Clear tall plastic bottle, black flip top, 100 ml

A clear, tall plastic bottle with a black flip top cap is a ready-to-use set for liquid and semi-thick cosmetic products dispensed by tilting or squeezing the bottle. The PET bottle is lightweight and shatter-resistant, making it suitable for the bathroom, shower, and travel. Through the transparent wall you can see the colour of the product and how much is left.

The flip top cap opens with one hand and stays on the bottle, so it cannot be misplaced during use. The 100 ml capacity is practical for smaller batches and trial runs of a new formulation.

What the set is suitable for

• Shampoos, shower gels and liquid soaps – products used with wet hands; after dispensing, the cap simply snaps shut.
• Body lotions and lighter emulsions – must be fluid enough to flow towards the neck. Thick creams and butters are better suited to a jar.
• Conditioners and more fluid hair masks – squeezing the bottle gives good dose control even with a thicker consistency.
• Body and massage oils – the opening in the cap releases oil in a thin stream, preventing it from spreading across the palm.
• Travel sizes and samples – lightweight plastic with no risk of breakage and a smaller volume for testing the product.

How the flip top dispenses

The cap has a small dispensing opening sealed by a flip lid. Thin, water-based liquids flow through it quickly when the bottle is tilted. Gels and emulsions require squeezing the bottle. Very thick products are difficult to dispense through the opening and the last residue tends to remain on the walls.

Nominal and total volume

Nominal volume is the amount the bottle is designed to hold during normal filling. Total brimful volume is the physical capacity up to the neck and is slightly larger. The difference serves as headspace for the cap and for expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim, otherwise the product may leak after the cap is closed or when heated. When filling by weight, account for the density of the product. Exact values are in the specifications.

What is worth knowing

Preparation before first filling. Wash both the bottle and the cap with lukewarm water and a cleaning agent, then rinse thoroughly. Afterwards disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave them to dry completely. Water residue inside the bottle increases the risk of microbial contamination of the product.

Light and contents. The transparent wall does not protect the contents from light. Store light-sensitive products away from direct sunlight or consider a coloured packaging for them.

Material resistance. Undiluted essential oils, high proportions of fragrance ingredients and strong solvents may degrade the plastic over time. We recommend verifying the behaviour of a specific formulation by a trial fill over several weeks.

Intended use and closures. The set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products; the declaration of conformity is included with the product. Closures with the same neck type (stated in the specifications) and further ready-made combinations are available in the Handymade range. For a custom combination, we recommend verifying the seal and dispensing with your specific formulation. Dimensions needed for label design are in the specifications.
