On Display: Awesome Applicators
Nail Polish Applicator
A user can carry both a color polish and a nail-treatment product in one package. The dual nail polish applicator permits two bottles to be joined at a middle cap. This design makes it possible for the user to apply both nail polish and a nail hardener or fast-dry application from the same package. Arrowpak Inc., Richmond Hill, NY.
Brushes and Applicators
Brushes are manufactured for such high-end clients as Kenzo, Yves Saint Laurent, Guerlain, Helena Rubenstein, Lancaster, and others. Standard brushes and applicators are provided to Lancôme, Mary Kay, and Marcelle. A unique sponge dispensing concept was designed for Lancôme’s liquid foundation. The company also makes a powder dispensing brush called Dream Brush. Qualipac America, Wayne, NJ.
Spatulas
Flexible spatulas are offered in polypropylene and mounted on POM stems compatible with the company’s stock and custom bottles. The spatulas are designed for skin care and cosmetics. The Lux spatula is well suited to eye and lip makeup application and skin care products for sensitive, delicate areas. The longer Dôme and Sphère models are designed for treatments for the lips or around the eyes. The contours of the spatulas trap the product, which increases the quantity of product that is used at each application. Alcan Packaging Techpack, New York, NY.
Puffs
Puff applicators can be customized with fragrance and cosmetics. The puffs can be filled with scent, shimmer powder, and more. They are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, including small, round puffs and larger, heart-shaped puffs. Cool Cosmetic Packaging Inc., St. George, UT.
