New Dispensers

A supplier of fine-mist sprayers and lotion pumps has added three new dispensers to its offerings. The Portable Anti-Clog pump (pictured) is a fine-mist sprayer with a unique door that can be relocked to prevent product from leaking. Another dispenser, called The Minis, features a bottle topped with either a fine-mist sprayer or a lotion pump with a relockable door. Finally, the company offers its EcoFoam Squeeze Foamer, which dispenses liquid product as foam when a user squeezes the bottle. Emsar, Stratford, CT.

Labeling Machines

A firm supplies pressure-sensitive labeling machines, including one it designed and built for Shiseido America. The Shiseido machine applied pressure-sensitive labels that the brand used to ensure product integrity for its Benefiance skin-care product packaging. Three jars in sizes of 15, 40, and 50 ml were run on the machine. The labels were extremely small, measuring 3.5 and 5.5 mm in width and 106, 121, and 129 mm in length. Logotech Inc., Fairfield, NJ.

Shatter-Safe Bottle

A glass bottle is coated with plastic, which helps to contain glass shards if the bottle breaks and shatters. Highly resistant to strong acids, alkalis, and most solvents, the coating keeps products like fragrance and essential oil from spilling if the bottle breaks. The coating also makes the bottle less slippery to hold. The Pour-Out SAFE bottle is available in seven sizes ranging from 15 to 1200 cm3, with a 28-430 neck finish. O. Berk Co., Union, NJ.

Cosmeceutical Closure

A 53-mm closure with a hinged lid is suited for dispensing such cosmeceutical products as capsules and powders. The closure's two pieces, which are molded separately and snapped together, can be supplied in different colors. The closure's flush-set hinge is designed to prevent breakage during production. Its durability withstands the wear and tear of repeated opening and closing. Liners can also be added. The supplier is currently developing this closure and offers prototype samples.

Earth-Friendly Container

An earth-friendly secondary container for Aveda's Uruku lipstick is an innovative look for a cosmetic package. Instead of a conventional carton, the Uruku secondary container is a clamshell molded from 100% recycled newspaper pulp. The clamshell was molded in a newspaper-and-water mixture and dried with technology used by the egg crate industry. To hold the clamshell closed, Aveda added a 100% PCR paperboard sleeve that was printed with soy ink from Johnson Printing. UFP Technologies, Georgetown, MA.

Smart Plastic

Polypropylene, PET, and PVC cartons are offered with many beneficial features. One carton model, called SmartKrease, has easy-to-crease corners. The sharp corners help maintain flat carton walls, overcoming the plastic's shape memory. Production can be run on automated erecting lines. To reduce transport costs, the cartons are shipped flat. For visual impact, cartons can be offset printed with photographic-like images. Other options include silk-screening, embossing, and hot stamping. HLP Clear Packaging Products USA Inc., Torrance, CA.

Two-Sided Printing

Resealable labels can be printed on both sides to accommodate additional text. P2S, or Printed 2 Side, labels feature a base constructed from a 2.6-mil white synthetic pressure-sensitive material. As part of the firm's proprietary converting process, a custom-developed treatment is applied to the label's adhesive side to lock in ink so that no ink transfers onto the container. Graphics are printed on both sides of the label using high-definition flexographic printing, which utilizes digital plates to create graphics. Prestige Label Company, Inc., Brooklyn, NY.

Clear Packaging

As a secondary container, clear packaging can showcase products on the shelf. Packages can be decorated using multicolor offset lithography, silk-screening, hot- and cold-leaf stamping, and embossing. Custom package styles can be created, such as tote bags, curved shapes, pillow packs, and packages with hangtags. Production benefits include soft-folding creases for easy carton setup and excellent performance on automatic cartoning equipment. Clearpak Inc., Stoney Creek, ON, Canada.
