Why might you consider using aerosol packaging for your products? Well, there are plenty of benefits that make this type of packaging worth using. 

Ease of use: One of the main selling points for aerosols is the convenience of just aiming and pressing with a single finger.

Safety: Aerosols are hermetically sealed which means there is a less likelihood of breakage, spills and leaks. This also is an effective way to prevent product tampering.

Control: With the push button, the consumer can control how much of the product they want to dispense. This allows for minimal waste and more efficient use.

Recyclable: Like other aluminum packaging, aerosol cans are 100% infinitely recyclable.

Things to Consider with Aerosol Packaging

Depending on the product, it is important to determine the size and basic color of the container. For aluminum aerosol cans, the sizes range from 35mm-76mm in diameter and 70mm-300mm in height. The most common opening on the top of the can is one inch. As far as base coat color options, there are two, white or clear.

Once you determine the size and color coat options, you can determine how you’d like to decorate the can to match your product and brand. The decorating options available include brushed aluminum, metallic, high-gloss, soft-touch as well as embossed and textured designs. The shape is determined by the shoulder style, such as round, oval, flat/conical or soft/bullet.

One of the last things to consider is how much pressure is required for you to disperse the product from the valve. Your product filler or chemist should guide you on the pressure resistance required to ensure your product dispenses correctly.
