October 2014 Spray 25 sophistication. The advent of 3D printers is set to open new horizons in tailor-made perfume packaging. Scent individualization Mouse Trap Design, LLC (MTD) designed, developed, and patented MixByMe Technology, a multi-chambered, dispensing device that enables a precise and high level of liquid product customization and personalization for customizable fragrance, color cosmetics and skin care treatments. The dispenser can be adapted to accommodate up to five chambers, and customized blends can either be sprayed, dripped or poured. According to the company, MixByMe is the first fragrance and personal care dispenser that lets the consumer custom blend ingredients. The patented palmsized dispenser allows consumers to select, mix, blend and dispense the perfect amount of each liquid they want to mix together, each and every time. The Pittsburgh, PA-based company was founded by Melanie Werner in 2011 to research and develop innovative packaging solutions targeted to product customization and personalization for virtually any liquid product or brand of various viscosities. In addition to the fragrance, skin care and cosmetic industries, MTD is exploring uses for MixByMe Technology in the spirits and home scenting industries, as well as commercial and industrial uses for the technology. It was the winner of the 2014 DATA Award Sponsored by Pittsburgh Tech Council & Carnegie Mellon University, and was acknowledged as an Emerging Growth Company by Pepper-Hamilton Law. Different dispenser models are available for licensing and private label partnership, with customizable exterior packaging possible for any brand or trade. Future plans for MixByMe include a product line of customizable cosmetics and skin care products. MixByMe Technology personifies a consumer-centric fragrance brand and allows consumers to create their own fragrance story. Ultra-customization, as seen in both personalized fragrances and fragrance packaging, is an emerging consumer trend influenced by a strong societal trend of social networking and the “selfie” phenomenon.
