Oval plastic bottle, clear 24/410, 30 ml

A plastic oval bottle with a capacity of 30 ml is a lightweight, shatter-resistant container for travel sizes, samples and smaller doses of liquid products. The transparent wall lets you see the colour and clarity of the contents and how much product remains. Suitable for facial waters and tonics, micellar waters, shower gels, shampoos, body lotions and lighter oils.

The oval shape sits comfortably in the hand and provides labelling surface on both the front and back. The 24/410 neck is a standard size, so the bottle can be paired with a wide range of closures depending on how the contents are to be dispensed. The packaging is suitable for contact with cosmetic products and for direct contact with food, making it useful for small batches of home-made oils, syrups or herbal infusions.

When to use this bottle

• Travel and trial sizes – the small volume is enough for a few days of use or for testing a new formula without filling a large container.
• Products where the contents should be visible – clear plastic shows colour, clarity and layering in two-phase products.
• Bathroom and on-the-go packaging – plastic will not shatter if dropped, making it a safer choice where glass would be a hazard.
• Small batches and gift sets – the oval shape saves space in a box and bottles can be packed closely side by side.

Nominal and total volume

Nominal volume is the volume the bottle is intended to be filled to under normal conditions. Total brim-full volume is the physical capacity up to the neck and is slightly larger. The difference serves as a margin for the closure, a dip tube, or thermal expansion of the contents. For thick products it is worth filling by weight, since the same volume can have a different mass depending on the formulation.

Choosing a closure

Closures with the same neck type and ready-made bottle-and-closure combinations are available from Handymade. When assembling your own combination, it is worth testing the closure on one filled bottle first to check the seal, dispensing behaviour and compatibility with the specific formulation.

Good to know

Preparation before first filling. The bottle should be washed, disinfected with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and left to dry completely. Residual water inside the container increases the risk of microbial contamination, particularly in water-containing products.

Labelling. The dimensions required for label design are listed in the parameters on the product page. On an oval bottle, a label adheres best to the flatter front and back walls. The surface should be dry and degreased before applying the label.
