Vessl® For You.

Vessl® is a patented closure and delivery device, which provides instant mixing of ingredients immediately prior to use.

The system provides formulators and marketers with a unique opportunity to significantly increase and enhance the functional efficacy, dosing, mixing, and sensory impact of their products.

Your Challenge

Over time, active ingredients may settle, separate, lose their efficacy, and expire. In other cases, products require a complicated mixing process by the consumer, which is often time consuming, prone to error, and messy. Products also rely heavily on single-use plastic which is both costly and unsustainable.

Our Solution

By purging oxygen from headspace and preserving the active content under the pressure of an inert gas such as nitrogen, the Vessl® reduces or prevents degradation and eliminates the need for chemical preservatives in perishable items. The Vessl® technology has also been thoughtfully designed to allow for reusable packaging options, eliminating the need for single-use plastic and shipping water. This precise dosing and instant mixing provided by the Vessl® eliminates complexity and allows for revolutionary packaging systems on the cutting edge of sustainability and preservation.

Opportunity

Potential applications include food, beverages, nutraceuticals, aeration, hygiene, haircare, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and much more.

The Vessl® can be customized to fit any array of base containers in a variety of design and aesthetic options. There is no change in consumer behavior. Upon opening the container, the Vessl® automatically propels and instantly mixes a stream of active ingredients (vitamins, flavors, gases, serums, colors, etc.) into the base, providing an exciting visual display and confirmation to the user that they have activated their product. Reusable options also allow for cost-efficiency for both brands and consumers.

Differentiation

Dosing closures have been attempted before, but without our patented pressurized evacuation they proved inconvenient, inexpensive, and impractical. Consequently, neither companies nor consumers have adopted them. Pressurization and the closure’s instant triggering/mixing mechanism combine to create a paradigm shift for applications and use case. The Vessl® closure is easy to ship and store, extends shelf life, reduces waste, and drives down supply chain and material costs.
