OLFA Pakkel S – Package Opener / Ambidextrous

A cutter made just for opening packages

Ever struggled with a snack bag that has a notch but still won’t tear open? Or a plastic pouch that wrinkles up and refuses to cut cleanly with scissors?
We’ve all been there.

The Pakkel S is a dedicated package opener designed to make those moments effortless. Originally developed as a professional tool, it’s just as handy in everyday life at home. In our own kitchen, it’s become something we can’t imagine being without.

Its ambidextrous design means anyone in the family—left-handed or right-handed—can use it with ease.

Cuts smoothly and safely with minimal effort

The design is simple: inside the tong-shaped handle is a tiny stainless steel blade. Just pinch the spot you want to cut and slide—it’s done.

Because the blade is set inside the grip, your fingers never come close to it. It’s safe for children and older family members alike. A built-in guide shows exactly where the blade is located (the vertical line marks the blade position).

Two color options

Available in Yellow and Blue, both easy to spot in a busy kitchen drawer.

・The iconic OLFA Yellow
・A cool, refreshing Blue for those who prefer cooler tones

Compact and easy to store

At home, we hang ours on a magnetic hook attached to the metal kitchen cabinet so it’s always within reach.

The stainless steel blade can be rinsed with water when dirty. Be sure to dry it thoroughly before storing.

For more than just food packages

Perfect for opening not only snack and frozen food bags, but also soil and fertilizer sacks, pet food bags, and more. Keep one in the kitchen, the garden shed, and anywhere else you might need it.
