Powder Drop Jar

A loose powder packaging solution conceived to eliminate mess and improve control when dispensing powder. The jar is designed with a push-button mechanism that, when pressed, releases a measured dose of powder into an integrated bottom well, keeping the product contained and ready for application. The internal spring-driven mechanism delivers controlled doses while maintaining product hygiene and portability, while the jar’s multi-component architecture – engineered for durability, repeatable actuation, and leakage resistance – creates a new user interaction within a traditionally messy category. To use, the jar’s top button is pressed to release a measured dose of powder, which collects in the bottom well. Then, the powder can be applied from the well using a brush or puff. Crafted from PP and PET, the jar has been designed for long-term use.

Product Innovation
Powder Drop Jar redefines loose powder application through a patented-pending push-button dosing system. Unlike traditional sifters or open jars, it dispenses powder into a sealed bottom well, preventing spills and overuse. The internal spring-driven mechanism delivers controlled doses while maintaining product hygiene and portability. Its multi-component architecture—engineered for durability, repeatable actuation, and leakage resistance—creates a new user interaction within a traditionally messy category. This combination of mechanical precision and user-centric design sets Powder Drop Jar apart from standard loose powder packaging on the market.
Claims & Benefits
• Mess-free loose powder dispensing • Controlled, repeatable powder dosage • Reduced product waste • Cleaner application environment • Improved portability for on-the-go use • Enhanced hygiene through contained powder well • One-hand, intuitive push-button operation • Compatible with a wide range of loose powder formulas • Premium, modern user experience
Research, Clinical Tests & Trials Results (Safety & Dermatological)

Powder Drop Jar underwent extensive mechanical, durability, and performance testing to validate safety, reliability, and functionality.

Leakage Resistance:
Filled with 10g powder and subjected to multi-directional shaking, tapping, vibration, and handbag simulation tests; no powder leakage observed.

Durability & Actuation: Push-button mechanism tested for 500+ press cycles, maintaining consistent dosing performance and structural integrity.

Environmental Stress Testing: Samples passed thermal aging and humidity cycling (+50°C / 95% RH and -20°C conditions) with no deformation, discoloration, or functional failure.

All tests confirm the packaging’s suitability for repeated consumer use, transport, and global distribution.

Ingredients List & Formulation (Mandatory, if not specified disqualification from the contest)
The Powder drop Jar is made from a PET jar, with a PET cap and an NBR O-ring, which close tightly during travel. It’s innovative gesture and unique functioning is activated by pushing an PP plug at the base of the PET jar. A valve opens stainless steel spring, and a predetermined quantity of the loose powder falls out.
