Yes, the packaging can be used repeatedly with a suitable type of filling, provided you follow basic hygiene principles. Before each refilling, the bottle must be thoroughly cleaned and then disinfected with a suitable alcohol-based preparation, for example with isopropyl alcohol or with denatured plant ethanol. This minimises the risk of microbial contamination and prolongs the stability of your products.

Plastic packaging is generally not intended for long-term exposure to high temperatures. Contact with excessively hot liquids or washing in a dishwasher may lead to gradual surface degradation, loss of clarity or changes in shape and tightness. We recommend washing the bottle by hand in lukewarm water with a mild cleansing agent and then disinfecting it with a suitable alcohol, according to the nature of your formulation.

Before first use, we recommend rinsing the packaging with clean water, optionally using a mild detergent, then drying it thoroughly and disinfecting it. For disinfection you can use for example IPA 99 % or ethanol 96 % denatured, plant-based. After treatment, allow the alcohol to evaporate so that the packaging is dry and ready to be filled with your product.

If you decide not to use the packaging further, we recommend recycling it according to the type of plastic stated in the product parameters. After emptying, rinse the bottle at least briefly, remove any product residues and then sort it into the appropriate container for plastic waste in accordance with local sorting rules. In this way, you reduce the amount of municipal waste and support the reprocessing of the material.

When selecting the ideal packaging, we recommend using the advanced filter, which you can find at the top of the page after clicking on the relevant packaging category. In the filter you can easily choose parameters such as neck type, size, colour or packaging material. This allows you to quickly select bottles, jars or pots that match your formulation, the required volume and the visual style of your brand.

The choice of closure depends on the consistency and method of use of your product. For liquid toners or facial waters, classic screw caps or sprayers are suitable; for more concentrated serums and oils, droppers or precise dosing applicators are practical. For all combinations of packaging and closures that are not directly prepared as a set on Handymade, we recommend performing your own compatibility test – verify sealing, dose, smoothness of spraying or dispensing and the behaviour of the material in contact with your formulation.
