We’ve been talking a lot lately about how important it is to select the right Pipette Dispensing System to enhance your customers’ experience. If your product is in liquid form and you need to provide control and consistency, it’s extremely likely that you are going to turn to a Dropper Pipette for dispensing your product.
But once you have decided to use a pipette system to dispense your product, you need to make sure you combine the right components to avoid any leaks, breakage, damage, or lost inventory. To help our customers, we created post addressing how to choose the right material for your components, like whether to choose a glass or plastic pipette. We also shared how a knowledgeable, experienced supplier can help guide you and provide value in so many ways.
To help our customers further, we created a checklist of the important questions you need to ask to hone in on the right Dropper Pipette Dispensing System. Spending 15 minutes in this upfront assessment can save you hours and even days identifying the correct packaging. If you still aren’t sure which dispensing components to buy after you have gone through the questions, just give our Solution Specialists a call. They are knowledgeable and experienced and will get you to the ideal solution quickly.
To help you think through how to choose the right dispensing system for your product, we have collected a list of questions to guide you in your decision. The questions fall into four categories – Function, Price, Availability, and Quality.
Function
The first factor to consider revolves around how you need your dispensing system to function. For example, how much liquid does the dropper need to hold? Is accurate dosage essential? For a refresh on the three components of a dispensing system – caps, bulbs, and pipettes – read this.
Price
Price is another important consideration when deciding on the right pipette dispensing system. When evaluating your options, don’t forget to take into consideration the Total Cost of Ownership for your system. Meaning, some individual items may appear to be less expensive from other vendors but depending on the supplier, you need to factor in overseas shipping costs, long lead times, inventory holding costs, and exchange rates. The end cost could be higher than you think.
Availability
To be able to get your product on the shelf or to the distributor/retailer when THEY need it, you need to work with a supplier that can get you packaging when YOU need it. If your company relies on a huge fourth quarter from Holiday or year end sales, you don’t want to miss out on sales opportunities because you didn’t have pipettes, caps, or bulbs. Especially with the global shipping challenges going on this year, one of the first questions you should ask is how quickly you can get the product. Are any components made in the USA, giving you faster delivery times and more reliable shipping estimates?
Quality
How important is the quality of your packaging components? Everyone wants quality products but, in many cases, higher quality product cost more. If cost is a factor, it might be helpful to determine the minimum acceptable quality level needed for your product.
We hope these questions help you make the right decision for your dropper pipette dispensing system. Feel free to download these questions in our handy checklist.
