Spray bottles are lightweight dispensers that convert liquid into a stream or mist of varying spray volumes to suit specific applications. They typically feature a trigger sprayer, an adjustable nozzle, and a dip tube.
The nozzle is often overlooked but can make or break the consumer experience. The nozzle can be adjusted to dispense as a stream, mist, or foam.
Material
Spray bottles convert liquid products into a fine mist, stream, or jet of varying spray volume for specific applications. They can be made of glass or plastic and packaged in various liquid solutions, from cleaning products to lawn chemicals.
A key consideration is the sprayer material to be used – particularly for chemically or acidic liquids. Look for a sprayer that is resistant to corrosion and made of durable, high-quality polymer.
The dip tube is another essential feature to consider, and depending on the bottle size, you will need to tailor its length accordingly. It must be long enough to draw the product from the bottle but not so long that it falls into the cap and leaks. The nozzle should also be robust, and you will want to offer consumers the option to choose a spray, stream, or mist flow.
Size
Spray bottles are lightweight dispensers actuated by hand that convert liquid products into streams, jets, or mists of varying volumes. They’re used for various applications, including cleaning products, beauty, gardening and lawn care, and personal care. Choose a bottle with a neck finish compatible with your product and a trigger sprayer whose size is appropriate for the product you’re packaging. Many of the top spray bottle suppliers include a range of sizes and finishes for your needs. Some plastic trigger sprayers can be recycled and incorporated with post-consumer recycled (PCR) content to support sustainable packaging initiatives. Child-resistant solutions are also available to suit a wide range of bottle types and neck fittings.
For example, a sprayers for bottles Minneapolis can be fitted with a child-resistant catch and lever that ensures a spray-only closure.
Cap
A patented sprayer head, the SDS combines a bottle design with a unique trigger system. This complete seal prevents air from returning, ensuring that your liquid sprays every time. It is also certified as sterile and resistant to contamination using a combination of vacuum, nutrient broth, and particle tests.
Plenty of neck finishes and cap options are available, whether you’re packaging cleaning products or lawn pesticides. A ratchet finish can provide an extra layer of security, while a view strip or graduations may be added to improve product visibility.
Nozzle
Nozzles are mechanical devices that control the characteristics of a fluid flow as it leaves (or enters) an enclosed chamber or pipe. They typically work by converting the pressure energy of a flowing medium into kinetic energy, increasing its velocity.
The nozzle’s material can significantly affect its lifespan and performance. For example, tungsten carbide fares well against waterjet pressures and is recommended for high-duty usage. The nozzle’s diameter is also critical. Small nozzles create a fine jet with neat cut edges and surface finishes. Large nozzles produce a wide jet that cools the workpiece and is helpful for engraving applications. Eductor nozzles keep suspensions evenly mixed and prevent sediment or build-up. They can be easily cleaned and do not clog. They are often used for introducing new liquids and substances into existing tanks.
