Easy-to-hold hair spray container gives better dispensing control

Food & Drug Packaging, Dec, 2002

Conair and Sally Beauty--the world's largest professional beauty supply company--is adding Ion Color Solutions Defense[TM] Extra Control Shaping Hair Spray to its existing line of hair care products formulated for color-treated hair. The product has launched in CCL's Comfort Hold[TM] aluminum canister--an ergonomic, environmentally friendly, high-performance package.

A visually pleasing package, the 9.5-ounce canister is tapered and rounded at the shoulder for easy grip and better dispensing control--two crucial keys for Sally's customer base. The seamless construction canister is decorated with a soft-white pearlized base coat with matte over-varnish and overprinted with purple lettering and gray graphics.

The canister starts out at a 53-mm diameter and tapers up to a 45-mm diameter, allowing for a more economical 45-mm cap. The neck cap snaps onto an outward curl at the shoulder. Even with its unique profile, the canister can be produced on a standard manufacturing line without incurring any additional cost.

According to Tony D'Ascenzo, director of business development for Conair, "CCL's Comfort Hold can has a unique and upscale appearance with its svelte silhouette because of its rounded shoulders."
