to a pack in an assortment of child-favored colors, smart parents keep plenty of Secure-A-Toy straps ready to use on their child’s car seat, stroller, high chair, swing, and wherever their child travels.

Bottle Buddy is the latest “must-have” for new parents. Ultimately practical, the Bottle Buddy infant formula dispenser helps parents and caregivers to prepare the perfect formula bottle quickly and easily, whenever a bottle feeding is needed.

With just the touch of a button, the Bottle Buddy Electronic Formula Dispenser will automatically dispense a pre-set amount of powdered formula or follow-on formula directly into the baby’s bottle. Part of the essential Baby Buddy line of products, the Bottle Buddy simplifies feeding time and gives you confidence that every bottle you prepare is precisely measured for your baby.

The Ideal Infant Formula Dispenser for Busy Moms

Are you a busy Mom? The Bottle Buddy saves time and simplifies your life. After you’ve set up the Bottle Buddy to match the scoop size of your formula brand,  then the formula is measured and dispensed any time you need it with the touch of a button. No more fumbling for a scoop. No more spills and cleaning. No more counting, and recounting, scoops. Maybe best of all, no more worrying about the formula mix when someone else makes the bottle.

Dads love the Bottle Buddy, too, because they can easily make their baby’s bottle on their own, without worry of overfeeding or underfeeding, and without the mess. The Bottle Buddy automatically dispenses the pre-measured amount of formula directly into the baby’s bottle, so there are no directions to read, no measuring scoops to find, no spilling, and no wasted time.

Grandparents, older siblings, babysitters…with the Bottle Buddy, everyone can easily prepare the baby’s bottle to the precise formula mix, without error.

Save Time Preparing Your Infant’s Bottle Feedings

Parents will put an average of 10,000 scoops of infant or follow-on formula into bottles in the first year of their baby’s life. The Bottle Buddy eliminates the entire scooping process, saving considerable time.

And more importantly, the Bottle Buddy eliminates the repeated potential for error that exists when hand-measuring infant formula, making use of the Bottle Buddy healthier and safer for your baby.

Trust the Bottle Buddy to Accurately Dispense Infant Formula

With the touch of a button, the Bottle Buddy consistently dispenses accurately-measured formula into your baby’s bottle. It eliminates the fumbling, the spilling, and the miscounting of scoops that can easily occur—especially when you have a baby in your arms or suffer from a lack of sleep.

For absolute assurance, the Bottle Buddy has been tested for its accuracy by the National Weights and Measures Laboratory.

Compatible with All Leading Formula Brands

To accommodate different scoop sizes among formula brands, simply choose the correct-sized Bottle Buddy dispenser insert that matches the scoop measurement of your brand of formula.

Because it has a selection of dispenser inserts to match different scoop measurements, the Bottle Buddy is compatible with all leading brands of formula. And you can use it throughout the bottle-feeding years—even as your baby grows and formulas change.

Simple-to-Use Hygienic System for Dispensing Infant Formula

The Bottle Buddy unit is compact, easy to fill, easy to clean, and easy to use. A single LCD display provides information about its operation, and the transparent reservoir allows you to easily view the level of formula remaining in the unit at any time.

Using the Bottle Buddy infant formula dispenser is completely safe for your child. Once the formula is added to the formula reservoir, the reservoir remains sealed, keeping the formula sterile. Whenever desired, the formula reservoir may be easily removed for cleaning, either in the dishwasher or usual sterilization methods.

For added health considerations, the Bottle Buddy is made from BPA-free and lead-free materials.

Make Life With Your Newborn Easier

When a newborn causes your life to become more hectic, the Bottle Buddy Electronic infant formula dispenser can make life easier.

Keep sinks smelling fresh and looking pretty with Sink Daisy scented sink strainers. Available in a variety of colors and scents, Sink Daisy strainers will freshen and brighten sinks in your kitchen, laundry, and anywhere you have a sink with a traditional sink strainer.

