    • Which Spray Technology Is Right for Your Brand?

    Bag-On-Valve vs. Aerosol: Understanding Your Options
    Not sure which is right for you? Here’s a simple breakdown of the similarities and differences.

    What’s the Difference Between BOV and Aerosol?

    Spray Technologies Simplified
    Both BOV (Bag-On-Valve) and Aerosol sprays are designed to dispense products efficiently and evenly. However, they use different systems, making each one ideal for specific types of products.
    Simple Explanation:
    • Aerosol: Uses pressurized gas to spray the product in a fine mist or foam.
    • BOV: A bag inside the can keeps the product separate from the propellant, making it cleaner and eco-friendlier.
