Helping an inventor’s dreams come true

Ellie McDaniel • Sep 18, 2015

TCB-Arrow were approached by Melissa Edmunds with the concept of a cover to stop drinks spilling. Trademarked Safesip , this cover would be for the childcare, elderly, and disabled markets, so it had to be versatile for different types of cups and glasses. To do this, we designed and manufactured a liquid silicone injection tool to meet Melissa’s criteria and create a successful product.

Made from food grade silicone, the Safesip is 100% BPA free as well as being dishwasher and microwave safe. Its clever design fits onto virtually any glass, mug, cup, or can, making drinking with dignity easier than ever.

The hard work has certainly paid off, with Melissa and the Safesip winning multiple awards. We are so proud that it is becoming a household brand and is rated 9.5 out of 10 on Trust Pilot.
