The packaging can be used repeatedly, provided that you follow basic hygiene rules and monitor its overall condition (especially the sealing and the dispensing insert). Before each new filling, the bottle, closure and dispenser must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. For disinfection, we recommend using a suitable alcohol-based preparation, for example IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or ethanol 96 % denatured, plant-based. After disinfection, let all parts dry completely and only then refill the packaging.

The plastic pharmaceutical bottle is not intended to be exposed to high temperatures or to thermal processing. During prolonged exposure to higher temperatures, the shape of the packaging may deform, the function of the dispensing insert may deteriorate and the sealing may be weakened. The packaging is not suitable for dishwashing in a dishwasher or for boiling. For cleaning, we recommend gentle hand-washing with lukewarm water and a mild cleaning agent, possibly followed by disinfection with a suitable alcohol according to the type of formulation being filled.

For even dosing of oil, we recommend holding the bottle in a vertical or slightly inclined position and working with it smoothly, without sudden squeezing or shaking. More viscous oils may flow more slowly, so it is advisable to perform a short dosing test at first use and, if necessary, slightly adjust the tilt of the bottle. For very thin formulations, dose more slowly to prevent excessive flow and to keep the dispensing under control.

If you decide not to use the packaging any further, we recommend that after emptying and basic cleaning you place it in sorted waste according to the type of plastic material specified in the product parameters. Usually this means putting it into the plastics container, and it is advisable to separate the bottle, closure and any dispensing insert if they are made of different materials. The recycling marking (symbol and material abbreviation) can be found either on the bottom of the packaging or in the parameter table on the product page. Observing local waste sorting rules helps ensure that the material is processed in the appropriate recycling stream.

The simplest way to choose a suitable bottle or pharmaceutical bottle is to use the advanced filter in the relevant category on Handymade. After clicking on the packaging category, the advanced filter is located at the top of the page and allows you to quickly narrow down the offer according to several criteria. You can filter by neck type, desired size, colour and packaging material. By combining these parameters, you will choose packaging that corresponds to your specific formulation as well as to your idea of the design of the final product.
