What is Sip n’ Clip?

Hey everybody, my name is Seth and I invented Sip n’ Clip, a new type of travel accessory that solves a global travel problem while creating a new way for brands and people to connect! If you fly, take the train, bus, or ride in the back of a car, then you will love Sip n’ Clip! 

In addition to creating a really cool and useful product that improves the travel experience, a major goal of mine is to redefine what “value” means for the massive promotional product industry. You know that industry where you get all those branded swag items at trade shows, events, or from employers? Much of this stuff ends up in that junk drawer in your kitchen, or in a landfill. That stinks! 

We are focusing on utility, social impact, and sustainability so that we can offer companies and people a more effective and useful way to connect across the promotional product industry! 

We created Sip n’ Clip for the airplane, however… as we went along our design journey we found opportunities to design Sip n’ Clip so it could provide value throughout your travel experience and even while at home! Sip n’ Clip makes for a great phone holder at your desk while you work and dream about your next travel adventure! We tested Sip n’ Clip on most of the major airlines and it worked great! We tested on and researched to confirm usability across various models for American Airlines, Delta, United, Southwest, Air Canada, Jet Blue, and many more!

We have all been there before! Don’t deal with these travel problems and balancing acts on your next trip! Get a Sip n’ Clip! 

Each Sip n’ Clip will be packaged with our sustainably designed, patent pending header card shown on the left. It will have our Instagram account on it so please follow us once you receive your Sip n’ Clip 🙂

 We are incredibly excited to Sip n’ Clip with you, we know you’ll love it! Below are the rewards we created with a few Early Bird specials with our most competitive pricing and projected Holiday delivery for US-based orders.

The promotional product industry is a huge industry faced with several big challenges: waste and sustainability, lack of social impact, and innovative and useful products. A key challenge most every company across the industry faces is “How do we offer our clients something new and innovative that they will love and actually use?”

Sip n’ Clip addresses these challenges by creating a completely new way for brands and people to connect, improving the travel experience, donating to a great cause, and keeping environmental impacts front of mind across all that we do.

Our mission is:

We established 3 pillars on which to build our product and company; Social impact, Sustainability, and Innovation. These are the three critical themes we identified in our research across the promotional product industry. 

Our journey in creating Sip n’ Clip has certainly been longer than we anticipated! That said, we could not be happier with where we landed on our product design and social impact focus. The journey graphic below shows some of the key chunks of work and phases we completed over the years while juggling the birth of 2 amazing kids, full time work, and grad school! 

Throughout our journey we spoke with and learned from business travelers, bloggers, social media influencers, mothers traveling with kids, trade show professionals, Event profs, members of the hospitality industry, flight crew, travel advisors, and more! Each group of people provided valuable insight that helped us create a truly unique product.  We are so grateful for everyone’s input!

We’re happy to share more, just message us with questions! 

When I first thought of the idea for Sip n’ Clip and sketched my first drawing (v1), I thought it was amazing and that was going to be it! Wow, was I wrong! I built a 3D printer so we could quickly test and learn from the many (not so good) design concepts we created.  If you have ever 3D printed something, then you know… so many late-night hours, learnings, failures and exciting emotions. Version V10 is where we landed, we’re super excited to share it with you all. We think you’re going to love it!

The design for our packaging was quite the evolution as well.  The GIF below shows a small sample of our many prototypes designed and tested with travelers each time we traveled. We wanted to create something simple, sustainable, and innovative. We landed on a great patent-pending self-locking header card design made from 100% recycled paper that uses all-natural potato-based adhesive and eco-friendly inks. No extra stables, tape, or plastic bags! 

Below are a few ways we conducted some product testing to show you the strength, durability, and versatility of Sip n’ Clip. Travel can sometimes get a bit hectic with things being tossed and crammed into all types of bags. We wanted to make sure we developed a quality product that could withstand the rough and tumble ride inside most any bag.

Below is a sample hero image we created for our video… we decided to go with the cyan color image instead. Hope we made the right decision, and it caught your eye!

Included in the table below are the shipping fees for each of the countries we plan to ship to. INCLUDED in this price is the VAT and taxes for each country. We’re new to international shipping so if there are any hiccups (we’re planning very hard to make sure there aren’t any) we will be sure to work with you to sort it all out.
