Large bottle opening needed for assembly line filling
Even weight distribution (no tilting) helps improve grip on undercut
The Solution
A pump-to-dispense option that works with the instability of a shower caddy
Usability & Aesthetics
Large enough bottle opening needed for assembly line filling
Even weight distribution (no tilt) helps improve grip on undercut
Custom Pump for Usability
Larger undercut means higher manufacturing cost for higher ease of use
The Result
The final design is sleek, familiar, with clear labeling, and a grip like undercut
The final design is sleek, intuitive, and familiar
