Wall Dispenser or Pump Bottle: Which Hand Sanitiser Option Works Best in NZ Offices?

In NZ offices, hand sanitiser is a key part of workplace hygiene, but should you opt for wall-mounted dispensers or pump bottles? Each option offers unique benefits and challenges, and your decision will depend on office size, layout, and usage habits. This blog compares both options and offers placement recommendations to maximise hygiene.

Wall Dispensers – Fixed, Professional Hygiene Stations

Wall-mounted dispensers are a permanent hygiene solution that works well in high-traffic and shared spaces.

Pros

• Saves counter and desk space

• Reduces touchpoints with touch-free models

• Always in the same spot for consistent access

• Can hold larger refill volumes

Cons

• Requires installation

• Less flexible if office layout changes

Best For: Entrances, hallways, breakrooms, and outside meeting rooms where many people pass through daily.

Insinc Products Recommendation: Our Touch-Free Wall-Mounted Dispensers work with both alcohol-based and alcohol-free sanitisers for versatile workplace hygiene.

Pump Bottles – Portable and Flexible

Pump bottles are a simple, cost-effective option for desks, counters, and smaller meeting areas.

Pros

• Easy to move and relocate

• No installation required

• Available in various sizes for personal or shared use

Cons

• Can be misplaced or moved unintentionally

• Smaller bottles require more frequent refills

Best For: Individual desks, reception counters, and meeting tables where people need quick, convenient access.

Insinc Products Recommendation: Our Alcohol Gel Pump Bottles deliver fast germ protection with added moisturisers, perfect for frequent daily use.

Placement Recommendations

To maximise hygiene, use a combination of wall dispensers and pump bottles in strategic spots:

• Wall Dispensers: Install at building entrances, outside restrooms, near kitchens, and in high-traffic corridors.

• Pump Bottles: Place on reception desks, meeting tables, staff workstations, and communal break areas.

• Ensure all sanitising stations are visible, accessible, and refilled regularly.

Conclusion

In most NZ offices, the best approach is to combine both wall dispensers and pump bottles. Wall-mounted units provide fixed, high-capacity hygiene stations in busy areas, while pump bottles offer flexibility and personal access. Insinc Products supplies both options, ensuring your workplace remains safe, compliant, and ready for any hygiene challenge.
