Amber Plastic Bottle, 24/410, Black Mat Plastic Cap, 150 ml

This amber plastic bottle with a capacity of 150 ml and a matte black cap is a ready-to-fill set for liquid and slightly thick cosmetics where protection from light and low packaging weight matter. The amber tint of the PET reduces the light reaching the contents, so the bottle is well suited to packaging vegetable and massage oils, hydrosols, toners or shampoos with essential oils. The plastic does not break when dropped, which is useful in the shower, when travelling and when shipping finished products to customers.

The PP cap with a 24/410 neck finish screws onto the neck, and the contents are dispensed by tilting the bottle. The matte black finish gives the packaging a muted, uniform look. The bottle and the cap are declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products, and the declaration of conformity is available with the product. The set as a whole is intended for cosmetics and is not approved for food.

What it is suitable for

• Vegetable, massage and hair oils – light speeds up the oxidation of oils, amber plastic helps to slow it down, and the lightweight bottle is comfortable to hold even with a hand slippery from oil.
• Hydrosols and toners – water-based products with a preservative, which are poured onto a cotton pad or into the palm.
• Shampoos, conditioners and shower gels – 150 ml is a common travel and trial format, and the unbreakable packaging withstands a fall onto a wet floor.
• Body lotions and light emulsions – textures that can still be poured from the bottle.

Thick creams and butters do not belong in a bottle with a narrow neck; jars are better suited to them.

Filling and volume

The nominal volume of 150 ml is the volume the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The brimful capacity listed in the parameters is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference between the two is a reserve for the cap and for the expansion of the contents with changes in temperature. Fill to the nominal volume, not to the brim, otherwise the contents will be pushed into the thread when you screw on the cap and the cap will not seat properly.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle and the cap, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave them to dry completely. Residual water in the neck or thread would get into the product.

PET does not tolerate high temperatures. Emulsions, gels and liquid soaps are poured into the bottle only once they have cooled. Hot filling may deform the wall or change the shape of the neck so that the cap does not seal.

With a high proportion of essential oils, especially citrus ones, or with formulations containing solvents, we recommend testing how the plastic behaves on a single bottle before you fill the whole batch. Common cosmetic concentrations of fragrance in oils, shampoos and toners usually do not harm the plastic.

After thorough washing and drying, the bottle can be used again; for the cap, it is enough to check that the thread is not damaged. Other closures with the same type of neck, which you will find in the Handymade range together with ready-made combinations, also fit the 24/410 neck. For your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness, the dispensing and the behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.

The bottle is made of PET and the cap of PP; before disposal, separate them and put them in plastic recycling.
