Amber Round Sirup Glass Bottle, Silver Aluminium Cap, 250 ml

The 250 ml amber glass medicine bottle with an aluminium cap is a ready-made set for oils, tinctures and hydrosols that are sensitive to light. Amber glass limits the amount of light that reaches the contents, and the closure is included in the pack, so the packaging is ready to fill without looking for a cap separately. A volume of 250 ml suits a larger pack of massage or body oil, a toner that lasts several months, or a stock of raw material that you decant into smaller bottles in your workshop.

Both the bottle and the cap are certified for direct food contact. The set as a whole is therefore approved for homemade oils, syrups, vinegars and herbal infusions. It is also declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products; you will find the declaration of conformity with the product.

What it is suitable for

• Oils, macerated oils and oil blends – glass does not react with vegetable or essential oils, and the amber colour dampens the light that speeds up the ageing of oil.
• Tinctures and alcohol extracts – alcohol does not harm glass, so the bottle is used for herbal tinctures as well as alcohol bases for cosmetics.
• Hydrosols, toners and facial waters – 250 ml is a sensible size for home use. The contents are poured or scooped out of the bottle, as the cap has no dispensing element.
• Food use – flavoured oils, homemade syrups, vinegars or infusions from your garden, where dark glass is just as valued as it is for cosmetics.
• Storage bottle in the workshop – a raw material bought in larger quantities is decanted into the medicine bottle and poured out into smaller packaging for sale as needed.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume is the volume the packaging is designed for in normal filling. The total brimful volume is the physical volume of the bottle up to the neck, and you will find it in the parameters. The difference between the two values is a reserve for the closure and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. Fill to the nominal volume, not to the brim. Oil that warms up in the sun or during transport after filling could overflow from an overfilled bottle when it is opened.

Cap and dispensing

The aluminium cap is tightened by hand. It seals with a foamed polyethylene (EPE) liner that sits on the rim of the neck. After tightening, turn the bottle upside down and check that nothing leaks, especially with thin oils and alcohol-based contents. Keep the thread clean, as oil dried on the neck makes opening difficult and worsens the seal.

The cap closes the contents but does not dispense them. If you need a dropper, a pump or another dispensing option, you will find closures with the same neck type and ready-made combinations in the Handymade range. If you choose your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness, the dispensing and the behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.

Good to know

Glass is heavier and more fragile than plastic, which you need to take into account during transport and when sending finished products to customers. The reward is a material that does not absorb odours and releases nothing into the contents, so after washing the medicine bottle can be reused, even for a different type of content.

An empty bottle belongs in glass recycling, and the aluminium cap is sorted separately with metals.
