<p>A directional dispensing package (1) which is easily shipped, filled and assembled is disclosed. The package includes a retaining opening (11) into which a modular pump (12) is snap-fit by inserting the modular pump (12) through an open end of the package. The package also includes a upstanding wall portion (3), which provides a dispensing actuator locking and sealing mechanism, as well as a tamper-evident tab. The package (1) and pump (12) are assembled at a production site, and are thereafter shipped to a filling site with a bottom portion (17). The package (1) is filled through the open bottom end (16), and then the bottom portion (17) is sealingly affixed to the package (1). The package (1) may include an integrally-molded dip tube structure and a bottom portion with specific structure for allowing easy assembly while preventing leakage. Accordingly, the device of the present invention can be filled and finally assembled with a minimal number of steps, and is therefore particularly suited for quick-turnaround marketing. <IMAGE></p> |
