Ear Plug Dispenser Bottles are a great way to keep the foam ear plugs you need conveniently at hand. These bottles contain unwrapped foam earplugs, which can be easily and hygenically dispensed right into the palm of your hand. Ideal for industrial work areas and workshops! Since the ear plugs aren't individually wrapped, dispenser bottles reduce waste and save time--no plastic packages to open and throw away. These dispensers can be refilled with refill bottles, boxes or bags of plugs in bulk, making them easy to use, easy to replace, cost-effective, and the
GREEN choice.
There are some important differences in the three systems we carry (Howard Leight, Moldex,
and E-A-R).
Moldex offers only their PlugStation dispensers which you throw away after use. You can refill the plugstations, but it is difficult and generally not worth the trouble. If you want a dispenser with Moldex plugs, though, the PlugStation is your only option, as Moldex does not sell their plugs in bulk any other way.
E-A-R takes a hybrid approach. Here you buy a base that is designed to work only with bottles of plugs that are discarded when empty. The refill bottles are not expensive, and if you want to take the trouble, these can be refilled with your choice of plug, but they have a small mouth making refilling inconvenient. E-A-R also does not sell the plugs in bulk other than in the refill bottles.
Howard Leight is our top recommendation for ear plug
dispensers. Their refill packaging is ideal, and they let you use the dispensers with any plugs you choose, giving you the best overall solution in a dispenser system. all the dispensers work great, though, and the cost at the end of the analysis are not very different, so you cannot go wrong. Dispensers are definitely the way to go.
Howard Leight offers two dispensers: LeightSource400 and 500. LeightSource400 is a light duty plastic wall or table mounted dispenser, which comes with a reusable bottle. This lets you refill from any kind of container, and minimizes waste since all the Howard Leight brand plugs are
also sold in bulk refill bags. (You can also use the LeightSource400 with any other brand of uncorded plugs you choose, as long as you can get them in bulk.) The Leightsource500 is an extreme-duty, metal, wall-mounted dispenser that will last for years under the heaviest usage. This dispenser is designed to be refilled using Howard Leight refill boxes, but by keeping the boxes from
the LeightSource500 refills you buy, you can then refill using any kind of container, giving you maximum flexibility in the plugs you choose to dispense to your workers. It really is in a class by itself.
Advantages to earplug dispensing systems include all the following:
Less trash and packaging, making dispenser plugs the GREEN Choice.
Reduced cost due to reduced packaging.
Reduced cost due to less waste. Employees are less likely to grab a handful and stuff their pockets.
Neater dispensing. A row of dispensers on the wall means no more messy boxes to fall on the floor.
