A system is provided for securing together a container (26) having an opening and a finger-operable pump (20). One form of the system includes a mounting flange (42) on the pump (20) and a support structure (48) in the container for receiving the flange (42) in a snap-fit or press-fit engagement. In another form, the pump mounting flange (42B) is heat bonded to the container (26B) with a liner (72B) that includes at least two layers of a heat-weldable plastic (74B) around at least one interposed layer of substantially electrically conductive metal (76B) which can be heated with induction heating. The container (26, 26B) can be threaded (29, 29B), and a threaded collar (22, 22B) can be screwed onto the container (26, 26B). The collar (22, 22B) can have an abutment surface (61, 61B) for facing the pump actuator (26, 26B), and the collar (22, 22B) can be screwed up or down on the container (26, 26B) to establish a selected distance between the collar abutment surface (61, 61B) and the pump actuator (36, 36B) so as to define the stroke length of the pump (20, 20B).
