Amber Plastic Bottle, Transparent Disc Top, 150 ml

Plastic bottle, amber, clear disc top, 150 ml

The amber PET bottle with a capacity of 150 ml and a clear disc top cap make a ready-to-use set for liquid and medium-viscosity products that are dispensed by squeezing the bottle. The amber colour reduces light exposure, so it also suits contents with vegetable oils or light-sensitive active ingredients. PET is lightweight, does not break when dropped and withstands the usual squeezing during dispensing. The set is suitable for the bathroom, for travel and for a small cosmetics production run.

The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetics.

How the disc top cap works

The disc top cap has a flat disc on its upper part. Pressing one side tilts the disc and uncovers the dispensing opening, and pressing the opposite side closes the opening again. The bottle can therefore be opened with one hand. The clear version of the cap lets the colour of the bottle stand out.

The products that dispense best are those that flow smoothly when the bottle is squeezed: body lotion, light emulsion, shampoo, shower gel, facial cleansing gel, conditioner or massage oil. Very thin water-based contents, such as facial toners, run out quickly through a disc top and the dose is harder to judge. Thick creams and butters, on the other hand, are difficult to squeeze out of a bottle, and a jar or a pump is more suitable for them.

What it is suitable for

• Body lotions and light creams – a liquid emulsion flows out smoothly when the bottle is squeezed, and you control the size of the dose by how hard you squeeze.
• Shampoos, shower gels and cleansing gels – rinse-off products can be squeezed out of the PET bottle even with a wet hand.
• Massage and body oils – a liquid oil flows out easily, and a light squeeze of the bottle is enough.
• Conditioners and thinner hair masks – if they can be squeezed out of the bottle, the disc top dispenses them straight into the palm.
• Samples and smaller batches – the set is supplied as a ready-made pair, so there is no need to look for a suitable closure.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume is the amount the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The total brimful volume given in the parameters is the physical volume of the bottle up to the neck. The difference between them is a reserve for the cap, for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes and for comfortable squeezing of the bottle during dispensing. The bottle is therefore filled up to the nominal volume. A bottle filled to the neck is harder to squeeze once closed, and the contents may spurt out when it is opened.

Before first filling and reuse

Before first use, wash the bottle and the cap in warm water with washing-up liquid, rinse well and disinfect the inside with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. Let both parts dry completely before filling. Residual water in an amber bottle is not visible and could get into an anhydrous product.

The set can be used repeatedly. Repeat the washing and disinfection with every further filling, and check that the disc of the cap still fits tightly. If dried residue of the previous product has got into it, soak the cap and rinse it with warm water.

You will find closures with the same neck finish as stated in the parameters, and other ready-made combinations of a bottle with a closure, in the Handymade range. If you create your own combination, check the tightness, the dispensing and the behaviour of the packaging with your product.

The bottle is made of PET and the cap of PP. Both materials are among the commonly recycled plastics. Before disposal, it is enough to empty the set and unscrew the cap.
