💡 What actually works:
Tell us your target fill volume and formula viscosity before ordering samples. We will adjust wand length, wiper hardness, and cap torque to match your specific product. This way the sample you test is close to what you will get in mass production.
📋 How sample ordering works here:
1. Tell us your fill volume & viscosity
2. We pick the right tube + wand + cap
3. Ship via DHL/FedEx (3-5 days)
4. You test with your formula
5. Feedback → adjust → bulk order
