Amber Plastic Bottle, 115 ml, 400 pcs

This amber plastic medicine bottle with a volume of 115 ml protects liquid preparations from light. The dark PET tint dampens the light reaching the contents, so it is suitable for tinctures, facial oils, toners and herbal extracts that would lose colour or potency in the light. PET is lightweight and does not break when dropped, which you will appreciate when shipping products to customers and when working in the workshop.

The bottle is suitable for use with cosmetic products and is also certified for direct food contact, so it can be used in the kitchen as well. The carton contains 400 pcs, a quantity for producers who fill regular batches, supply shops or prepare larger amounts for markets and workshops.

Typical uses

• Toners and facial waters – with a fine mist sprayer or a cap, it makes lightweight packaging for everyday use.
• Facial and massage oils – the dark material slows the effect of light on delicate vegetable oils.
• Tinctures and alcohol extracts – the 115 ml volume is a common size for home production and for sale.
• Liquid soaps and cleansing gels – with a pump, the bottle dispenses conveniently in the bathroom.
• Food use – flavoured oils, syrups, vinegars, homemade dressings and extracts for the kitchen.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume of 115 ml is the amount the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The physical volume up to the neck is larger. The difference provides a reserve for the closure, the dropper or the pump tube, and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. For this reason, fill the bottle to the nominal volume, not to the brim. If it were filled to the neck, the contents would be pushed out when the closure is screwed on, or the bottle would bulge when warmed.

Closures

The bottle has a standard neck with a thread, the type of which you will find in the product parameters. Closures with the same neck type and ready-made bottle + closure combinations are available in the Handymade range. If you assemble your own set, we recommend checking the tightness and dispensing with your specific formulation, especially with thin or alcohol-based contents.

Good to know

Before filling the bottles for the first time, rinse them, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and let them dry completely. Traces of water in the neck would dilute the contents and, in anhydrous products, may cause cloudiness.

Pure essential oils and concentrated solvents may damage the plastic or make it turn dull during prolonged contact. Finished products with the usual proportion of essential oils in a carrier usually cause no problems. With undiluted oils and strong solvents, we recommend testing compatibility beforehand on one bottle. With alcohol tinctures, pay particular attention to the tightness of the closure, as alcohol evaporates through a leaking joint.

After thorough washing and disinfection, the bottles can be reused, provided they are not scratched or deformed. An empty bottle belongs in plastic recycling as PET.
