Clear tall plastic bottle, clear flip top, 100 ml

Plastic bottle with flip-top cap with a volume of 100 ml is a ready-to-use set for liquid and semi-liquid cosmetic products dispensed in smaller amounts: shampoos, shower gels, liquid soaps, body lotions or facial tonics. The bottle and cap share the same neck type, so the closure does not need to be selected separately.

The bottle is made of clear PET, a lightweight plastic suitable for the bathroom, shower and travel. Through the transparent wall you can see the colour of the product and how much remains. The flip top cap opens with one hand by flipping the lid, which stays attached to the closure and cannot be lost.

Which products is the set suitable for

The dispensing opening in the cap determines which consistencies work well with the bottle. Products that flow on their own or can be squeezed out with gentle pressure on the bottle pass through it most easily.

• Shampoos, shower gels and liquid soaps – the opening dispenses a smaller amount at a time and the bottle can be operated with a wet hand.
• Body and facial lotions, light emulsions – thinner emulsions flow smoothly, thicker ones need to be squeezed out by pressing the bottle.
• Tonics, micellar waters and hydrolats – water-based products are dispensed by tilting the bottle directly onto a cotton pad.
• Body, massage and cleansing oils – the small opening prevents dispensing too much at once.
• Travel sizes and samples – the smaller volume and lightweight material are suited for decanting from larger containers for travel.

The set is not suitable for thick creams, butters or balms. They will not pass through the narrow opening and cannot be retrieved from a tall bottle. A jar is more practical for these.

Nominal and total volume

Nominal volume is the amount the bottle is designed for during standard filling. Total volume is the physical volume up to the top of the neck and is slightly larger. The difference between them serves as a reserve for the closure and for expansion of the contents when the temperature changes.

Good to know

Preparation before first filling. It is recommended to wash the bottle and cap with lukewarm water and detergent, rinse, disinfect with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and allow to dry completely. Water residues in the packaging unnecessarily burden the preservation of the product.

Heat sensitivity. PET deforms at higher temperatures, so the bottle should not be boiled or sterilised with hot air.

Compatibility with contents. Both PET and PP are compatible with standard water-based, surfactant, emulsion and oil cosmetic products. With a high proportion of essential oils or strong solvents, a test sample is recommended: fill the packaging and leave it for several weeks, checking whether the plastic becomes cloudy, softens or whether the cap stops sealing.

Light. The clear material does not protect the contents from light, which should be taken into account for light-sensitive products.

Label. The tall bottle provides sufficient surface area for a label. The dimensions needed for its design are listed in the parameters of the individual components of the set.

Contact with cosmetics. The bottle and cap are declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products. The set is intended for cosmetics, not for food.

Other closures. Closures with the same neck type (specified in the parameters) and further ready-made combinations are available in the Handymade range. Swapping makes sense when the dispensing method of the product changes. With a custom combination, we recommend verifying the seal, dispensing and packaging behaviour with the specific formulation, especially for very thin or conversely thicker products.
