Crocodile: A Foil Dispenser Inspired by the Powerful Jaws of Crocodiles

Revolutionizing Food Storage with Safety and Efficiency

Inspired by the powerful jaws of crocodiles, the Crocodile foil dispenser is designed to solve the problems faced by users with unsafe and imprecise existing foil dispensers and their inefficient cutting mechanisms.

Crocodile is a unique and innovative kitchen utensil that combines functionality, safety, and aesthetics. With the increasing importance of food storage in our homes, it is essential to have a reliable and efficient way to cover our meals with stretch films. Unlike traditional stretch-film dispensers, Crocodile provides an opportunity to both press and cut the stretch film at the same time, making it a convenient and time-saving tool.

The mechanism of Crocodile works like a pair of scissors. When the handle is forced, the foil, stuck between two surfaces, is easily cut by a sharp edge. This simple yet effective mechanism ensures that Crocodile operates with the utmost efficiency. Additionally, the dispenser features a child lock, making it safe to use in any kitchen without the risk of accidents.

Designed by Hakan Gürsu and the Designnobis team, Crocodile is not only functional but also visually appealing. Its bright color palette brings a joyful look to the kitchen, adding a touch of fun to the cooking experience. The product is compact within its packaging and can be served as a promotional package along with the foil itself.

The Crocodile foil dispenser is made using injection molding technology, ensuring a high-quality finish. The material used is ABS plastic, known for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. With its ergonomic design and user-friendly features, Crocodile is a must-have kitchen tool for anyone who values convenience and efficiency.

Since its introduction in 2013, Crocodile has received recognition for its innovative design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Bakeware, Tableware, Drinkware, and Cookware Design category in 2015. This prestigious award is bestowed upon outstanding designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to improvements in quality of life.

Crocodile is not just a foil dispenser; it is a testament to the power of design to solve everyday problems and enhance our lifestyle. With its unique features and attention to detail, Crocodile brings a new level of convenience and efficiency to food storage, making it a valuable addition to any kitchen.
