In conjunction with Procter & Gamble, Pharmavite LLC, a California-based
vitamin manufacturer launched the OLAY® Vitamins dietary supplement line
utilizing Weatherchem’s NutraFlapper® closures.According to Barbara Linquist, Senior Product Manager OLAY Vitamins,
“scientific research shows a link between nutritional intake and skin health.
OLAY Vitamins combine OLAY’s skincare expertise and Pharmavite’s knowledge
of women’s healthcare and nutritional needs to deliver a line of vitamins that
supports both internal health and external beauty.”
When creating the OLAY package, Pharmavite focused on providing both
convenience and value to their customers. Dan Murphy, Manager of Packaging
Development states, “the NutraFlapper® closure allows Pharmavite to offer its
consumers a simple, easy-to-use dispensing solution for tablets and soft gels”.
“We discovered through consumer testing that 88% of consumers found the flip
top cap easy to use and dispense from,” said Barbara Lindquist.
Pharmavite chose the NutraFlapper closure to enhance OLAY and Pharmavite’s
brand building program. Murphy goes on to say, “using the gold cap on OLAY
Vitamins provides a link to OLAY skin care. Weatherchem was highly
instrumental in bringing to the line a custom, easy-to-peel innerseal with the
printed OLAY name, further enhancing the OLAY brand image. NutraFlappers
used for Nature Made® brand has its logo embossed on the top of the closure.
That and the custom Nature Made logo on the innerseal strengthen the quality
perception of the brand.” According to Murphy, another benefit is that
“Pharmavite experienced minimal interruption to its manufacturing process when
the company switched from a non-dispensing closure to the NutraFlapper”.
In addition, Pharmavite’s experience with Weatherchem has been very positive.
Murphy states, “Weatherchem is a reliable supplier that provides a superior
product and backs it up with service and quick response to issues.”
