A pharmaceutical company faced an urgent packaging challenge after their existing bottle supplier ceased operations.
They needed new 20 mL and 30 mL bottles suitable for two different nasal sprays, and fully compatible with an existing APTAR spray pump system.
The requirements were demanding:
- Tight dimensional tolerances to ensure a perfect fit between the bottle neck and the pump thread
- Precise internal depth to match the dip tube length
- Full compliance with U.S. regulatory standards, using FDA-grade materials
Time was also a critical factor — the customer required a rapid transition to avoid supply disruption.
The Solution
LOG Pharma’s R&D and engineering teams quickly took on the challenge. We developed two custom HDPE bottle formats — 20 mL and 30 mL — designed to precisely match the customer’s pump systems.
To meet the tight timeline, we accelerated the mold design and manufacturing process, while maintaining full quality assurance at each stage.
The Process
- Rapid design of bottle geometry based on APTAR specifications
- Precision tooling to meet strict tolerances
- Material selection aligned with regulatory expectations for U.S. distribution
- Close collaboration with the customer throughout development
The Result
The bottles met the required tolerances levels, ensuring compatibility with the existing pumps.
The solution allowed the customer to maintain continuity of supply and product quality without changing their existing pump supplier or packaging process.
