On Display--Dispensers: Dandy Dispensers
Twist-and-Lock Design
The GS Twist-and-Lock Pump is designed to prevent product from leaking. The pump’s locking mechanism is activated when a user twists the actuator. The pump is available with eight standard actuator designs as well as with plastic and metal collars. Size options are 24 and 28 mm, while dosage options are 1.2 or 2 cc. A tamper-evident clip can also be added. Emsar, Stratford, CT.
Dispensers
Dispensers for fragrance and cream are available in sizes of 5 and 8 ml in a variety of colors and decorating options. The dispensers are part of the supplier’s existing selection of pumps and dispensers for cosmetic, health, and beauty applications. Arrowpak Inc., Richmond Hill, NY.
Dispensing Cap
A supplier’s unique, patented dispensing closure features a self-cleaning orifice design. When the dispenser’s finger pad is pushed down, any product residue on the dispensing orifice is scraped off as the finger pad slides along the side of the closure. The X-Press closure is designed for one-handed dispensing. It is available in a 24-410 neck-finish size and a 2-in.-diam size. M&H Plastics USA, Winchester, VA.
Mini Sprayer
A mini fragrance sprayer is designed to be travel-friendly. Ideal for retail kits and promotional products, the Stilo Replica is available in sizes of 7.5 and 10 ml. The dispenser can be lacquered or metallized, or it can be screen-printed with a brand’s artwork. The dispenser’s spray nozzle can be provided in metal or plastic. A metal or plastic cap is also available. Valois of America, Congers, NY.
Discreet Dip Tube
A dispenser supplier has designed a dip tube that uses light-refracting technology to make it appear invisible when submerged in a fragrance. Unlike traditional dip tubes, which can visually detract from the look of a fragrance bottle design, the NoC dip tube is designed to be discreet. The dip tube is available on the supplier’s low-profile Melodie fragrance sprayer, which features a miniature engine that can be hidden in the neck of a bottle. MeadWestvaco Calmar, Grandview, MO.
Airless Style
A company offers a wide range of airless lotion dispensers. Models include the Sof’Airless piston-driven dispenser and a unique tube/dispenser package that combines high-precision dispensing with the convenience of a tube. Additional offerings are the Sof’Bag package with a Snap On pump, which features a multilayer barrier pouch to protect sensitive creams and gels; and the AirFree coextruded bottle, which includes an internal pouch. The AirFree bottle and its internal pouch are manufactured in one simple coextrusion process, rather than requiring a separate pouch to be inserted into a bottle. Rexam Dispensing Systems, Purchase, NY.
EZi, Symplicity Dispensers
Two new dispensers have been introduced by a company. The EZi Foamer is a no-drip, water-resistant dispenser suited for high-output bath products. A new version of the company’s Symplicity lotion pump has also been launched. In addition to a Symplicity pump with a 4-ml output and a 28-410 neck finish, the supplier now offers a 2-ml, 24-410 neck-finish version. The all-plastic pump is water resistant and is suited for personal care products such as sun care items and bath and body products. Rexam Airspray, Pompano Beach, FL.
Airless Design
An airless pump is compatible with a supplier’s Paris and Chicago bottles, which are available in sizes ranging from 15 to 150 ml. The Boston pump features a wide actuator surface that is suited for men’s fingers. It also has a large orifice to accommodate highly viscous products such as liquid foundation.
