ZipIt pencil cases to be sold at Walgreens

TEL AVIV, Israel ZipIt Ltd. announced that leading U.S. retailers Walgreens and Office Depot will include its fashionable, functional pencil cases among its Back-to-School 2009 offerings. During the next two months, the cases will be available at promotional prices in approximately 5,000 stores to cost-conscious Back-to-School shoppers.

Displayed in fluorescent trays, the rolls of long, colorful zippers will be zipped-up by school children of all ages to become novelty pencil cases - the first in ZipIt's S-Cool line of products.

Commercially launched in 2005, ZipIt Bags have been recognized at exhibitions as 'Product of the Year' in Boston and 'Most Innovative Product' in Cannes (France) and draw crowds of people, eager to zip them, wherever they are shown.
