C.H. Hanson® and El Marko® “Now, Opening a Box Near You” with Innovative Bladeless Box Claw™

The patented Bladeless Box Claw™ from C.H. Hanson® and El Marko® tears through the old ways of package-opening and provides a more convenient solution. It prioritizes user safety without compromising performance.

NAPERVILLE, IL  – Feb 28, 2024 – The box cutter in your grandpa’s tool chest is about to be retired from service and replaced by the new Box Claw™ from C.H. Hanson^® and El Marko^®.

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 Box Claw measures six inches in length making it easy to use and convenient to store. By introducing a patented claw design, C.H. Hanson has successfully redefined the landscape of package opening tools. As consumers increasingly seek safer and ecologically friendly options, the Box Claw tears through the old ways of package-opening and provides a more convenient solution. Consumers no longer have to discard dangerous razor blades in the trash with this new product.

The Box Claw 2-in-1 Marker and Box Opener is exclusively available through C.H. Hanson.
