Pouch Squeezer 3D print model

Increasingly, a growing number of products are coming to you in pouches - petfood, human food, hair colorings, cooking sauces - the list keeps on growing. Although these packets may be excellent for "the environment," they share one problem with traditional cans and bottles: a small amount of waste remains, even after squeezing out as much as possible. This becomes particularly evident when we're constantly encouraged to save as much as we can. To solve this issue, I designed the Pouch Squeezer, a handy device that acts like hair straighteners. Simply squeeze out some content by hand and then close the squeezer's jaws around it. Holding onto the pouch at the bottom, you can drag the squeezer upwards, forcing the contents to come out into the emptying vessel. This ensures maximum wringing out of the pouch and effectively eliminates waste. The Pouch Squeezer has been thoroughly tested and proves its efficiency with toothpaste tubes, food pouches, hair-product pouches, paint, and oil tubes - even on stubborn items like paint thinner and motor oils (with caution: harsh chemicals may break it down). I actually designed this device to be used for feeding catfood in gravy; my cats enjoy it immensely, but dealing with the subsequent mess proved a daunting task every morning. This designer approach led me to create the Pouch Squeezer, solving my problem by preventing cold gravy from splashing on fingers while also making cleaning up afterwards incredibly easy. The Squeezer's 100mm-wide jaws accommodate most pouches of that size and smaller; simply compress one side, then the other, to ensure clean hands if the pouch is wider.
