When selecting a bottle, check the type of neck and compatibility with this dropper in the parameters of both products. Ideally, you should combine components that are classified on Handymade in the same or a related product range, because these combinations are practically tested. Before final stocking, we recommend carrying out a trial filling, checking the sealing, the stability of the dripping and the behaviour of the packaging during storage and handling.

The dropper can be used repeatedly provided that you observe strict hygiene rules. Before each new filling it is necessary to dismantle the packaging as far as possible, clean it mechanically and then disinfect it with a suitable disinfectant, for example using isopropyl alcohol or denatured ethanol. After disinfection, let all parts dry thoroughly at room temperature. Repeated use is recommended only for products where this is suitable in terms of hygiene and formulation stability.

Keep the dropper clean and protect it from mechanical damage. After work, remove product residues that could clog the dosing orifice, and according to the type of filled formulation choose a suitable cleaning method. For more viscous oils, gentle rinsing with a suitable solvent, followed by clean water and disinfection, can help. When handling, avoid excessive mechanical force so as not to impair the sealing or the shape of the dosing part.

Dosing depends on the viscosity of the product. With very thin, watery formulations, dripping will be faster, so we recommend tilting the bottle less and observing the first trial drops. With more viscous oils and serums, the flow may be slower, which in most cases facilitates precise dosing. Before the actual use of the product by the customer, we recommend an internal test in which you verify whether the chosen combination of packaging and formulation ensures smooth dripping without splashing and dripping down the walls of the bottle.

On the Handymade website you can use the advanced filter, which is located in the upper part after clicking on a specific packaging category. Thanks to it, you can quickly select a suitable bottle, medicine vial, jar or closure according to the required parameters. You can filter by type of neck, size, colour and material, which significantly facilitates the search for a compatible solution for your formulations and the visual style of your brand.

If you decide not to reuse the dropper, we recommend recycling it in accordance with the information about the material given in the product parameters. First remove any remaining contents, if possible rinse the dropper and then sort it into a suitable collection container according to the type of plastic. In the case of combined packaging (for example plastic + a possible rubber or other insert), it may be necessary to separate the individual parts. Follow local waste-sorting rules and the recommendations given with the product on Handymade so that the recycling process is as effective as possible.
