Amber Plastic Bottle, Transparent Flip Top, 300 ml

An amber plastic bottle with a volume of 300 ml and a clear flip top cap make up a ready-made set for filling liquid and gel products that are dispensed by squeezing. The amber colour of the plastic reduces light exposure, and PET is lightweight and unbreakable. When the bottle is gently squeezed, the contents come out directly through the opening in the cap, without unscrewing it. The volume corresponds to the usual pack size of shampoos, shower gels, liquid soaps and conditioners, and the bottle is also used for body lotions and massage oils, where the flip top allows you to dispense a smaller amount at a time.

The bottle and cap as a whole

The cap opens with one finger and clicks back into place when pressed down, which is especially useful in the shower or when working with wet hands. The amount of product is controlled by the squeezing force applied to the bottle: thin liquids flow out almost on their own, while thicker gels and lotions need firmer pressure. The clear cap does not hide the colour of the contents at the neck, and it is easy to check that the outlet opening is clean.

The nominal volume is the amount the bottle is designed to hold when filled normally. The total brimful volume given in the parameters is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference between them serves as a reserve, so that the contents are not pushed out when closing the bottle or squeezing it for the first time. Fill to the nominal volume, not to the brim.

What it is suitable for

• Shampoos and shower gels – rinse-off products with a viscosity that dispenses well by squeezing, and the 300 ml volume corresponds to the usual bathroom pack size.
• Liquid soaps and cleansing gels – thicker formulations need more pressure for dispensing, while with thin ones it is enough to tilt the bottle.
• Body lotions and light emulsions – if the emulsion flows, it can be dispensed by squeezing. Thick creams are difficult to squeeze out through a flip top.
• Massage and body oils – amber plastic reduces light exposure and the flip top allows you to dispense a small amount. For oils, we recommend checking the tightness of the closure during transport.
• Conditioners and hair masks – these need a more fluid consistency that can pass through the outlet opening.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash and disinfect the bottle and the cap and let them dry completely. Residual water in the neck or in the cap can later dilute the product and increase the risk of microbial contamination.

Do not expose the packaging to aggressive chemicals. For products with a high proportion of essential oils, for undiluted essential oils and for formulations with solvents, we recommend checking the behaviour of the plastic with your specific formulation.

The cap has a declaration of suitability for use with cosmetic products. No such declaration is available for the bottle itself, so we recommend checking the behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation. The set does not have a certificate for contact with food.

The bottle and the cap can be reused after washing; it is enough to rinse the outlet opening of the flip top with warm water and dry it. 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 tightness and dispensing with your specific formulation. The bottle is made of PET and the cap of PP; both materials are recyclable, so separate them before disposal.
