NutraFlapper® Creates Sleek, Easy-to-Use Dispensing Solution for Nutritional Supplements
Nutraceutical packaging doesn’t always deliver a positive consumer experience. Why is that so ironic? Because most consumers are buying the nutritional product to make their lives better and improve their overall health. So shouldn’t the package follow suit? Consumers of all ages should find the overall packaging, including the dispensing cap, easy to handle.
Weatherchem, a creator of innovative caps and closures, couldn’t agree more. To meet this need, the company has developed an exceptional line of closures that are ideal for packaging antacids, vitamins, minerals and supplements. Consider the following real-world application of its NutraFlapper dispensing cap and how it makes the life of the consumer easier—just like the product inside the nutraceutical package:
