Abstract
Ways for controlling a level of a product in a container are provided that include engaging an exterior surface of the container containing the product at a first product level. A force is applied to the exterior surface of the container to cause the container to change from a first volume to a second volume. Cessation of the force results in the container containing the product at a second product level. The second product level can provide an accurate and reproducible final product level in the container.
