Brown Plastic Bottle, Black Cap, 200 ml

The amber plastic bottle with a volume of 200 ml and the black screw cap form a ready-to-use set: simply wash, fill and close. The amber PET reduces the amount of light reaching the contents, so it suits products that are sensitive to light: vegetable oils, massage blends, tinctures and toners. The bottle is lightweight and does not break when dropped, which you will appreciate when filling a larger number of pieces or shipping to customers. The whole set is approved for direct contact with food, so you can also use it for homemade oils, syrups or herbal infusions.

The medicine bottle has a narrow neck (28/410 neck finish) that lets liquid contents pour smoothly and without splashing. The HDPE cap screws directly onto the neck. Both the bottle and the cap are declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products, and you will find the declaration of conformity with the product.

What it is suitable for

• Body and massage oils – the dark material slows down the oxidation of oils caused by light.
• Toners, facial waters and hydrosols – water-based products dispense easily from the narrow neck onto a cotton pad or into the palm.
• Tinctures and alcohol extracts – the amber packaging protects dyes and active ingredients that fade in light.
• Shampoos, shower gels and liquid soaps – thicker products can later be combined with a different type of closure from our range on the same neck.
• Food use – flavoured oils, syrups, vinegars or herbal infusions prepared at home.

Nominal and total volume

The figure of 200 ml is the nominal volume, that is, the amount the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The physical volume up to the rim of the neck is larger. The difference between them serves as a reserve for the closure, a pump or sprayer if used, and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. Fill the bottle to the nominal volume, not to the brim. An overfilled bottle will push the contents out when the cap is screwed on, or leak through the thread when warmed.

Preparation and filling

Before first use, wash the bottle and the cap in warm water with a cleaning product, rinse them thoroughly and disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. Then leave them to dry completely with the neck facing down, as residual water would dilute the contents and reduce their stability. When filling through the narrow neck, a funnel helps, especially with thicker gels and shampoos.

Thick products that are difficult to dispense through a simple cap can be handled by another closure with the same neck type. You will find closures with a 28/410 neck finish as well as ready-made packaging + closure combinations in the Handymade range. For your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness, dispensing and behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.

Good to know

PET tolerates water-based products, vegetable oils and alcohol in common concentrations well. With concentrated essential oils, fragrance compositions and strong solvents, check compatibility first, as long-term contact with undiluted aroma compounds can damage the plastic. Do not expose the packaging to aggressive chemicals.

The bottle can be reused if you wash and disinfect it after emptying in the same way as before the first filling. If the cap stops sealing, simply replace it with a new one with the same thread.

The bottle is made of PET and the cap of HDPE. Separate them before recycling; both materials belong in sorted plastic waste collection.
