Rieke Packaging Systems launched an ideal travel packaging solution

Rieke Packaging Systems Englass says its recently launched range of Airless Dispensers provides the ideal travel packaging solution for personal care products in the light of the latest EU security measures at airports. The regulations prohibit containers exceeding 100ml from being carried through airport security checkpoints. The 50ml and 100ml size Airless Dispensers are therefore ideal as ‘travel-size’ versions.

The dispensers have been developed to handle a wide variety of products of different viscosities, including creams, lotions and gels, and a non-metal contact construction means they are compatible with a wider range of product formulations and ingredients. The dispensers feature a pre-assembled one-piece follower piston and are designed to pump air via a unique valve system, while an innovative suckback feature pulls product back into the nozzle for clean and hygienic operation.

The range offers a choice of two modern-looking container designs – slim-line or wide-bore. Both pack sizes deliver optional doses of 0.5, 1, 1.5 or 2ml. The dispensers are available in natural, transparent and coloured combinations with a variety of decoration options, to enable them to be personalised to individual brand requirements. The wide pack is also available in 150 and 200ml sizes. “New security measures mean smaller size packs will become increasingly popular for personal care products, “ predicts Warren Wharton of Rieke Packaging Systems Englass.

“At the same time, these packs have to retain their style and on-shelf impact as well as being convenient and user-friendly. The Airless Dispensers fulfil all these criteria.”
