Bag-on-Valve
A robust, multi-layer laminate bag hermetically seals your product, preserving its purity and potency.
Product
Your perfectly formulated liquid or semisolid, securely contained and held under ever-ready constant pressure, ready for dispensing.
Compressed Gas
Inert gases, such as nitrogen or compressed air, create a powerful yet controlled flow, driving product expulsion with precision and accuracy.
Actuator
A user-friendly actuator design effortlessly activates the valve, delivering a precise and uniform product stream or spray.
Can
An outer metal container encases the system, providing an impenetrable barrier against light, oxygen and external contaminants.
Redefine your product delivery
Experience 360° dispensing freedom while ensuring absolute product integrity through a hermetically sealed, airless design. BoV technology effortlessly handles both liquid and viscous formulations – from delicate serums to thick creams – and is an optimal solution for sterile or oxygen-sensitive products. With >99% evacuation, BoV optimizes product efficacy and reduces waste.
BoV vs Aerosol whitepaper
Learn more about bag-on-valve (BoV) and aerosols and discover the optimal delivery method for your products in our latest whitepaper.
Bag-on-Valve, or BoV, places the formulation inside a flexible multilayer bag within the container while compressed gas outside the bag provides dispensing pressure. This separates the formulation from the compressed gas.
Depending upon the product, advantages can include separation of formulation from the compressed gas, high evacuation, 360-degree dispensing, controlled delivery and protection of certain sensitive formulations.
Can Bag-on-Valve dispense gels or creams?
Yes. BoV can accommodate formulations ranging from lower-viscosity liquids to relatively thick creams and gels when the formulation, valve, bag, actuator and pressure system are properly engineered.
Is Bag-on-Valve the same as an aerosol?
Both are pressurized packages, but they work differently. Traditional aerosols generally place formulation and propellant within the same container environment, while BoV isolates the formulation inside a flexible bag and uses compressed gas outside the bag to dispense it.
Can Bag-on-Valve provide 360-degree dispensing?
Yes. Properly designed BoV systems can operate at multiple orientations, including 360-degree dispensing.
Is Bag-on-Valve useful for oxygen-sensitive formulations?
It can be useful because the product is contained within a sealed bag and is not repeatedly exposed to outside air during normal dispensing. Suitability should be established for the specific formulation and package.
Is bag-on-valve packaging suitable for every formulation?
No. Suitability depends on the formulation and dispensing requirements. Products containing suspended particles or products with high viscosity may require particular evaluation for consistent dispensing.
Can bag-on-valve packaging help protect an oxygen-sensitive product?
It may be an option because the product is separated from the propellant. Suitability depends on the formulation, package materials, and stability data for the complete container-closure system.
