Amber Plastic Bottle, 24/410, Black Mat Plastic Cap, 100 ml

An amber plastic bottle with a capacity of 100 ml and a matte black cap makes a ready-to-fill set for liquid and low-viscosity cosmetics. Amber-coloured PET lets through less light than clear plastic, so it is used mainly for vegetable oils, hydrosols and products with ingredients that are harmed by light. The bottle is lightweight and does not break when dropped, which suits the bathroom, travel and sending samples to customers.

The PP cap with a 24/410 neck finish is screwed onto the neck by hand, and once it is unscrewed, the contents are poured straight from the bottle. The matte black finish matches the amber body of the bottle, so the set works as retail packaging without any further accessories. Both components are declared as suitable for contact with cosmetics. The set is not declared for contact with food.

What the set is suitable for

• Hydrosols and facial toners – poured onto a cotton pad or into the palm, while the darker packaging protects the fragrant ingredients from light.
• Face, body and massage oils – light harms vegetable oils, so they are best filled into amber or dark packaging.
• Cleansing oils and micellar waters – thin textures that are easy to pour in small amounts from a 24/410 neck.
• Shampoos and shower gels in travel size – a volume of 100 ml lasts several weeks of use and the bottle does not break when dropped.
• Trial batches and samples – when fine-tuning a recipe, a small volume is used up before any changes in fragrance or colour have time to show.

Thicker creams and balms are hard to dispense from a bottle with a plain cap. A jar or a bottle with a pump is more suitable for them.

Nominal volume and brimful volume

The nominal volume of 100 ml is the amount the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The total brimful volume, given in the parameters, is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference between the two values leaves room for the closure and for the contents to expand with temperature changes. The bottle is filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim. An overfilled bottle overflows when closed, and the cap then sits on a soiled thread, which impairs the seal.

Good to know

• Temperature of the contents – PET does not tolerate heat, so let emulsions and herbal infusions cool to room temperature before filling. Do not leave a filled bottle in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
• Essential oils and solvents – the packaging is not designed for aggressive chemicals. For contents with a high proportion of essential oils or solvents, we recommend first testing on a single piece whether the bottle softens, deforms or absorbs the scent.
• Seal – tighten the cap by hand, without tools. With your own recipe, check the seal on a filled bottle lying on its side, preferably overnight.
• Other closures – closures with the same neck finish and ready-made bottle-plus-closure combinations can be found in the Handymade range. For your own combination, we recommend checking the seal and dispensing with the specific formulation.
• Reuse – after thorough washing and disinfection, the set can be used again. Before the next filling, check the thread of both the bottle and the cap for damage.
• Recycling – the bottle is made of PET, the cap of PP, and both parts go in the plastics recycling. Before discarding, unscrew the cap and rinse the bottle.
