GE Caulk Singles are replacing squeeze tubes and caulk guns for convenient, on-the-go application.

Huntersville, NC-based Momentive Performance Materials' GE Caulk Singles is a single-use disposable package of caulk. It reinvents the caulking experience for the consumer by eliminating the need for either a caulk gun or a squeeze tube.

Caulk Singles dispense easily with one hand, require no tools, and leave essentially no waste in the package.

The product's 1.25-oz packaging, created by Ideo, uses geometric bellows and other hidden mechanisms. Benefits of the packaging include:

An appropriate size for most common caulking jobs.
Small enough to store in small spaces, such as kitchen drawers.
Makes it easier to dispense the caulk with one hand.
Eliminates or reduces unnecessary waste by evenly dispensing the caulk from the back to the front of the package.
Helps create an even, neat bead of caulk despite changes in pressure, minimizing the cleanup and dry time.
Suggested retail price is $1.99 to $2.99 per pack.
