  • Patent number: 5186359
    Abstract: There is disclosed a method and apparatus for dispensing bulk hair products. The method includes providing sources of hair products and flexible thermoplastic bags having integrally associated press taps for filling with the hair products. The charged bags are then hermetically sealed by any known method. In this way, a variety of hair products, particularly those susceptible to damage by exposure to air can be stored and dispensed into resealable containers. The bags are conveniently contained within a specifically designed carton formed from a blank. The carton includes a rectangular box having a partition therein and perforated areas adapted to receive the dispensing spout of the sealed bags. The carton further provides a storage area within the carton for storage of the resealable containers, gloves and other necessary supplies.
