Dispensing Packaging
Containers for fragrance and cream are available in sizes of 5 and 8 ml in a variety of colors and decorating options. The dispensing containers add to a preexisting selection of pumps and dispensers for cosmetic, health, and beauty applications. More information and samples are available from the manufacturer. Arrowpak Inc., Richmond Hill, NY.
Treatment Dispenser
A line of treatment dispensers features a metal-free fluid path. The design places the metal spring outside of the fluid path, reducing the risk of corrosion and discoloration since no metal comes in contact with the formula. The Pure Path technology aims to reduce potential compatibility issues. It is available in the Aria and Sonnet dispensers. Both dispensers feature good priming performance with even the highest-viscosity products, as well as an ergonomic dispenser head for fingertip comfort. Saint-Gobain Calmar, City of Industry, CA.
Lotion Pump
A clear, polyethylene, 250-ml lotion pump reportedly offers dependability and ergonomic advantages. With a 4-ml output and a standard-finish neck of 28-410, the patented Symplicity dispenser demonstrates good performance and comprises fewer moving parts than conventional lotion pumps. The Symplicity dispenser’s pump lock and water-resistant design enhance its efficiency and clean operation. Airspray International Inc., Pompano Beach, FL.
Pump Assembly
A pump assembly was designed for the Dior Capture Sculpt 10 anti-aging cream package. The assembly includes a metallic silver actuator, an end-closing tip that slides forward and overhangs the orifice of the dispenser, and an SP343 lotion pump engine. The end-closing-tip mechanism prevents the product from drying out or being contaminated by outside particles. Rexam Dispensing Systems, Purchase, NY.
Beauty Product Container
The Diamond series of containers includes two types of cream dispenser and a multifunctional cream jar. The dispensers incorporate a patented pump system designed for user convenience and ease of filling. The Diamond containers feature a curved design. RPC Bramlage GmbH, Lohne, Germany.
Airless Dispensers
Featuring an apothecary-inspired design, a line of stock airless dispensers from the Paris series includes a matching overcap, pump, and bottle. The pump and bottle are made of polypropylene, which provides high chemical resistance. The Frost line can be further customized with labeling, silk-screening, hot stamping, metallizing, and other decoration methods. Matching pumps are available in metal or plastic finishes, and matching caps are available in clear or natural finishes. Cospack America Corp., Edison, NJ.
Water-Resistant Design
A patented water-resistant dispenser is designed for such personal care products as shampoo, conditioner, and hair-treatment items that are stored in damp environments. With a 3.2-cm3 output, the stock pump is available in four ergonomic versions. The pump’s neck can be provided in a smooth or a ribbed finish. Decorating options include hot stamping, metallization, and application of an aluminum skirt. Arminak & Associates, Duarte, CA.
Low-Profile Pump
A pump is nearly invisible inside the bottle, which allows light to maximize the design, shape, and color of the glass. Outside the bottle, the pump is miniaturized, with a height of only 9.95 mm, so that it can be fitted to most designs. It is designed for use with personal fragrance products. The company specializes in standard and custom luxury pumps for the fragrance and cosmetic industries. Valois of America, Congers, NY.
Twin-Chamber Foamer
A foamer comprises the features of a traditional foaming pump, but it is also designed to keep two formulations separate until the moment of use. At that moment, the two products are mixed precisely and equally. The foamer contains two small foam-pump systems, with one single converter operating both chambers. At the point of discharge, the contents are combined to instantly create a 50/50 foam formulation. Output is 0.8 ml per stroke. Continental Packaging Solutions, Chicago, IL.
