WDL01
Lotion pump
Measured dispensing for lotions and fluid creams.
Verify: Output, priming, lock and formula viscosity.View modelDISPENSING SYSTEMS / BUYER GUIDE
Pump, cap & bottle solutions
A bottle becomes a usable pack only when the closure, formula and filling process work together. Compare dispenser routes, then approve the exact assembled set.
01 / START WITH THE FILL
What does the package need to do?
The first selection is functional. Capture how the formula should leave the pack, how much is dispensed, and how the customer will hold and store it.
FORMULA
What is inside?
State product type, viscosity, key ingredients, target fill and any sensitivity your team must evaluate.
USE
How is it applied?
Specify dose, spray or foam behavior, lock or travel needs and the use position.
PRODUCTION
How will it be filled?
Share filling conditions, assembly steps, packing format and the markets where it will ship.
02 / DISPENSER ROUTES
Compare the function before the silhouette
These WDPACK catalogue examples show different packaging formats. A pictured component is a starting point for discussion, not a promise of interchangeability.
WDF001
Foaming pump
A foamed dose when the formula and pump are designed together.
Verify: Foam quality, output and repeat pumping.View model
WDA01
Airless actuator
A controlled pump system with an airless bottle construction.
Verify: Priming, evacuation, output and assembly.View model
WDHE02
Closure or dispensing cap
A simpler access route for suitable wash-care formats.
Verify: Seal, opening force and use orientation.View model03 / COMPATIBILITY CHECK
A matching thread is only the beginning
The neck, pump and bottle must work as one assembly. Do not infer fit from a catalogue photo or a common-looking neck code.
DecisionInformation to sendPhysical confirmation
Formula & viscosityIdentify whether the fill is a thin liquid, lotion, gel, oil or foaming formula.Fill a representative sample and check flow, output and residue.
Neck & threadRequest the actual finish drawing and the specified mating closure.Check thread engagement, torque and seal on assembled parts.
Dose & useSet the target output and whether the pack must lock, spray, foam or dispense upside down.Cycle the sample in its intended use position.
Material contactName all wetted components, including dip tube, gasket, valve and spring location.Run formula compatibility and aging work under your own product protocol.
Filling & transportShare fill temperature, filling line, carton and destination requirements.Check fillability, leakage and pack-out with a production-relevant sample.
Standard neck codes describe only part of an interface. The actual pump, gasket, dip tube, liner and bottle tolerances still need approval as a set.
04 / THREE APPLICATION BRIEFS
Use the same selection method for different products
These are illustrative buyer briefs anchored to WDPACK catalogue models, not tested combination claims.
01 / Daily lotion
Bottle + lotion pump
Start with output and hand feel. Check the actuator, dip tube length and closure seal against the final fill.
Examine WDL01
02 / Foaming cleanser
Bottle + foaming pump
Treat the foam as a formula-and-dispenser result. Agree foam quality and dose before approving appearance.
Examine WDF001
03 / Serum or treatment
Airless pack + actuator
Compare priming, evacuation and dose. Confirm the chosen airless construction with the intended formula.
Examine WDA0105 / BUILD A PRODUCT LINE
One visual family still needs individual proof
A cleanser, serum and lotion may share colors and brand rules while using different dispensing systems.
01
Keep the brand constant
Set logo position, naming hierarchy, body-color direction and a common approach to graphics.
02
Let function vary
Choose each pump or closure for its own formula and use case. Do not assume one accessory works across all capacities.
03
Approve the line together
Compare shelf presence as a set, then test each assembled pack separately for dispensing and seal.
06 / QUOTATION LOGIC
Review sampling and MOQ What changes the price of a complete pack?
Compare like for like: the same model, capacity, component set, finish, quantity and delivery basis.
01Body and tool route
Using an existing model differs from changing the neck or creating a new shape.
02Dispensing components
Pump construction, output, lock, cap and any special material requirements affect the set.
03Appearance and assembly
Body color, print, surface finish, manual assembly and packing add process steps.
04Order and proof scope
Quantity, sample rounds, tests, inspection and shipping terms should appear on the quote.
07 / SAMPLE LADDER
Ask for the right sample at the right time
A plain model can establish shape. An assembled and filled pack is needed for functional decisions.
- 01Output: candidate SKU
Model shortlist
Compare capacity, body shape, neck, actuator size and basic handling.
- 02Output: specified parts
Assembled component sample
Check seating, thread, pump action, cap retention and the physical appearance of the set.
- 03Output: test record
Filled functional evaluation
Test with the intended formula and agreed conditions for output, leakage, compatibility and use.
- 04Output: approved reference
Decorated approval sample
Sign off artwork, color, finish and packing before bulk production.
08 / RELEASE CRITERIA
Write acceptance points beside the sample
A visually correct bottle can still fail in use. Make the functional and appearance checks explicit before releasing an order.
- Named SKU, capacity and complete bill of components
- Neck fit, seal, torque and leakage conditions
- Priming, output, spray or foam quality as applicable
- Formula-contact and aging protocol owned by the brand
- Artwork, color, surface and packing reference
09 / ORDER HANDOFF
Send one brief that can be quoted and sampled
Attach the exact product requirement to the selected model so sourcing and production discuss the same pack.
PRODUCT
Formula type, viscosity, fill volume and target market.
PACK
Preferred SKU, bottle image, pump or cap action and any size constraints.
BRAND
Artwork, color reference, finish and expected quantity.
PROOF
Requested sample type, test needs and target launch date.
10 / BUYER QUESTIONS
Resolve these before choosing a closure
The final answer depends on the exact bottle and formula.
Can any pump be fitted to a bottle with the same neck code?
No. Thread designation alone does not establish seal, dip tube length, torque or functional compatibility. Request the approved component set and test an assembled sample.
Can WDPACK suggest a pump for my formula?
Send the formula type, viscosity, target output and intended use. The team can review suitable catalogue routes; the final choice needs physical evaluation with your product.
Can a lotion pump be changed to a mist sprayer later?
That depends on the actual neck, bottle construction and available accessories. Treat the alternate set as a separate configuration to sample and approve.
When should we approve printing and color?
After a working bottle and dispenser route is selected. Approve decoration on the actual assembled model before bulk production.
What should a quotation identify?
The exact body, pump or cap, capacity, materials, finish, quantity, packing, sample scope and delivery terms.
YOUR NEXT STEP
Bring the formula and the bottle reference.
WDPACK can review a practical component route and the samples needed to prove it.
