James Alexander Introduces
Large Surface Area
Swab Applicator
James Alexander Corporation has introduced a large
surface area applicator tip for the company’s Plastic Ampoule,
according to the firm’s President and CEO, Francesca Fazzolari. “Over
the years, we’ve
had a number of customers request an applicator tip that has a
larger surface area than our standard package. Since the Plastic
Ampoule is offered in both 2 and 5 ml sizes, a larger surface area
tip makes perfect sense for a number of applications where liquid-based
products will be applied to a large surface area.” The newly
designed tip is part of our ongoing efforts to develop second generation
packaging that offers our customers more options for their packaging
solutions,” Fazzolari said.
“The large surface area
tip is a molded plastic component with a specially designed foam
applicator adhered to the plastic. We have the capability of
offering a variety of different type of foams, depending on the
composition of our customer's formula and the nature of the application.
Many of the foam tips can also be offered in different configurations
for specific applications.”
James Alexander Corporation’s patented Plastic
Ampoule (U.S. patent numbers 6,379,069, 6,641,319 and 6,869,242)
allows the user to activate the package with a gentle squeeze
of one hand, rupturing the patented internal membrane. Another
gentle squeeze then dispenses the contents onto the applicator
tip. The rate and flow of the product is easily controlled by
the user.
“The large surface area tip version of our
Plastic Ampoule swab is ideal for large volume topical applications
in a variety of markets, including cosmetic and personal care,
health and beauty aids, pharmaceuticals, toiletries and spa products,” Fazzolari
went on to say. “This
version is also ideal for industrial applications of lubricants,
solvents, and cleaning agents.”
James Alexander Corporation’s standard applicator
tips include a cylindrical tip with a centered hole for enhanced
product flow, tapered tips for precise topical applications,
and a series of brush applicator tips made in a variety of materials
and styles. The Plastic Ampoule can also be decorated in any
Pantone Matching System® (PMS) color, and
the company has three color print capability.
