Clear Plastic Bottle, Golden Disc Top, 100 ml

The clear plastic bottle, 100 ml, with a gold disc top cap is cosmetic packaging for products dispensed by squeezing the bottle. These include shower gels, shampoos, conditioners, body lotions, liquid soaps, cleansing gels and massage oils. The 100 ml volume fits in a handbag as well as in hand luggage, so it suits travel-size packs and samples.

The bottle is made of PET: it is lightweight, does not break when dropped, and the clear material lets you see the colour and consistency of the contents. The cap combines PP and aluminium and is gold with a clear centre, through which the dispensing opening is visible. The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products; it is not intended for food.

How the set works

The disc top opens by pressing one side of the disc; the other side lifts and uncovers the dispensing opening. You dispense the contents by squeezing the walls of the bottle and control the amount with the force of the squeeze. To close it, press the disc back down until it is flat. You can dispense with one hand, which is useful in the shower or when your hands are wet.

Gels, lotions and liquid soaps of medium thickness dispense best. Very thin water-based solutions run out of the open disc even without pressure, so the dose is harder to control. Thick creams, on the other hand, are difficult to squeeze out of the bottle and some stays on the walls. With oils, bear in mind that a drop may remain on the disc after closing, which you need to wipe off.

Volume and filling

The nominal volume is the amount the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The total volume to the brim is the physical volume up to the neck and you can find it in the parameters. The difference is a reserve for the cap and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes or the bottle is squeezed.

Good to know

• Preparation before first filling – wash the bottle and the cap, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave them to dry completely.
• Heat – PET does not tolerate hot filling. Let emulsions, gels and infusions cool to room temperature before filling, otherwise the bottle may deform.
• Light – the clear material does not protect the contents from light.
• Essential oils and solvents – if the contents have a higher proportion of essential oils, alcohol or solvents, check in advance how PET behaves with the specific formulation.
• Reuse – after washing and disinfecting, you can refill the bottle and reuse the cap. Before each new filling, check that the disc holds firmly and seals.
• Other closures – the bottle has a 24/410 neck finish. You can find closures with the same neck finish and ready-made combinations in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, check the seal and dispensing with your specific formulation.
• Recycling – the bottle is made of PET and the cap of PP and aluminium, so separate them before disposal.
