Story of a Paint Can
The Edge Drop is not rocket science! It is a simple redesign of the paint can to ensure that you pour out all the paint into the mixing bucket without spilling any. Similar to the spout of a jug, the inward niche on the rim looks to be a practical solution and something that can make a difference. What do you think?
Edge Drop is a 2011 iF concept design entry.
Designers: Junyoung Jang & Jiseok Heo

if you cut a nich in the rim you wont be able to get a proper seal on the can. theres a reason this hasnt been done before.

not smart at all … much more expensive to produce and not sure it will ever work like in the image…

True… I wonder why Dutch Boy uses it but others don’t… interesting!

Cost.
Rolled metal and even blow-molded can shaped paint cans are far cheaper to produce then the DB jugs.
Also there’s the standardization thing.

Awesome idea, and ya sure cost will be an initial problem, but it should solve it self out. Especially at the price of a decent paint – Lad from SA

If anything, I would call this a lesson on my part. Now I know that I can just bang a notch into a can of paint next time I need to pour some. And cover it with some kind of filler material on the lid. I don’t know why I’ve never thought of this before though…

Is it worth the extra cost?
