The trend for natural cosmetic products has resulted in increased demand for airless packaging. The solutions are available for formulations of high viscosities and the skin care industry is drawing on the expertise of the food and pharmaceutical industries. In addition, airless packaging must continue to evolve aesthetically and maximize appeal with new design and decoration options. 

However, most airless packaging, are quite small in capacity due to technical limitations related to filling and dispensing pressures. Sunrise Pumps has released its new AJ series of airless bottles, providing companies a great "King Size" airless option. The straight, elegant new airless bottles are available in sizes of 200ml, 250ml, and 300ml. The dispensed dose is also slightly larger, a perfect 0.65cc, rather than the standard 0.5cc squirt. It is available in two different dispenser pumps.

The bottles are marketed as viable replacements for standard screw-top jars in a variety of markets, including masstige personal care items, food condiments, nutraceuticals, and more. The bottles and pumps require a simple pump action to dispense the product, rather than having to fiddle about with opening a lid and sticking one's hands into the product reservoir.

Made of highly compatible and recyclable food-grade PP, the bottles can't become contaminated as air or bacteria on fingertips never come in contact with the product until it's dispensed. Further, following good design practices, the pumps feature an isolated spring mechanism that's outside the evacuation tube, meaning the metal of the spring can't rust and come into contact with the product, eliminating discolouring. Products enjoy a longer shelf life pre- and post-sale with no preservatives required.

The bottle creates ongoing challenges for the packaging industry in order to ensure that these products can be packed safely, conveniently and attractively.
