Abstract: A process for the manufacture of dispensing apparatus includes moulding a first component including a tubular outlet and moulding a second component about the first component. The first component is moulded in a first material and the second component is moulded in a second material, where the first material comprises a less rigid material than the second material. The first component is moulded with the tubular outlet in an open configuration and the moulding of the second component compresses the tubular outlet to a closed configuration. The tubular outlet is elastically deformable, by the application of pressure to the tubular outlet, from the closed configuration to the open configuration.
