It’s a known fact that the packaging industry is a highly competitive one. Your products have to not only “do what they say on the tin” but look good too. And this includes the trigger sprayer if it is a component of your packaging.

Bottles aren’t the only thing that consumers place high importance on. They also look at the closures and trigger sprayers. Studies have shown a strong link between the performance of the trigger sprayer and the overall performance of the product itself. And like caps and closures, the trigger sprayer is most often the part that can cause customer dissatisfaction when they fail to work properly.

Trigger Sprayer Uses

Depending on your product’s application, there is a trigger sprayer that will suit the job. Trigger spray bottles are used across a number of different industries, including the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, household products, animal care and health, automotive, industrial, cleaning products, livestock, and horticultural markets. They come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes, depending on the type of product, and are even available in ergonomic shapes.

The purpose of a trigger sprayer is to make the dispensing of your drugs and other liquid products easier for patients because of their targeted or diffuse spray functions. The unique part of trigger sprayers is that they can be attached to a variety of plastic bottles. They also have different sized holes and closures that enable liquids of multiple viscosities to be easily sprayed.

With this wide variety of sprayers, you can produce mists, sprays, or streams of liquids depending on the specific need. What is also helpful is the fact that you can control the settings through the use of the closure, so any dispensing of the liquid is easily done because of the tight seal with the bottle.

Types of Trigger Sprayers

There are a number of trigger sprayers available for any size and shape of bottle. And you don’t have to settle for a plain looking trigger sprayer. They can actually be customized. So you can get trigger sprayers in a number of shapes, sizes, colors, and designs to make your products really stand out.

You can also take advantage of specialized types of trigger sprayers. These include:

  • child resistant trigger sprayers
  • foaming trigger sprayers
  • screw-on trigger sprayers
  • snap-on trigger sprayers
  • sterilized trigger sprayers

For example, if you have products that are used for hospital cleaning, this will call for a specialized type of sprayer. This is already a highly regulated area and one that requires the ability to kill all bacteria. Because of this, the liquid contained in the bottle and its trigger sprayer has be sterilized with gamma radiation.

  • Adjustable nozzles

Finding just the right trigger sprayer for your product can be challenging. The best way to approach this is to locate a consultant who can advise you on the right sprayer for your bottles.