Enjoy a lemon-fresh sink all through the day with the traditional lemon-yellow Sink Daisy, or enjoy a variety of other different  Sink Daisy fragrances and colors while freshening and protecting your sink areas. Popular fragrances and colors include strawberry (white), pine tree (green), and lavender (pale purple) in addition to the original lemon (yellow).

Sink Strainer with Mild Fragrance Is Convenient and Easy To Use

Sink Daisy scented sink strainers keep utensils, dishrags and other large objects from jamming your disposal or clogging your drain. The cute daisy design will keep these large objects out of your disposal, yet will easily allow small bits of food to flow into the disposal area or down the drain.

Most small food particles will rinse easily from the Sink Daisy and into your disposal, but when needed,  you can easily lift the Sink Daisy from the sink for rinsing. There is no twisting or turning to operate the Sink Daisy; simply select the color and fragrance that you prefer, and place the Sink Daisy in the drain area of your sink. 

Each time you empty and rinse a Sink Daisy strainer, you’ll enjoy its fresh and clean fragrance.

Protect Your Garbage Disposal with Sink Daisy Strainers

Nothing jams a garbage disposal faster than a utensil that has slipped into it. Keep those utensils in the sink, and away from your garbage disposal unit, with a Sink Daisy scented sink strainer.

The cute and fragrant Sink Daisy strainer really works to protect your garbage disposal—and save you from buying replacement utensils. Constructed of rigid plastic, the Sink Daisy strainer effectively keeps utensils, dishrags, large bones, and other food products not intended for the garbage disposal, such as such as corn husks and egg shells, from slipping into the disposal unit.

With a Sink Daisy strainer in your disposal sink, you can be sure when you turn on the disposal that it won’t grind to a halt because of a utensil or overload of large food objects.

Avoid Unwanted Water Backup In Your Sink

Because the Sink Daisy strainer doesn’t function as a sink stopper, it can help to avoid unwanted water backup in your sink.

Somehow, with a traditional sink combination strainer/stopper, the stopper always seems to engage when you don’t want it to, resulting in a backup of water and food waste in your sink. The Sink Daisy strainer eliminates this smelly mess, because it doesn’t function as a stopper.  

When you replace your strainer/stopper with the Sink Daisy strainer, you eliminate the unpleasant task of plunging your hand into a smelly sink full of water and food waste when your sink stopper has stopped up your sink. Instead, enjoy a fresh sink at all times.

Replace Old and Worn-Out Disposal Splash Guards

If the rubber tabs on your disposal splash guard have been torn or any are missing, you can substitute a Sink Daisy strainer to keep water and slurry in the disposal unit when the disposal is turned on. The Sink Daisy scented sink strainer is an extremely economical replacement for a frayed or missing disposal splash guard.

Even if your disposal splash guard is functioning, you’ll find that the Sink Daisy strainer works better than the disposal splash guard to keep unwanted objects from getting into the disposal.

Keep a Fresh Sink with Lemon-Scent and Other Variety of “Sink Daisy” Strainer Fragrances

You’ll find Sink Daisy scented sink strainers in a variety of fresh fragrances and colors, including strawberry (white), apple cinnamon (red), green apple (white), lemon (yellow), mandarin orange (pale orange), pine tree (green) and lavender (pale purple).  Look for special promotion packs and seasonal items, such as the popular holiday two-pack of apple cinnamon and pine tree scented Sink Daisy strainers.

For added freshening of your garbage disposal and sink area, try Plink, an effective and easy-to-use garbage disposal cleaner and deodorizer.

Sink Daisy and Plink are available from Compac Industries, Inc.

As a receptacle for food waste, it should come as no surprise that garbage disposal units can become smelly. Food bits can stick to disposal walls, in crevices and on the blades; as food sits in the disposal unit, it can rot and eventually will stink.

If you have an odor problem coming from  your garbage disposal, you can deodorize it with Plink. Plink is an easy-to-use blend of powerful cleaning and deodorizing agents, all neatly contained in a unique disposal-friendly capsule that’s specially designed to clean and freshen the interior of your garbage disposal. 

