Clear tall plastic bottle, black-gold matte pump dispenser, 100 ml

A plastic pump bottle of 100 ml is a ready-made combination of container and closure for liquid and medium-viscosity cosmetic products dispensed in portions. The transparent PET bottle is lightweight, making it suitable for the bathroom, the shower, and travel. Through the clear wall you can see the product colour and how much remains.

The pump in a matte black-and-gold finish delivers a consistent amount of product with each press. The contents do not come into contact with hands, which is a practical advantage over a jar for products with an aqueous phase. Both the bottle and the pump are declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products. Declarations of conformity are provided for the individual components of the set.

What the set is suitable for

• Rinse-off products – liquid soaps, shower gels, shampoos, and conditioners where one-handed dispensing is convenient.
• Body lotions and light emulsions – liquid to medium-viscosity textures that the pump can draw up.
• Oil-based products – massage, body, and cleansing oils, where the pump reduces spillage and dripping down the bottle.
• Small batches of own production – the 100 ml volume is well suited for testing a new formula or as a travel-size pack.

The set is less suitable for very thick creams, butters, and products with coarser particles, such as scrubs containing salt, sugar, or crushed kernels. The pump cannot draw up thick masses, and particles may clog the mechanism.

Nominal and total volume

Nominal volume is the amount for which the bottle is designed under standard filling. Total volume to the brim is slightly larger — it is the physical capacity up to the neck. The difference serves as a reserve for the pump tube, which displaces some contents when screwed in, and for product expansion with changes in temperature. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim.

Preparation and filling

Before first use, we recommend washing, rinsing, and sanitising the bottle. For the pump, it is sufficient to pump the sanitiser through several times. Allow both parts to dry completely so that no excess water enters the product.

After filling, screw the pump on firmly and prime it with a few presses until it begins to dispense the product. The dose size per press is stated in the pump specifications.

Good to know

• Light protection – the clear material does not protect the contents from light. Products containing sensitive vegetable oils, extracts, or colorants should be stored away from direct sunlight.
• Essential oils and solvents – undiluted essential oils and formulations with a high proportion of solvents are not suitable for a plastic bottle.
• Labelling – bottle dimensions required for label design are listed in the specifications.
• Reuse – the bottle can be reused after thorough washing and sanitising. The pump mechanism is harder to clean; when changing products, flush it with warm water and sanitiser.
• Waste sorting – the bottle is made of PET; the pump combines plastics with aluminium. Separate the pump from the bottle before disposal.

The bottle has a standard neck, the type of which is stated in the specifications. Additional closures with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations are available from Handymade. For custom combinations, we recommend verifying the seal, dispensing performance, and container behaviour with your specific formula.
