Functional Design for a Convenient Application Routine
An applicator tube brings the dispensing container and application component together in one package. This format can help simplify the product-use routine by allowing the formula to be dispensed through the tube and applied using the selected applicator.
For a successful packaging project, the tube opening, applicator, cap and formula need to work as a complete system. Brands should assess dispensing consistency, closure fit, formula compatibility and usability through sample testing before confirming mass production.
Development Considerations
-
Applicator selection based on the intended formula
-
Dispensing performance and opening design
-
Cap fit and closure performance
-
Compatibility testing with the final formula
-
User experience and packaging appearance
