Before the first filling, we recommend thoroughly rinsing the bottle, then cleaning it with a suitable cleaning agent and finally disinfecting it. For disinfection of the packaging, use an alcohol-based preparation, for example isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. In the Handymade.sk offer you will find, for example, the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol and ethanol 96 % denatured vegetal, which are suitable for disinfecting the clean and dry packaging before filling.

The glass packaging can be used repeatedly if hygienic principles are observed. Before each new filling, the bottle and closure must be thoroughly washed, their mechanical condition checked (no cracks or damaged thread), and then disinfected with a suitable alcohol, for example the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or ethanol 96 % denatured vegetal. Only after the packaging and closure are completely dry is the packaging ready for refilling.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, we recommend recycling it according to the type of material stated in the product parameters. A glass bottle free of product residues and labels can generally be sorted into the container designated for glass in accordance with local waste collection rules. The closure is usually made of a different material than the bottle itself, so separate it before disposal and sort it for recycling according to the material marking. Always adapt the details of the recommended sorting to the material information in the parameter table on the product page on Handymade.sk and to local waste collection rules.

The bottle is particularly suitable for liquid and low-viscosity products, such as facial and body oils, herbal extracts, toners, serums or aromatherapeutic blends. Thanks to the material stability of glass, it is also well suited for formulations containing essential oils or plant extracts that require reliable protection and minimal interaction with the packaging. For very thick or gel-based products, it is advisable to choose a type of closure that allows comfortable application, or consider another type of container.

When selecting a suitable packaging, we recommend using the advanced filter, which you will find at the top of the page after clicking on the relevant packaging material category. In the advanced filter, you can clearly sort the packaging according to parameters such as neck, size, colour or material, and thus quickly narrow down the selection to options that correspond to your formulation and dispensing method. Thanks to the filters, you can easily find compatible bottles, jars, pots as well as suitable closures or pumps for your specific product.
