Clear tall plastic bottle, white-gold matte pump, 100 ml

A clear plastic bottle with a capacity of 100 ml and a white-gold matte pump dispenser is a ready-to-use set for liquid and semi-liquid cosmetic products dispensed by pressing. It is particularly suited to liquid soaps, shower gels, shampoos, body lotions, and lighter emulsions. Clear PET shows the colour and texture of the contents, is lightweight, and will not shatter if dropped, making it practical in the bathroom and when travelling.

The bottle and pump have the same neck type, so there is no need to check compatibility. The matte white-gold pump gives the product a refined look, suitable for gift packaging or small production runs for retail.

What the set offers in practice

• One-handed dispensing – a single press delivers approximately 1.3 ml of product.
• Cleaner use – the contents do not come into contact with fingers as they would with a jar, reducing the risk of introducing contaminants into the product.
• Visible contents – the remaining amount and any changes in the product, such as phase separation or cloudiness, are visible through the clear wall.
• Lightweight and impact-resistant – PET will not shatter if dropped, making the set suitable for the shower, the washbasin, and a travel bag.
• Tall, slim profile – the straight wall provides a surface for a label; the dimensions needed for label design are listed in the product parameters.

Which products it is suited for

The pump works reliably with liquids and emulsions of fluid to medium viscosity. It dispenses liquid soaps, shower gels, shampoos, conditioners, body lotions, cleansing gels, facial milks, and massage oils with ease.

Very thick creams, butters, and balms are less suitable, as the pump cannot draw them up; products with coarse particles, such as scrubs with beads, may clog the mechanism. Very thin aqueous solutions dispense without issue, though a spray bottle is better suited for fine misting.

Nominal and total volume

The 100 ml figure is the nominal volume, meaning the quantity the bottle is designed for under normal filling conditions. The total capacity up to the rim of the neck is slightly larger. This difference accounts for the space taken up by the pump tube and mechanism once fitted, and for product expansion with temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim; otherwise the contents will overflow at the neck when closing.

What to know before filling

Before first use, wash both the bottle and the pump, disinfect with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, and allow to dry completely. It is advisable to pump the disinfectant through the dispenser with several strokes so it reaches the tube and the mechanism.

The pump tube is supplied longer than the height of the bottle. Before fitting, trim it with clean scissors so that it reaches just above the bottom. A diagonal cut helps prevent the tube from suctioning against the bottom and allows the pump to draw out as much product as possible.

PET does not tolerate high temperatures. Products should be filled into the bottle cooled down, at most lukewarm, as hot material may deform the wall. For products with a high proportion of essential oils or solvents, it is advisable to test the container's behaviour on a sample batch first, as concentrated mixtures can degrade plastic over time.

The set is intended for cosmetic products; both the bottle and the pump are declared suitable for contact with cosmetics, and declarations of conformity are available on the product page. Handymade also offers other closures with the same neck type and further ready-made combinations. When assembling a custom combination, we recommend verifying the seal, dispensing performance, and compatibility of the packaging with the specific formulation.

The pump is made from multiple materials and should therefore be separated from the bottle when sorting waste for recycling.