Plink disposal cleaning capsules are available in three pleasant scents of lemon, orange or lavender.  Each fragrant Plink capsule packs a cleaning punch when used as directed to clean the interior walls and blades of your garbage disposal.

Regular Use of Plink Keep Disposals Running Quietly and Cleanly

Face it, no one enjoys putting their hand into a disposal unit to feel for whatever might be lurking there. Regular use of Plink gives you confidence that food particles, grime and bacteria are destroyed and washed down the disposal drain as intended. Best of all, a clean disposal will not produce the smelly odors that escape from an unsanitary disposal unit and make your sink stink.

Invented by a plumber to work in seconds, the powerful cleaning agents and deodorants packed in a sturdy Plink capsule work in tandem to loosen particles and grime on the walls, crevices and blades of your garbage disposal.  With Plink, you may find that your garbage disposal operates more quietly because it can work more efficiently, without resistance or grinding of dried and stuck-on food particles.

It’s best to “Plink your sink” twice a week to keep your disposal clean and kitchen sink area smelling its best. Many Plink users love to use pleasant-smelling Plink just prior to entertaining guests, for the extra assurance Plink provides that the kitchen smells as clean as it looks.

Plink Garbage Disposal Cleaner and Deodorizer Is Convenient and Easy To Use

No garbage disposal cleaner is easier to use than Plink. Simply drop one scented Plink capsule into your disposal according to package directions to distribute and activate the potent cleaning and deodorizing ingredients. There’s no messy mixing and no expensive or time-consuming plumbing required.

It takes less than a minute to Plink your sink.  Within seconds of dropping a Plink capsule in your garage disposal, the disposal is cleaned and you receive a blast of deodorizer that keeps unpleasant disposal odors in check and freshens  your entire kitchen. With two applications recommended per week, it’s quick and easy to maintain optimum garbage disposal cleaning with Plink.

Keep Your Disposal Fresh with Citrus and Lavender-Scent Plink Cleaner and Deodorizer Capsules

After each Plink application, you ‘ll enjoy the fresh scent of lemon, orange or lavender, assured that the grease, grime and food particles lingering in your garbage disposal have been broken down and washed away. Regular Plink packages contain 10 individual Plink capsules, so each package should last a month or more.  More economical combo-packs of Plink are also available.

To help keep your garbage disposal functioning at its best and smelling fresh between Plink applications, also try the Sink Daisy scented sink strainer. The Sink Daisy strainer can help to keep your disposal from becoming overloaded with large food waste items, and keep utensils and other unwanted items from entering the disposal unit.

Plink and Sink Daisy are available from Compac Industries, Inc.

As a busy new parent, the constant search for fresh and clean clothes, in a size that fits, can be chaotic.  But you’ll be able to find your kids’ clothes faster and easier, and eliminate the chaos, by organizing your kids closets using Baby Buddy “Size-It” Closet Organizers.

Baby Buddy “Size-It” Closet Organizers are easy-to-use size dividers for the hanging rod of your child’s closet. The size dividers make it easy to keep the clothes in your kids closets organized by size, from infant  through childhood.

Baby Buddy “Size-It” Closet Organizers are available in five colors, so you can choose a color that suits you and your child. Choose from light blue, light pink, royal blue, sage green, and yellow. If two children share a closet, then two sets of “Size-It” Closet Organizers in different colors can be especially useful for keeping each child’s clothing separate and organized.

Get Organized and Stay Organized

The key to being organized is in putting items away where they belong. When any clothing item has a specific place to be put way, then you’re on your way to being organized. With Baby Buddy “Size-It” Closet Organizers, even Daddy can easily put clean clothes away in the correct spot; all he has to do is look at the label on the clothing and then hang clothing in the matching section of the closet.

With each package of Baby Buddy “Size-It” Closet Organizers, you get five separate size dividers that hang easily on standard closet rods or wire shelving. The size dividers come with an assortment of size decals so that each size divider can be labeled with your child’s current size and a few future sizes.

