Cleaner Dispensing: Aptar’s Valve vs. Traditional Baffle
Aptar’s flow control valves were developed to deliver clean product dispensing throughout the package’s life. To highlight its value in terms of cleanliness, hygiene, and consumer experience, we completed a side-by-side dispense test between the valve and a traditional baffled orifice with ketchup.
A photo was taken after each squeeze until the package was empty. The image below shows the result after thirty-three consecutive product evacuations were made, indicating that the Aptar valve provides a cleaner product cut-off while the traditional baffle option often results in a “product tail” accumulating on the closure lid over time.

30+ Years Delivering Superior Flow Control
Aptar works directly with customers to help select the optimal valve size and slit configuration for their products, testing the package before it is released to store shelves to ensure the best possible performance. Managing both the diameter of the valve and the slit configuration enables us to dial in on the most desired dispensing performance while maximizing leakage resistance for each individual product type. The Aptar manufacturing process enables considerable flexibility for controlling both.
