Amber Plastic Bottle, White Pump, 200 ml

Amber plastic bottle, white plastic pump, 200 ml

The amber PET bottle with a white pump is intended to be filled with liquid cosmetic products that are dispensed in small amounts: liquid soaps, shampoos, shower gels, body lotions, micellar waters and light facial emulsions. The amber plastic filters light, so it protects contents that are sensitive to sunlight, for example products containing plant oils or essential oils. The lightweight plastic bottle is suitable for the bathroom, for travel and for retail.

The set consists of a bottle with a 24/410 neck finish and a plastic pump with the same thread. One press dispenses approximately 1 ml of product, which is enough for a single dose of soap or hand lotion. Both the bottle and the pump are declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products.

What it is suitable for

• Liquid soaps and shower gels – the pump dispenses products of low to medium viscosity without difficulty, and a 1 ml dose corresponds to a normal hand wash.
• Rinse-off shampoos and conditioners – the amber packaging protects dyes and plant ingredients from light, and the pump allows one-handed dispensing, even in the shower.
• Body lotions and light creams – a liquid consistency is required. Thick creams and butters are difficult or impossible to dispense through a pump.
• Toners and micellar waters – water-based products without solid particles, where you want a precise dose without spilling.

Filling and dispensing

The bottle has a nominal volume of 200 ml. This is the volume the packaging is designed for in normal filling. The brimful capacity is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference between the two provides a reserve for the dip tube of the pump, the air above the surface and the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. Fill to the nominal volume, not to the brim, otherwise the contents will overflow when the pump is screwed on.

Before first use, press the pump several times until the tube fills and it starts to dispense. The tube is longer than the bottle, so cut it shorter with a sharp knife so that it reaches just above the bottom. A tube that is too long will bend and reduce the dose, while one that is too short will leave a residue at the bottom.

Good to know

Before first filling, wash the bottle and the pump, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave them to dry completely. It is advisable to rinse the pump with alcohol through the mechanism as well, to remove residual water from the tube.

PET does not tolerate high temperatures. Warm emulsions and soaps should be left to cool to room temperature before filling, otherwise the bottle may deform. For products with a higher proportion of essential oils, alcohol or other solvents, we recommend verifying the behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation. In such an environment the plastic may soften or change colour.

The bottle is made of PET and the pump of PP, so they are separated for recycling. Closures with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations can be found in the Handymade range. When combining items yourself, we recommend verifying the seal, the dispensing and the behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.
