One of the most critical parameters of a pump is its dosage.It is usually expressed in cc or ml, which determines how much liquid is dispensed with a single press of the pump head.In Steng packaging, most customers pay a lot of attention to the appearance design of the nozzle, but the appropriate amount of dosage is equally important for the user experience. Choosing the wrong amount of dosage can lead to a poor consumer experience. For example, having to press the nozzle multiple times to get enough liquid, or getting too much liquid with a single press, which causes waste.
Small output: 0.2cc-0.5cc
This amount of output usually comes out of a cream pump or a mist sprayer.
Reason for selection: These products cover a small area with each application, and customers only need a small amount of liquid each time they use them.If a 30ml perfume bottle is paired with a pump that dispenses 4cc per press, the bottle will be empty in less than 10 presses. A 0.2cc pump ensures the product lasts longer and isn’t wasted.

Large output：3cc-4cc
When you use 4cc products, it falls under high-volume pumps, which usually need to be paired with large-capacity bottles (500ML, 750ML, 1L).This amount of output is commonly found in shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.
Reason for selection:These products often require a relatively large amount per use, so pumps with a high output are needed. Additionally, high-viscosity liquids generally flow better through the wide channels of pumps with a high output.

Summary: How to choose?
Usage area: If it is for a small area like the eyes or face, it is recommended to use a product with a smaller dispensing volume.If it is for whole-body use like body wash, or if the amount used at one time is relatively large like shampoo, a product with a larger dispensing volume is recommended.
Bottle size: A pump with a 4cc dispensing volume is suitable for larger bottles (over 500ml), while a pump with a 0.2cc dispensing volume is suitable for small bottles (30ml-50ml).
