Jack-in-the-Box Shredders

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The IDEA International Bye Bye Handy Shredder Has a Manual Crank

— August 13, 2012 — Art & Design
The Idea International Bye Bye Handy Shredder boasts a minimalist design that will make the kid in you squirm with excitement.

These office supplies are tiny additions to your bookshelf that are easy on the eyes as well as easy to use. They come in pastel pink, baby blue, chalk gray, lime yellow and also dainty white. All you have to do is insert an A4 size sheet into the slim slit and turn the retractable crank, just like you would a Jack-In-The-Box. The box has a small, slide-out compartment to store all your cross-cut shreds.

Perhaps the best part about this toy-like design is that manual operation yields no sound -- it works silently (unlike most toys kids have access to these days). If you have a child with itchy hands, this may just be the perfect christmas gift -- for the both of you.

Trend Themes
1. Minimalist Office Supplies - Opportunity to innovate on sleek designs for everyday office products.
2. Manual Operated Office Tools - Opportunity to create office tools that can be used with non-electric power and produces no sounds.
3. Kid-friendly Office Supplies - Opportunity to innovate on office supplies that can appeal to kids while still serving the purpose of adults.
Industry Implications
1. Office Supplies - Opportunity to develop new office products with unique designs and features.
2. Toy Manufacturing - Opportunity to create educational toys that introduce children to office supplies while also appealing to their sense of play.
3. Environmental and Sustainable Goods - Opportunity to create non-electric office supplies that are sustainable and environmentally friendly.
