Tapemark Expands its Snap Product Family
(West St. Paul, MN – January 21, 2008) - Tapemark is pleased to announce the newest members of its Snap!® Product Family. Now available are the Snapplicator™ which adds a convenient applicator for "no-touch" dispensing, Snap!® Array, Snap!® Duet, and the innovative Snap!® Dual Chamber.
All Snap!® formats dispense a pre-measured amount of a lotion, gel, or ointment via an easy to open, single-use package. The convenience and portability of Snap! is ideal for Rx and OTC drugs, cosmetics and foods, and any other products where on-the-go access and/or precise dosing are key. Snap! accommodates fill volumes ranging from .5 to 5 ml. and all manufacturing is done in a cGMP compliant environment.
Snap! Array offers a convenient way to carry multiple pre-measured doses, appropriate for any multi-dose regimen. The user simply separates Snap! Array at the perforation before using each individual Snap!
Snap! Duet contains two different lotions or gels, each in an individual Snap but packaged side-by-side as a duet. Snap! Duet is appropriate for any two-step application whether used sequentially in a two-step process, or used hours apart such as day time and night time treatments. Because your products are packaged and sold as one, only one co-pay may be required.
Snap! Dual Chamber is ideal for two-formula applications where the formulas must remain separate until use - for example, when unintended formula interaction could diminish efficacy. Snap! Dual Chamber has a hard seal in the center, keeping the two formulas safely separated, side by side. When you snap it open, the contents are dispensed simultaneously and mix during application.
Tapemark's Snapplicator™ includes an applicator for "no touch" convenience, keeping hands clean while spreading your ointment or lotion where needed. The Flat Snapplicator™ has an applicator fully adhered to the Snap!; the Pop-up Snapplicator™ has an applicator that pops up three-dimensionally from the Snap!. Unopened, either Snapplicator lies flat for ease of packaging.
"We are thrilled to announce new innovations in our ever-expanding Snap! product family. With Snap!, our customers have a new look for their branded products, and can consider unique product extensions to meet customer demand for single-use convenience. It's an exciting packaging concept that we're delighted to bring to market," noted Julie Karlson, Marketing Manager.
