GOLD: The attached scrapper tool on Doumar Products' Un-Du adhesive remover functions as a delivery method as well as a tool for lifting an item after the lubrication is applied. Injection-molded onto the shoulders of the polyvinyl chloride bottle from Berlin Packaging (call (312) 876-9692 or mark Item #509), the patented tool prevents consumers from mining their finger nails and eliminates the need for sharp scraping devices. A dropper tip controls the flow of the product as it slide down the tool.

SILVER: Venting system for Chemical Dynamics' Shultz plant food is achieved by drilling a hole in the closure and applying a small membrane liner to the cap; this allows gasses to escape without compromising the integrity of the seal. The brightly colored handled bottles from TricorBraun (call (310) 320-4911 or mark Item #510) captures consumer attention and helps differentiate the products from others in the line--as well as from competitors.