The size dividers make it easy to hang your child’s clean clothes where they belong, and you can be sure to have clean clothing available in the size that you need.

As your child grows, it’s easy to select clothes that your child has outgrown to be stored or given away. Removing clothes that your child has outgrown is another way to stay organized.

At-A-Glance Clothing Selection for What Fits

Using Baby Buddy “Size-It” Closet Organizers,  each piece of clothing is hanging according to size. The shape, color and bold print on each “Size-It” size divider makes it easy to identify each size in the closet, so it’s fast and easy to grab a clean and fresh outfit when you need it.

As a parent of young and growing children, you may be given some—or even what seems like a ton—of clothes for your child. The “Size-It” size dividers help you to organize all those outfits by size, so you’re sure to put all the clothing in each size to good use.  And when selecting an outfit from the proper-sized collection, you can be sure your child doesn’t outgrow a certain-sized outfit before you remember you have it.

Keep Up With Clothing Selection By Size As Your Child Ages

Your child will never outgrow the “Size-It” Closer Organizer size dividers, because as your child grows, you can easily replace a too-small size decal with the next future size.

If you’re a new parent, you might begin with sizes from newborn to 12 months. As your baby quickly outgrows the infant and smaller sizes, then you can change the size decals to identify clothing sizes for the toddler years and all the way through size 8. You can use the blank decals for special clothing items or even larger sizes as your child grows.

Using “Size-It” Closet Organizers, you can also easily see how many clothes or outfits of a certain size you have. That way, you can easily figure out if you child has enough clothing in his next or future size—information that may be useful for birthdays or at the start of a new school year.

Give Closet Organizers Along With Children’s Outfits

Here’s a tip:  Baby Buddy “Size-It” Closet Organizers make the perfect shower gift for new parents, so they can quickly organize clothing gifts starting with the infant size. 

Or give the “Size-It” Closet Organizers to any parent  struggling with an unsorted jumble of clothing in a kids closet, for an easy and inexpensive way to organize clothes.

Every baby needs a buddy!  Try all the Baby Buddy products for infants and toddlers, including Baby’s 1^st Toothbrush, Secure-A-Toy straps, Bib Clip, and Bear Pacifier Holder.

You love sushi, but can’t handle the chopsticks? Then Holdstix easy-to-use chopsticks are for you.

Unlike some other “cheater” chopsticks, Holdstix are not a toy. Made of dishwasher-safe plastic, the light color simulates the look of traditional wooden chopsticks. With a whimsical—but not silly—animal  design to distinguish each set, Holdstix can help to create a cultural dining experience the whole family will love.

Holdstix easy-to-use chopsticks are inexpensive, yet last. Each pack has four sets of Holdstix, one each of four designs:  red dragon, black panda, blue fish and green butterfly.

From kids to adults, everyone has fun eating with Holdstix!

Even Little Hands Can Control the Holdstix Chopsticks

When kids see their parents eating Chinese with chopsticks, naturally they want to do the same. Now they can, with Holdstix easy-to-use chopsticks.

Each Holdstix consists of two slim plastic “sticks,” about eight inches long, with a secure pivot point. All it takes is a gentle squeeze of the two “sticks” to successfully pick up a food bite. The horizontal grooves at the ends of the sticks help to keep the food from slipping.

Holdstix are easy to grip and easy to control, even for a young person’s little hands. Because they are so easy to use, children not more than age two can learn to use Holdstix as a utensil.

Older children will love using Holdstix right away. Consider them as a party favor, or for use in the classroom or with a scout troop when celebrating Chinese New Year.

Give a Fun Gift To Your Chopsticks-Challenged Friends

Not everyone can master the use of traditional chopsticks. If you have friends who are “chopsticks challenged,” then surprise them at your next visit to an Asian restaurant with their very own Holdstix. They’ll be delighted to never again ask for a fork at the sushi bar.

