What is Airless Pak mono?
A flexible refill pouch and an airless dispenser, working as one system.
Airless Pak mono is a refillable airless packaging system for cosmetic and skincare brands, by BOTTLESS. It pairs a reusable airless pump with an airless refill pouch: the dispenser stays in use; only the lightweight pouch that holds the formula is replaced. As product is dispensed, the pouch is designed to collapse rather than draw in outside air, helping minimize the product left behind.

PPWR readiness
A strong choice for your PPWR packaging transition.
The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) pushes packaging toward less material, more reuse and refill, recyclable design and recycled content. Airless Pak mono brings these design choices into one airless system.
| PPWR direction | How Airless Pak mono supports it |
|---|---|
| Minimize packaging weight and volume | A lightweight pouch is replaced instead of a complete dispenser. |
| Promote reuse and refill | The dispenser stays in use; only the pouch is swapped. |
| Design for recyclability | PE-based laminate (93.15 wt% PE) with its functional layers documented. |
| Increase recycled content | PCR material can be incorporated, defined per project. |

FAQ
Questions about Airless Pak mono?
Quick answers for brand, R&D and packaging teams.
What is Airless Pak mono?
Airless Pak mono is BOTTLESS’s refillable airless packaging system. It combines a reusable dispenser with a lightweight, flexible refill pouch that holds the formula. “Mono” refers to its PE-based pouch structure.
How is Airless Pak mono different from a pour-in refill pouch?
Airless Pak mono works as the replaceable pouch inside a refillable airless system. Instead of pouring product into another bottle, the user keeps the dispenser and swaps the pouch. The pouch and the dispensing interface are designed to work together as one system.
Do I replace the pump with every refill?
No. The dispenser is designed to be reused while the refill pouch is replaced. Handling and replacement instructions are defined for each configuration.
Which sizes are available?
Airless Pak mono is offered in formats from 30 ml to 300 ml. Smaller formats suit serums and treatments, mid-size formats suit lotions, creams and sunscreens, and larger formats suit body care, hair care and other liquid personal care. Contact BOTTLESS to confirm the configuration for your project.
Which formulas can be considered?
Serums, lotions, gels, creams and selected sunscreen formulations are good starting points, along with selected personal care liquids in larger formats. Each application starts with a review of the formula, dispensing requirements and packaging configuration.
Why is Airless Pak mono a strong choice for brands preparing for the PPWR era?
It brings several relevant design choices together: a lightweight replacement pouch, a dispenser designed for reuse, a documented PE-based laminate and options to incorporate PCR material. Brands can evaluate these alongside airless dispensing and formula compatibility in one packaging project.
Can we request samples?
Yes. Share your product category, preferred format and evaluation goals so BOTTLESS can scope the right sample request.
What does a PoC involve?
A proof of concept defines the target formula and configuration, evaluates filling and dispensing, checks compatibility against agreed performance criteria and identifies the steps needed for commercial launch.
