Keeping a Low Profile with  Rexam’s New Fragrance Pump

New to Rexam Dispensing System’s product line is a super low profile pump (SLPP) with more transparency and neutrality, offering customers an elegant looking spray assembly that is less visible. The new SLPP mechanism with glass ball and transparent dip tube gives the pump assembly a modern, sleek, low profile appearance. The glass ball in the SLPP mechanism is an alternative to a metal ball. Not only does it increase the neutrality of the overall spray mechanism, it also presents a cleaner, more invisible appearance when coupled with the transparent dip tube.  The new SLPP assembly does not contain elastomers that could contaminate the product formula. The SLPP mechanism, which can accommodate dosages from 70 to 120 mmL, comes with a choice of attachments including crimpless, crimp on (no gasket) and screw on. More information: www.rexam.com.

Consumers gently rub the label to activate tiny embedded fragrance beads representative of the product’s scent. Labels are dormant until activated by a gentle rubbing motion.
