High Clear Plastic Bottle, Golden Pump, 100 ml

Clear plastic bottle, tall, gold pump, 100 ml

A slim, clear PET bottle with a black and gold pump, supplied as a ready-made set with a 24/410 neck finish. The clear plastic shows the colour and the level of the contents, and the pump measures out the same amount with each press without opening the bottle. The set is suitable for liquid and medium-thick products that are dispensed repeatedly: body and face lotions, liquid soaps, face or massage oils, serums or hair conditioners in travel or trial sizes. The bottle and the pump are declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products; you will find the declaration of conformity with the product.

Key features of the set

• Dose of approximately 1 ml – one press releases the same amount, which makes it easier to estimate consumption and saves the contents with serums and oils, where a little is enough.
• Clear PET bottle – the contents are visible, so you can monitor the colour, any change in appearance and how much product is left. The material is light and withstands a drop better than glass.
• Tall, narrow shape – the bottle takes up little space on a shelf or in a cosmetics bag and sits well in the hand when dispensing.
• Black and gold pump – a combination of PP plastic and aluminium that visually distinguishes the product from all-plastic pumps.
• Hygienic dispensing – the contents do not come into contact with your fingers and only minimally with air, which you will appreciate with emulsions and oils.

Dispensing and handling the packaging

The pump draws up the contents through a dip tube. The tube is supplied longer than the height of the bottle, so shorten it before the first filling so that it ends just above the bottom. Fit the pump on the empty bottle, check the length and trim again if necessary. With the correct length, the pump draws up almost all of the contents. A tube that is too long bends at the bottom and suction fails.

Liquid soaps, lotions and oils pass through the pump without problems. With thicker creams, gel textures or products containing particles (scrubs, pigments), the mechanism may clog or draw in only air. Fill one bottle with such a formulation as a trial and try several presses before you fill a larger number of bottles.

Filling and volume

Nominal volume is the amount the bottle is designed for under normal filling. The total brim volume is always larger. The difference is a reserve for the tube and the pump body, which displace part of the contents upwards after screwing on, and for the expansion of the product with temperature changes. Therefore fill the bottle up to the nominal volume. An overfilled bottle overflows when the pump is fitted and the contents get into the thread, where they gradually dry.

Good to know

Light. A clear bottle does not protect the contents from light. Store products containing essential oils, plant extracts, vitamins or unstabilised vegetable oils away from direct sunlight, or choose a bottle made of a dark material for them.

Product composition. Aqueous solutions, emulsions, liquid soaps and common vegetable oils are standard contents for PET and PP. With a high proportion of essential oils, fragrance compositions or solvents, we recommend leaving the filled bottle to stand for several weeks and checking for clouding of the wall, a plastic odour and whether the pump still seals tightly. Do not expose the packaging to aggressive chemicals.

Preparation and cleaning. Before the first filling, wash the bottle, disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave it to dry completely. Rinse the pump with clean water and then with ethanol, and press it dry several times to drive the water out of the tube. The packaging can be reused. Residues of oil or soap in the mechanism impair operation, so rinse the pump thoroughly after the previous contents.

Closures. The bottle has a 24/410 neck finish, so other closures with this thread from the Handymade range fit it, as do ready-made combinations. If you put together your own set, check the tightness and dispensing with your specific formulation.

Recycling. The bottle is made of PET, and the pump combines PP and aluminium. Before disposal, unscrew the pump from the bottle and sort the two parts separately.
