Yup, something like that. Did have a single, central vertical panel in mind, for a simpler look, but realize this might create a balancing issue for the rolls.
Hi Marc.
I really like your idea. Simple, efficient.
Have you considered designing some sort of simple wallmount, so you can hang your rolls? If I had many rolls going at once, they would get mixed up in a drawer, but using the u-shaped end, you could hang them somewhere (on a material that wouldn't damage the blade of course), for easy and quick access. If it is giftwrapping paper, it might even be decorative and in a kitchen it would give a functional look. What you think?
Looks good. I would like to suggest changing the angle of the cutting edge part so that it points downward as well as has a say slight angle inward. That way you can ensure that the paper edge will not bunch up.
As I saw mike's integration of images in the comments area I would like to use it for showing you an updated image including a possible handle and print on it.
Hope it works to show the image. ;)
@Dario:
Thx a lot for your suggestion, but you don't have to worry. I tested it with a sort of prototype before and it didn't scratch the paper. ;)
@Melissa:
Thx so much for your opinion - you can imagine it sounds great ;) Also your idea sounds very interesting - this makes me thinking about a possibility. I'm not sure if everyone has space for an extra grid but maybe if the clips could be connected to each other holding the paper rolls together...?
Really great input - thx a lot and all the best,
Marc
I can't believe how many people feel the need to "trouble-shoot" a perfectly simple idea that is brilliant! Not to mention, I also really like the look. I realize that I may sound a bit like a Stepford Mom here, but there are actually plenty of us out here who have "gift closets"--places where we keep the gifts to give along with the table and storage area to keep the gift wrap, ribbons and cards. I would love to see (perhaps in MY room!) ten different roles of paper, each with its own hook/clip that would allow it to be kept neatly and also hang it on a grid of some sort. this way i could see all of the paper choices and I could store them on the wall without using up all of my table and floor space. Oops, I did the same thing as everyone else, I dared to give input for a new twist on what really is a perfect product.
At first, thanks a lot again for your suggestions, thoughts and additional input.
@John:
Good ideas! Your suggestion of using some helical shape was one of those things I already integrated in the design since this type of shape was also necessary to enable the "starting-cut" while the clip's already on the paper roll.
To additionally reduce the holding pressure I'm already thinking of some slight bevel in the grip, increasing into the direction of the cut.
@Genevieve:
Unfortunately, using any kind of additional, different material than the product itself would make it much more expensive. Actually, there shouldn't be a need for an elastic or string since the clip shape ensures the unrolling.
But maybe I understood you wrong...?
@Monique:
I was also thinking of using it for this foil. ;)
But besides the problem to move "Cut'n'Clip" along this adhesive material (maybe some sort of metal will do, but this increases also the costs) this foil needs a very very sharp blade. But as you said - may be "a special version" will do ;)
@Stephen:
Ooooppsss... please excuse my bad English but I thought "baking paper" was the right one for parchment paper. Anyway, this way I've learned something new... ;)
Aluminium foil is a very complicated thing. If we use a metal blade then metal will cut metal and this will lead very soon to a blunt blade.
But it may be possible to produce a "special version" (hey, Monique, here it is again ;) ) where you can change different types of blades (one with a metal blade, one with a ceramic blade, one with some sort of a rolling blade, one for perforating etc.).
@Mr. Snazzy:
I have searched the internet to find some pictures of these peelers but unfortunately haven't seen any ergonomic handle on it. Anyway, I also think some kind of ergonomic will be perfect (pls see also my comment to John).

Agree totally, Jesper and many thanks for your suggestion.
Yes, I already thought about it. Maybe something like that? ;) (quick and dirty ;))

Looks good! I like the pivoting end. Just round the corners slightly so they don't tear the paper.

i love it, except i have a slight fear that this will put scratch marks all over the wrapping paper making it about as good as sticky tape.
