Kitchenware News & Housewares Review Show Daily Sunday, March 19, 2017 6 PRECIDIO BRINGING REUSABLE SNACKING & DRINKING TO MASS MARKET WITH DB2 & SB2 Precidio Design is excited to launch its new economical line of reusable drink and snack containers, DB2 and SB2! Just like the original "In the Box" lines, DB2 and SB2 offer the same convenient fea- tures for healthy snacking and drinking on-the-go, now at a more affordable price point for the mass retail market. Playing off the success of Precidio's original specialty product, Drink in the Box™, DB2 and SB2 both feature the signature boxy design and eco-friendly sustainability to help families reduce their carbon footprint, while also providing healthier snack and drink options for their children. DB2 and SB2 are made of food- safe, BPA-, BPS- and phthalate-free polypropylene, so parents can rest easy that there is no risk of chemical leaching or contamination in their children's food and drinks. Both are also top-rack dish- washer safe and easily come apart for thorough, easy cleaning to prevent mold and bacteria growth. Being square, they also take up less space in a lunch bag and are leak proof to prevent messy mishaps. Compared to Drink in the Box, DB2 does offer some notable differences, including the new Push-Back, Pop-Up lids which can be opened with one hand, mak- ing it easy for little hands and fun for kids to use! DB2 will also be available in two larg- er sizes, 10-ounce and 14-ounce, perfect for long days at school, daycare or trips. Just like Snack in the Box, SB2 allows parents to pack two snacks in one durable, spill-proof container. With two separate 6-ounce chambers topped with pop-up lids, it's easy to pour healthy snacks and fruit in the right amounts and get them out easily, too. One side can be packed with a healthy choice and the other with a fun treat. SB2 has a polypropylene base, but retains all the performance of Tritan™ pop-up doors. With SB2 durable design, snacks stay protected on-the-go and will not mush or crush in your bag. DB2 and SB2 will be available in four bold and bright colors that kids will love: blue, green, pink and purple. DB2 retails for $7.99 (10-ounce) and $9.99 (14-ounce). SB2 retails for $7.99.

POWER PERCH OUTLET SHELF PROVIDES DESIGNATED CHARGING PLACE FOR ELECTRONICS BeraTek Industries, a product design and manufacturing company, has launched Power Perch™, the outlet shelf for elec- tronics. The Power Perch is a shelf designed to easily organize and save space anywhere there is an outlet. The Power Perch is the ideal solution for holding a variety of everyday items, including electronic devices which require easy access to an outlet. The stur- dy, easy-to-install shelf is ideal for any location that could use some extra space for storage and organization, such as the kitchen, bathroom, garage, family room or dorm room. "The Power Perch solves an every- day problem. I needed to charge my phone or tablet but didn't want to leave it on our overcrowded counter or on the floor next to the outlet," said Gerald Beranek, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of BeraTek. "I designed the Power Perch as a space-saving solution to solve this problem. I now have a place to set my phone or any other electronic device – off the counter and off the floor – while it charges. The shelf is held in place with an existing outlet cover, so there is no need to put an extra hole in the wall. I also use the Power Perch to hold my razor in the bathroom where counter space is very limited." Manufactured by BeraTek in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the Power Perch is currently available at www.power- perch.com and retails for $9.99. BeraTek is currently seeking distribution partners for the Power Perch. Inquires can be sent to bschroeder@beratek-indus- tries.com.
