The needs of disabled consumers have been given equal priority with those of the customer, to whom the plastics division offers great flexibility in terms of both quantity and decoration.

Chicagobased beauty product company biocare laboratories has reduced pack damage and cut costs by switching to rieke dispensing&rsquos rs3 swan pump for its shea body butter range.

This is the first time of selfventing nondrip dispensing tap has been developed and launched into market. Due to the unique combination of features the receptacle to use with does not need to have a separate vent hole and the tap does not drip. The requirement to use bag inbox systems becomes unnecessary. The valve cleany cuts the product stream at the end of the dispensing tube thus product could not adhere at tube walls and cause dripping. It is a ready to use dispensing tap that could be easily applied with one hand.