Simple, Inexpensive and Portable

With Holdstix easy-to-use chopsticks, everyone  can have fun and enjoy the experience of eating with chopsticks.  Use them at home, or pack them in your purse or pocket for use at you favorite restaurant.

If you like the selection and price of canned sodas, but hate the spills and waste, then QuikTop can-tops are for you.  Unlike Snap Capp and other beverage can-caps on the market, QuikTop is the only one that hermetically seals in carbonation and is easy to use.

The QuikTop can-top easily attaches to the top of a soda can, effectively turning the can into a resealable, spill-proof bottle.  Even though you’re drinking a canned beverage, you’ll  twist the plastic QuikTop cap on and off, and drink from a plastic bottle spout , just like a bottled beverage.

QuikTop can-tops are available in multiple colors, making them useful at parties and other gatherings for identifying whose drink is whose.  You can purchase QuikTop can-tops individually or in more convenient multi-packs.

The QuikTop Hermetic Seal Eliminates Spills and Keeps Drinks Fizzy

Inferior can-topper products won’t give you the hermetic seal that’s attained with the patented QuikTop can-top.  Its hermetic seal assures you that carbonation says in and liquid doesn’t leak out, so you eliminate spills and the waste of pouring flat soda down the drain.

Many people—particularly the elderly and youngsters—can’t drink a full can of soda at one time, and an opened can of soda quickly goes flat. With the QuikTop, you can save the unfinished soda, re-open it later and still have a fizzy drink.  Because of the hermetic seal and plastic screw top, the carbonation will last about the same length of time as an opened bottled beverage.

With QuikTop can-tops, you can also eliminate wasted drinks due to spillage and the messy cleanup those spills require.  As long as the QuikTop cap is screwed on tight, your canned beverage won’t leak or spill. This is useful on the playground, in the house, while traveling…and just about everywhere.

You can even carry a QuikTop can in your purse or backpack, or clip it to your belt, without worry of leaks.

Perfect  At A Party or Picnic:  Keep Bugs Out, Identify Drinks By QuikTop Color

With multiple colors available, you can use QuikTop can-tops on canned sodas at a party to help identify each person’s can. Alternatively, you can attach any style of tags to the QuikTop plastic loop for more specific identification.

When outdoors, the screen within the QuikTop spout will prevent bees and other insects from entering a can. For kids of any age, the screened spout accommodates straws.

The QuikTop “Click” Is Your Assurance That Soda Won’t Spill and Carbonation Won’t Escape

The QuikTop is easy to use, and makes a firm “click” when properly attached to a can. To attach a QuikTop, first separate the screw-cap piece from the smaller ring-shaped piece with drinking spout. Center the ring portion on the top of an opened can, and press firmly in the center until you hear the “click.” Once the ring component is in place, creating an airtight seal around the top of the can, then simply screw the cap on the spout as you would a plastic bottle to keep your drink fresh and fizzy.

The QuikTop is just as easy to remove from the can. Remove the cap; then gently squeeze the two tabs on opposing sides of the ring toward the center, and lift off the QuikTop ring.

The QuikTop fits both older and newer-style  aluminum can tops, but because of slight differences in can tops, the manufacturer recommends that you don’t attach any one QuikTop can-top to both types of can or leaking may result. This is because the pliable QuikTop ring can slightly change its shape for the first can type, and no longer be able to completely seal to the second type. If you have two types of cans in your house, then simply mark QuikTop products for each type.

Many Thoughtful Features Are Designed Into The QuikTop Can-Top

Your spill-proof QuikTop can-top has many useful and practical features:

• Hermetic seal guarantees a spill-proof can
• The drink spout is easier and safer, with fewer spills, than drinking from a can
• The cap functions as a can opener, a drinking cup, or as a coaster
• A  screen within the drink spout prevents insects from entering the can and accommodates a straw
• There is a plastic loop for clipping cans with QuikTop can-tops onto belts or backpacks
• Components are dishwasher safe

QuikTop  can-tops are available from Compac Industries, Inc.
