Amber Plastic Bottle, White Disc Top, 100 ml

The amber PET bottle with a volume of 100 ml and a white disc top cap is a ready-made set for filling with liquid and medium-thick cosmetic products. Amber plastic filters light, so it protects light-sensitive ingredients such as vegetable oils, vitamins or plant extracts. PET is lightweight and does not break when dropped, which suits products for the shower, for travel or for sending to customers. The cap is opened and closed by pressing the disc with one finger, so you can handle the bottle comfortably even with a wet hand.

A volume of 100 ml corresponds to the usual size of a body lotion, hair conditioner or massage oil intended for several weeks of use, or to a travel-size shower gel and shampoo.

The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products; you will find the declaration of conformity with the product. It is not intended for food.

What it is suitable for

The disc top dispenses the contents when you squeeze or tilt the bottle. It therefore works best with products that flow, but stay in the opening until you press the bottle:

• Body lotions and light emulsions – you control the amount dispensed by pressure on the bottle walls.
• Shower gels, shampoos and conditioners – after use, the opening is closed by pressing the disc, so the bottle stays closed in the shower and water cannot get to the contents.
• Liquid soaps and cleansing gels – nothing needs to be unscrewed when dispensing.
• Massage and body oils – the amber bottle also limits the access of light to the oil.

Thick creams and body butters will not flow through the small opening of the disc, so a jar or a bottle with a wider neck is more suitable for them. Thin water-based products, such as toners, flow out in larger amounts than you need when tilted. For these, a different type of closure with the same 24/410 neck finish is suitable; you will find the selection in the Handymade range.

Volume and filling

The nominal volume of 100 ml is the volume the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The brimful capacity, given in the parameters, is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference is a reserve for the cap and for the expansion of the contents with temperature changes. Fill the bottle to the nominal volume, not to the brim. An overfilled bottle pushes the contents into the opening of the disc after closing, and on the first press more product than you want squirts out.

Good to know

• Preparation before first filling – rinse the bottle and the cap, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and let them dry completely. Residual water in the neck dilutes the first dispensed amount of the product.
• Heat – PET is filled only after the contents have cooled. A warm gel or emulsion can deform the walls, and the disc top then does not seat tightly. Finish the emulsion, let it cool while stirring and only then pour it into the bottle.
• Product composition – PET tolerates both water-based and oil-based formulations. Pure essential oils, recipes with a high proportion of them or with solvents, and aggressive chemicals do not belong in plastic; choose glass for these. We recommend testing compatibility with your specific formulation on one bottle before filling larger quantities.
• Reuse – after washing and disinfection, the bottle and the cap can be filled again. A small space with product residue remains under the disc, so rinse it in the open position when washing.
• Your own combination – other closures from the Handymade range also fit the 24/410 neck finish. When replacing the supplied disc top with another closure, check the tightness and dispensing with your formulation.
• Recycling – the bottle is made of PET and the cap of PP; after emptying, separate them and dispose of them with plastics.
