There are clips made for metal, hybrid or plastic paint can lids in ½ pint, 1 pint, 1 quart, ½ gallon and 1 gallon size cans/lids. These clips are easy to apply and remove and add an extra measure of security to ensure paint cans do not leak or spill during transport or storage.

To attach, hold the clip between your fingers, align with the lid and apply pressure until the clip snaps into place. To remove, pry the clip off with either a screwdriver or pliers.

How many clips are typically used per can?

Does every clip work with all types and sizes of cans?
