Z Can Opener\u201d has been produced by Prince Industries (Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture), one of Japan’s leading can opener manufacturers, since its establishment in 1969.
Without changing the auspicious \u201cgourd\u201d shape that has remained unchanged since its birth, it has become a long-selling product that has been continuously loved for more than 60 years since its predecessor company. This \u201clever-type\u201d can opener was the first shape in the world adopted by the Z can opener, and is now widely used by the general public.
In rebranding the Z can opener, we have kept the same shape, expanded the color range from the previous two colors, and adopted new retro packaging that evokes the history of the Z can opener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2025, the popular plated gold, silver, and copper colors of the forged peg Elise Stake were added as new colors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[As a practical product\u3000
The Elise Stake can be used in a wide range of situations at home, outdoors, and even in times of disaster!
Despite its compact shape, it also has a bottle opener and performs two functions in one.
The shelf life of pull-top canned foods is said to be about three years, while the shelf life of canned foods that can be opened with a can opener is about one and a half years.
Canned food of the can opener type is excellent as a preservative food, and having a Z can opener in your house, in your outdoor gear, or in your car will be of great help in the event of a disaster. In fact, Prince Kogyo can openers were very useful during the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[As a good luck charm\u3000
For examinations and weddings!
The shape of the Z can opener resembles a gourd, a symbol of good luck, making it an ideal gift for a wedding couple as a lucky charm, such as a gift to \u201copen the door to happiness.
The \u201cZ\u201d in the name contains the meaning of \u201cvictory\u201d as the last letter of the alphabet, and the \u201ccherry blossom\u201d color is expected to be in demand as a good-luck charm to \u201copen up the future\u201d for students preparing for exams, multiplying \u201csakura saku\u201d (cherry blossom).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
