A different delivery system

Delivery active ingredients.
Add the water at home.

Many ready-to-use cleaning products contain a significant amount of water. That water is mixed into the product at the factory, packed into a bottle and transported through the supply chain.

Refill pods take a different approach. A measured amount of concentrated formulation is enclosed in water-soluble film. The user adds it to a suitable reusable container and prepares the solution when needed.

This format can help brands reduce the volume of finished product they transport and create refill systems designed around reusable containers.

01 / DROP

Place the pod

Put the refill pod into a suitable empty bottle or container.

02 / ADD WATER

Follow the dosage

Add the specified amount of water according to the product instructions.

03 / PREPARE

Refill and use

Allow the pod to dissolve and mix as directed before use.

Ways to work together

From your idea to a refill business.

Choose the starting point that fits your product, organization and long-term goals.

01 / LAUNCH

Private Label & OEM

Build your own refill product line with existing product concepts and project-specific branding and packaging support.

• Available product concepts and samples

• Branding and packaging requirements

• Fragrance and colour options

• Commercial and order planning

02 / CREATE

Custom Development

Develop a differentiated refill pod around the application, performance target and user experience you have in mind.

• Formulation and dosage design

• Film and formulation compatibility

• Pod structure and chamber configuration

• Prototypes and feasibility assessment

03 / PRODUCE

Manufacturing Solutions

For manufacturers looking to establish or expand production, we help evaluate the complete manufacturing system.

• Equipment and mould selection

• Film, process and raw-material evaluation

• Production planning and quality control

• Training and technical transfer

The principle behind the format / ACDS

Designed around the active ingredients.

A cleaning product is more than its bottle or physical form. Its purpose is to deliver the ingredients needed for a specific task under the right conditions.

We describe this approach as an Active Content Delivery System (ACDS). We start with the required function, then consider how ingredients can be selected, concentrated, protected, measured and delivered to the point of use. Water-soluble refill pods are one way to put this principle into practice.

Pre-measured

A defined amount of concentrated formulation in each dose.

Flexible formats

Liquid, powder or combinations, depending on compatibility.

Separation

Multi-chamber designs can keep selected ingredients apart until use.

Manufacturable

Product design considered alongside dosing, film and sealing.

Applications

One delivery platform.Multiple opportunities.

Every application begins with a different functional need. Feasibility depends on formulation, stability, film compatibility and the intended user experience.

01 / SURFACES

Hard surface cleaning

Multi-surface, kitchen, bathroom and glass cleaner concepts for reusable bottles and other containers.

02 / FLOORS

Floor care

Explore direct-use pods, larger-volume concentrates and formulations for suitable floor-cleaning machines.

03 / DISHES

Dishwashing

Develop dishwashing liquid concentrates or foaming sprays around the target dispensing system.

04 / HANDS

Hand soap

Foaming or gel-type refill concepts, subject to product safety, preservation and market requirements.

05 / LAUNDRY

Laundry liquid refill

Develop concentrates with the desired dosage, washing performance, mixing behaviour and final viscosity.

06 / BEYOND

Other applications

Evaluate opportunities in vehicle care, professional cleaning and other categories on a project basis.

Formats & structures

Different ingredients.Different possibilities.

Pod format is selected around the chemistry and application—not the other way around.

Liquid

Concentrated liquid formulations for ingredients that can be combined in a compatible liquid system. Development considers concentration, stability, film compatibility and dilution.

Powder

Pre-measured powder formulations for ingredients better delivered as dry materials. Flow, moisture sensitivity, dosing and dissolution are key considerations.

Powder + liquid

Separate chambers can combine different physical forms in one dose and keep selected ingredients apart. Each combination requires compatibility and stability evaluation.

From chemistry to production

A refill pod is a complete engineered system.

The formulation, film, pod structure, process and end-use instructions must work together. We consider the connections from the beginning.

01. Formulation

Select and combine ingredients for the application, concentration and target performance.

02. Water-soluble film

Evaluate film properties, dissolution and compatibility with the formulation.

03. Pod design

Define dosage, size, shape and chamber configuration.

04. Manufacturing

Assess forming, dosing, sealing, cutting, handling and packaging.

05. Product performance

Evaluate the prepared product against agreed performance and user requirements.

06. Quality & stability

Define appropriate checks for seals, leakage and storage stability.

The development journey

From idea to refill product.

Every project is different. We build the next steps around your requirements.

01

Define the project

Share the application, target market, customer and intended scale.

02

Select a route

Assess an existing product concept or a custom development project.

03

Evaluate samples

Prepare and review samples within the agreed project scope.

04

Confirm requirements

Review product, packaging, documentation and manufacturing needs.

05

Move toward production

Plan private-label production or a manufacturing implementation.

One Good examples of Refill Pods

The Daily Routine Co In Australia

So here’s the thing… Plastic was designed to be used over and over again, but sadly most plastic is only used once, and then thrown away causing all kinds of problems for our health and environment. The solution is simply Refills.

100% certified bio degredable products

Delivery the active content not the water

Less package More Help.

Client review

Our Customers are saying lots of Thing about us

These clients are willing to help this planet gets better. But other ECO products are not working good and more expensive. If you think about the regular "eco" which is wrong to ask the eco people to pay more.

“Love this idea. A sturdy bottle that you keep and dissolving soap packets. The essential oils make the final product perfect. Less plastic, less freight and clean hands. Even has a travel lock on the bottle to stop leaks in the caravan. Love it ❤️.”

“Recently did my first reorder of refills but this time bought the Essentials oils to add, Lavender + Patchouli, Lemon + Mint both are equally as nice as each other, such lovely fragrances!!

Also my Granddaughter loves washing her hands with the foaming nice smelling froth!.”

“I'm thrilled with my purchase! It's always a gamble trying something new but I can honestly say I love this product...the pods dissolve super quickly and the foam is creamy and hydrating. Doesn't leave me with dry hands. I'm using the hand soap in my new laundry....and added bonus....the packaging matches my new tiles perfectly!.”

“I love this product! The massive size of the bottle, the massive reduction in plastic waste and my hands are clean and soft. Thankyou, I'll be ordering again.❤️.”

Why Unimasses

One perspective, from product to production.

Product and manufacturing knowledge together

We consider formulation, film, pod design and production as parts of the same system.

Flexible development routes

Start with an existing product concept, develop a custom pod or explore your own manufacturing capability.

Experience across unit dose formats

Our work brings together water-soluble pod development and manufacturing technology.

Focus on practical implementation

We consider how a product can be made, packed, transported and used—not only how it performs in the laboratory.
