Amber Plastic Bottle, Black Plastic Cap, 18/410, 115 ml

An amber plastic medicine bottle with a volume of 115 ml, supplied as a set with a black screw cap, is used for filling and storing liquid cosmetic products that are dispensed by pouring out or by pouring into the palm. The amber PET dims light, so it protects contents that are sensitive to sunlight, for example vegetable oils, oil blends or toners with plant extracts. The plastic is light and does not break when dropped, which you will appreciate when producing for sale, when posting products and with small bottles that are carried in a bag.

The cap is plain, without a dispensing opening. The contents are poured directly from the neck, which suits products where a larger amount is measured out at once: massage oil, hair oil, facial toner, make-up remover water or base oil prepared for further production. The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetics. The certificate for direct contact with food applies to the bottle alone; the cap does not have it, so the set as a whole is intended for cosmetic products.

What it is suitable for

• Oils and oil blends – amber plastic limits the access of light, which accelerates yellowing and changes in the smell of oils; the 115 ml volume corresponds to a common pack of massage or body oil.
• Toners and facial waters – water-based products without a pump, applied to a cotton pad or into the palm.
• Hair oils and treatments – pouring from the neck allows a larger dose to be measured out for the lengths of the hair.
• Intermediate products in production – storing macerated oils, oil extracts or a weighed-out oil phase before further processing, where the dark packaging protects the contents between individual batches.
• Samples and short runs – lightweight packaging lowers delivery costs and does not break in transport.

Filling and 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 is a reserve for the cap and for the expansion of the contents with temperature changes, for example during transport in summer. The bottle is therefore filled to the nominal volume and the space above it is left free.

Good to know

The cap is made of PP and has an EPE sealing liner, which is pressed against the neck when tightened and seals the joint. Tighten it by hand until you feel resistance. Over-tightening deforms the liner and the seal becomes worse. For products intended for posting, we recommend turning a bottle filled with the actual formulation upside down and leaving it to stand for several hours to check the seal in advance.

Do not expose the packaging to aggressive chemicals. For products with a high proportion of essential oils, fragrance compositions or solvents, we recommend testing how the packaging behaves with the specific formulation on one bottle and monitoring the appearance of the plastic and the fragrance of the contents regularly.

The bottle has a neck with the thread stated in the parameters. Closures with the same neck type and ready-made bottle and closure combinations can be found in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, check the seal and dispensing with the specific formulation.

The packaging can be reused. Between fills, wash it, disinfect it and dry it thoroughly, including the inside of the cap and the sealing liner, where residues of oil remain. The PET bottle and the PP cap belong in separate plastic waste collection.
