In today’s competitive world, packaging that is functional and functional is not enough for brands as consumers are always looking for “perfect.” When it comes to dispensing systems, consumers want more—perfect functionality and practicality, as well as a visually appealing appearance. To this end, brands, both well-known and mass-market, are considering multiple options to upgrade their dispensing systems for almost any product, from fragrances, creams, lotions, hair care products and even hand washing products.

Here are some tips for determining your dispensing system.

 

Choose a pump that stands out both aesthetically and functionally

Naturally, people tend to show more interest in visually appealing items. In this sense, aesthetic design will help brands gain a place in the fierce market competition. This better explains why more and more brands, big and small, are looking for pumps with a visual aesthetic. However, when aesthetics run counter to performance, people may turn to less attractive pumps. Therefore, when deciding on a pump, it must combine aesthetics with high-end performance.

 

Dispensing systems compatible with product formulations

When choosing a pump, brands must consider the compatibility of the dispensing system with the product formulation. Brands may have more stringent requirements for distribution systems, especially if the product formulation is complex. For some formulations, an airless dispensing system is a good choice, while for others a foam or other dispensing system may be better. Sometimes compatibility requires that metal parts in a dispensing system should not come into contact with internal products.

There are also more and more types of dispensing systems according to the functional requirements of new product formulations. Cream pumps can precisely dispense high viscosity formulas such as creams.

In order to meet the needs of environmental protection, all-plastic pumps are becoming more and more popular. It does not contain metal springs, which prevents the product from reacting with metal parts. And single materials are easier to recycle. At present, major brands are more willing to use this environmentally friendly dispensing system.

 

Foam products

Foamed products are more popular in the market. They are effective at removing grease and grime and are easier to rinse off. Importantly, they give a gentle feel. If you want to feel better when using your cleanser, foam products may be a good choice. Of course, the foam dispensing system is the key to accurate dosing and a better user experience.

There are many options for foam pumps, including sizes, with or without covers, internal or external springs. In addition to taking into account attractive appearance, functionality and compatibility, a new type of pump with a filter screen at the outlet was developed for hygienic needs, preventing potential contamination from backflow.
