Scrape-Free Wide Mouth Container
Patent Pending – United States & Canada
Executive Summary
The Scrape-Free Wide Mouth Container is an innovative packaging solution designed to eliminate one of the most common frustrations consumers experience with jars and wide-mouth containers—product waste trapped at the bottom. Featuring a unique accordion-style internal sleeve and movable base, the container allows users to progressively raise the remaining contents toward the opening, making it easy to access virtually every last drop without scraping, shaking, or using utensils.
Unlike conventional containers that leave valuable product inaccessible, this patented design improves convenience, reduces waste, and enhances the overall consumer experience while maintaining compatibility with existing packaging applications.

This often results in:
- Product waste
