Aluminium bottle, 24/410, 50 ml

Aluminium bottle 24/410, 50 ml

A lightweight and unbreakable aluminium bottle with a 24/410 neck thread that provides complete light protection for the contents. Ideal for products sensitive to light: facial and body oils, serum oil blends, massage oils, liquid soaps or tonics in travel size. Thanks to its low weight and shatter resistance, it is also suitable for travel packaging, samples and products sold by mail order.

Why choose an aluminium bottle

• Complete light protection – the metal wall lets through no light at all, extending the stability of oils, essential oils, vitamins and light-sensitive pigments. Unlike amber or blue glass, which only reduces light, aluminium blocks it entirely.
• Unbreakable and lightweight – the bottle will not crack on impact and saves considerable package weight compared to glass, which matters both for postage and travel.
• Silver metallic appearance – the matte-shiny unprinted surface leaves room for a custom label or a minimalist design with no additional decoration.
• Standard 24/410 neck – one of the most widely used threads in cosmetic packaging, so the choice of closure is not limited to a single type.
• Recyclable material – aluminium is among the most recyclable packaging materials; once emptied and rinsed, it is sorted with metals.

Filling and volume

Nominal volume is the volume for which the bottle is designed under normal filling conditions. The total brim-full volume is greater – it represents the physical capacity up to the neck (the exact figure is in the specifications). The difference between the two values provides a reserve for a closure, pump or sprayer that extends into the bottle, and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. Fill to the nominal volume, not to the brim – overfilling risks leakage once the closure is tightened and poorer sealing.

Choosing a closure

The bottle has a 24/410 neck thread. Closures with the same thread type and ready-made bottle + closure combinations are available in the Handymade range. With a custom combination, we recommend verifying the seal, dosing accuracy and packaging behaviour with the specific formulation in advance – particularly with pumps and sprayers, where the tube length relative to bottle height matters.

Good to know

Compatibility with contents. Aluminium is a metal, so it is advisable to verify how the specific formulation behaves in the container. Safe choices include anhydrous products (oils, oil serums, massage and body oils) and standard cosmetic preparations with a neutral to mildly acidic pH. With strongly acidic or alkaline contents, salt solutions and products with a high water content, carry out a stability test in a filled bottle and monitor changes in colour, scent and appearance of both the contents and the internal surface.

Suitability for cosmetics. The packaging is suitable for use with cosmetic products and meets the applicable regulatory requirements; the declaration of conformity is available with the product. The bottle is not declared for food contact.

Preparation before the first fill. Rinse the bottle, disinfect with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave to dry completely upside down. For aluminium, avoid aggressive cleaning agents and abrasive tools that could damage the inner surface.

Deformation. The thin metal wall is sturdy, but can dent under strong pressure or if the bottle falls on an edge. A dented bottle remains functional, but significant damage to the neck may compromise the seal.

Labelling. The smooth cylindrical body takes self-adhesive labels well. The metal surface also works well with transparent labels that allow the silver colour to show through.
