Amber Plastic Bottle, Black Spray, 10 ml

What the set is suitable for

The amber PET pharmaceutical bottle with a black fine mist sprayer is a ready-made packaging solution for a small amount of liquid product that is applied by spraying. The 10 ml volume is enough for a travel pack, a customer sample or first trial batches where you do not want to mix a large quantity. Amber plastic reduces light, so sun-sensitive contents stay stable for longer than in a clear bottle.

A sprayer is meant for thin, watery or alcohol-based contents: face and body mists, toners, hydrolates, eau de parfum and fragrance samples, textile fresheners or hand disinfection sprays. The nozzle will not spray thick serums, gels and pure oils evenly. For those, choose a dropper or a pump instead.

Key features

• Protection from light – the amber colour of the plastic limits the amount of light reaching the contents, which suits hydrolates, perfumes with natural essential oils and extracts.
• Lightweight, unbreakable plastic – PET withstands drops and being carried in a bag, so the set works as a travel pack or a sample for mailing.
• Sprayer included in the price – there is no need to buy a closure separately; once filled and screwed on, the set is ready to use.
• Fine dose – the sprayer releases a small amount with each press, suitable for refreshing the skin or applying a toner without dripping.

Filling and volume

The nominal volume is the amount the bottle is intended for under normal filling. The total volume up to the neck is larger, but this difference serves as a reserve for the sprayer dip tube and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. For this reason, fill up to the nominal volume, not to the brim. If you fill up to the neck, the tube pushes part of the liquid out and the sprayer may not seal.

With a small neck, filling is easier with a funnel or a needle-free syringe. Pour in the contents cooled to room temperature, as warm solutions can deform the plastic.

Good to know

For the sprayer to work properly, the contents need a low viscosity. If the mist turns into a jet or the nozzle stops dispensing after a few presses, the contents are too thick or contain particles that clog the nozzle. For this reason, filter extracts and hydrolates before filling.

PET is stable with common water-based and alcohol-based products. For contents with a high proportion of essential oils or for solvents, we recommend checking the behaviour of the packaging on a test sample, as aggressive chemicals can damage the plastic. Do not fill the set with hot contents and do not store it near a heat source.

The bottle has a declaration of suitability for use with cosmetic products and, separately, a certificate for direct contact with food. No such declaration is available for the black sprayer. Suitability for contact with cosmetics and food therefore applies only to the bottle, not to the set as a whole.

Once empty, the set can be washed and used again; it is enough to rinse the sprayer with alcohol. At the end of its life, the PET bottle belongs in sorted plastic waste. You can find closures with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations in the Handymade range. For your own combination, we recommend checking the seal and dispensing with the specific contents.
