A refillable container including: an outer container having an opening formed on top thereof; a cover configured to close the opening of the outer container; an inner container configured to store liquid and accommodated in the outer container; and a dispense pump provided on the cover and configured to pump the liquid content in the inner container and dispense the liquid content outside of the refillable container under a state in which the suction tube is stuck into a suction port of the inner container. The suction tube of the pump is inserted into the inner container when the opening of the outer container is closed by a cover. The cover includes a tubular wall portion fitted to an outer periphery of the outer container, and a distal end of the suction tube is positioned within an open end of the tubular wall portion.

A system for dispensing material contained in a collapsible package from a dispensing device. The system includes a piercing nozzle attachable to a dispensing end of the dispensing device, and a plunger attachable to a plunger rod of the dispensing device configured to compress the package against the piercing nozzle. The piercing nozzle includes a nozzle sidewall and a nozzle end wall defining an internal nozzle cavity configured to receive a first end of the package. One or more recessed members extend into the internal nozzle cavity in part from a recessed member. The piercing projection pierce the package when compressed thereagainst, allowing the material in the package to be dispensed through a nozzle opening. An internal nozzle rib can extend across a nozzle opening defined through the nozzle end wall.

A cartridge system for delivering an aqueous solution, which consists of a mixture of an active material with a liquid medium, including a bottle-shaped container, fastened to the neck of which there is a pump, where the container is fillable with the liquid medium, and the container includes a cartridge, an intake tube of a pump sealingly inserted in an upper side of the cartridge, wherein the active material is fillable into the cartridge through the intake tube, the cartridge is sealed from an exterior by at least one piston or stopper, the at least one piston or stopper being movably arranged in a wall of the cartridge and configured to enter into an interior of the cartridge under reduced pressure produced by the pump and opens to the exterior of the cartridge so that the active material is mixable with the liquid medium.
