Do you know the theme song of the orifice reducer? I bet that if you have a daughter under the age of 10, you know it and have heard it a million times. Here it is:

Let it flow,
Let it flow,
No soaked salad anymore¦

Hmm, not quite the words you're used to, right? Let's look at how an orifice reducer can save your salads from becoming dressing with a little salad on top.

First of all, you need to imagine a salad. A luscious, robust green salad packed full of spinach, lettuce, carrots, peppers, croutons, and other delectable treats. The only thing missing is your choice of dressing. You grab your bottle of dressing, excited to delve into your meal. But then you make the mistake of squeezing that bottle. Suddenly your beautiful salad is drowned in dressing. The lettuce is floating, the carrots are sunk, and the croutons are soggy. You have more dressing than salad! You look at your bottle and realize the problem: this bottle has no way to limit the flow of dressing. What you need is an orifice reducer.

What is an orifice reducer?

What does an orifice reducer do? It is a plug that fits into a bottle opening and slows the flow out of said bottle. Orifice reducers are perfect for sauces, dressings, oils, and other liquid products for which you want a slow, controlled flow. At Container & Packaging Supply, there are several different varieties of orifice reducers. You can choose from drop tip (both controlled and uncontrolled), snap on shaker fitments, or plain old orifice reducers. Browse through the catalog to find the perfect reducer for your needs.

Now that you know all about orifice reducers, you can sing the theme song to your heart's content. Go ahead, I dare you.

Let it flow,
Let it flow,
No soaked salad anymore,
Let it flow,
Let it flow,
Turn the lid and let it pour.
Dressing drips
On your salad tray.
No more over-pours!
It tastes better that way.
