Product description

Indicator paper strips for measuring pH 1–14 are a practical, accurate and fast aid for checking the acidity or alkalinity of solutions when manufacturing cosmetics, household cleaning products, or when checking the pH of rinsing solutions before filling them into packaging. Thanks to the wide pH measurement range, they are suitable for ongoing control of formulation stability, the safety of finished products, as well as for simple comparative tests in small-scale production.

Possible uses

  • Quick pH check of cleaning products before filling into bottles, vials, jars or other cosmetic packaging.
  • Testing the pH of facial toners, serums, shampoos, shower gels and emulsions before closing them in final containers and pots.
  • Verification of the pH of rinsing solutions when preparing packaging material (for example when rinsing glass or plastic bottles).
  • pH control when formulating household cleaning and technical solutions used in the manufacturing and filling process.
  • Indicative measurements under laboratory and workshop conditions when working with packaging that requires a specific pH range of its contents.

Packaging advantages

  • Stable and practical packaging – the strips are compact, protected in practical packaging that minimizes contact with moisture and impurities during storage and handling.
  • Protection of measuring strips – the packaging is designed so that the indicator zones remain dry, clean and reliable up to the moment of use.
  • Easy dispensing – individual strips can be conveniently removed as needed, without unnecessary waste and without the risk of contaminating the remaining pieces.
  • Universal use – the compact packaging fits easily into a drawer, laboratory cabinet or next to bottles, jars and other packaging material in the workshop or production area.

Combining with closures and dispensers

  • Indicator paper strips are an ideal control tool when selecting and testing suitable packaging, bottles, jars and containers for different types of formulations with differing pH.
  • When checking the pH of finished products before filling them into packaging, they help verify whether the selected materials of bottles, vials, pumps or sprayers are suitable for the given pH range.
  • Bottles and other packaging material available on Handymade.sk are compatible with various types of closures and dosing systems (for example screw caps, droppers, sprayers or practical applicators) according to the selected parameters.
  • Combinations of packaging and closures created directly on Handymade are tested and functional. However, for all combinations we always recommend performing your own compatibility test (sealing, dosing and behaviour of the packaging in contact with the specific formulation).

Technical parameters

  • All technical parameters of the packaging are listed in the enclosed Packaging Quality Certificate and in the product parameters.
  • Before use, we recommend familiarising yourself with the information in the technical documentation and adapting the method of handling and storage to these data.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions

How should indicator paper strips for measuring pH be used correctly when manufacturing cosmetics?

Briefly immerse the strip or press it against a small sample of the solution you want to test, making sure that the indicator fields are evenly moistened but not soaked through. After the recommended time has elapsed (usually a few seconds), compare the colouring of the indicator zones with the scale on the packaging. Perform the measurement only after thoroughly mixing the product, ideally at room temperature, and always use clean tools so as not to affect the pH result.


Can I reuse indicator paper strips or immerse them in the solution multiple times?

Indicator paper strips are intended for single use – use each snippet only once and dispose of it after the measurement. This prevents distortion of the results and contamination of the tested solution. If you need to perform multiple measurements, always use a new strip and work with a clean sample of the product.


How should I store indicator paper strips so that they remain reliable for as long as possible?

Store the strips in their original packaging, always well closed, in a dry and cooler place away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Avoid storing them in the immediate vicinity of aggressive chemicals and fumes that could gradually alter the indicator fields. When handling the packaging and the strips, keep your hands dry and clean so as not to affect their sensitivity.


What is the difference between indicative pH measurement with strips and pH measurement using an electronic probe?

Indicator paper strips provide quick and simple indicative pH measurement with sufficient accuracy for most cosmetic and hobby applications. An electronic pH probe makes it possible to obtain a more accurate value with finer resolution, but it requires calibration, care of the electrode and often a higher initial investment. For hand-made cosmetic production and routine pH control of products, strips are generally fully sufficient; for specific professional applications it may be appropriate to supplement them with measurements using a pH meter.


You offer many types of packaging – how can I find the right one for my product?

To select a suitable bottle, vial, jar or other packaging, you can use the extended filter located at the top of the page after clicking on the given packaging category. You can clearly filter the products by neck type, size, colour and material, which facilitates the selection of packaging for a specific formulation and the desired dosing method. Thanks to the filters, you will quickly find compatible closures, pumps or sprayers for your projects.
