Glass bottle, Boston round PP28S, 200 ml

The Boston glass bottle 200 ml is a container for liquid products used in larger quantities: tonics, hydrolats, hair waters, liquid soaps, and massage or body oils. Glass does not react with the contents, does not allow odours to pass through, and does not absorb the scent or colour of the filling. It is therefore also suitable for formulations with essential oils, alcohol, or vegetable oils. The packaging is suitable for direct contact with food, so it can be used outside of cosmetics as well.

Bottle is the term for the shape: a cylindrical body with rounded shoulders and a neck with a PP28S thread. The dispensing method is determined by the chosen closure.

What the bottle is suitable for

• Water-based products – tonics, hydrolats, micellar and facial waters.
• Rinse-off cosmetics – shower gels, shampoos and liquid soaps. Glass is heavier and more fragile than plastic, so it is better suited for a shelf by the sink than for use in the shower.
• Oil blends – massage, body and bath oils, including blends with essential oils that could degrade certain plastics.
• Alcoholic extracts and tinctures – glass is resistant to ethanol even with prolonged contact.
• Food use – syrups, flavoured oils, vinegars and herbal extracts from home production.

Nominal and total volume

Nominal volume is the amount the bottle is designed for during normal filling. Total volume to the brim is the physical volume up to the neck and is always slightly larger. The difference between them provides a reserve for the closure or pump that extends into the neck, and for expansion of the contents with temperature changes.

What is good to know

Before the first use, wash the bottle with warm water and dish soap and rinse thoroughly. Then disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and allow it to dry completely. Residual water in the container increases the risk of microbial contamination, especially with water-based products.

The straight cylindrical body provides sufficient surface for a label; the dimensions needed for its design are listed in the parameters. The packaging is suitable for use with cosmetic products; the declaration can be found in the product parameters.

Closures with the same neck type and ready-made bottle-and-closure combinations are available in the Handymade range. When assembling your own combination, we recommend verifying the seal, dispensing, and behaviour of the container with the specific formulation.
