Push&Dose

Product

This is Push&Dose.

A patent-protected dosing feature for flexible pouches, for perfect sprinkling of dry powders and granules: spice mixes, sugar sprinkles, nutrition products and any other food or non-food product meant to be sprinkled.

01

Tuned membrane

Produced with a variety of hole sizes, in numbers from one to a “thousand”, to exactly fit your product. The elastic membrane is tested for at least 300 open/close cycles.

02

Snap-closure

A smart opening mechanism that closes the pouch after every use.

03

Internal gasket

Seals the opening when the top snaps shut between doses.

How it works

Bend to open. Press & sprinkle. Snap to close.

  1. Step 1

    Bend to open

    Tear off the top strip the first time. Then bend the top and it springs open into a lens, with the membrane ready.

  2. Step 2

    Press & sprinkle

    Tip the pouch opening-down and press lightly. The product falls through the membrane, the same dose every time.

  3. Step 3

    Snap to close

    Bend the top back and it snaps shut, ready for the next dose.

On your line

Delivered on reels. Inserted like a zip-lock.

Push&Dose comes as a continuous string on reels of 6 000 units. On a horizontal form-fill-seal machine it is inserted almost the same way as a zip-lock, so you keep your existing line and your existing film.
