Amber Plastic Bottle, Black Flip Top, 150 ml

The amber plastic bottle with a black flip top cap is a ready-to-fill set for liquid and semi-liquid cosmetic products with a volume of 150 ml. The amber-coloured PET dims the light, so light-sensitive contents stay unchanged for longer in the bathroom. The bottle is lightweight and, unlike glass, does not break. The flip top cap opens one-handed with your thumb, which you will appreciate most when showering or washing your hair.

The 150 ml volume suits products that are used up gradually and dispensed in smaller amounts: shampoos, shower gels, liquid soaps, conditioners, body lotions, micellar waters, or massage and body oils. Both the bottle and the cap have a 24/410 neck finish, and both parts are declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products. The set as a whole is intended for cosmetics.

What the set is suitable for

• Rinse-off cosmetics – shampoos, shower gels and liquid soaps are dispensed straight into your palm through the flip top, so you do not need to unscrew the bottle.
• Body lotions and thin emulsions – medium-thick emulsions flow smoothly through the cap opening. With thicker creams, test whether they can still be squeezed out.
• Body oils and oil serums – the small opening dispenses drop by drop or in a thin stream, depending on how hard you squeeze.
• Samples and travel sizes – 150 ml fits in a cosmetics bag and lasts through a longer stay.
• Your own products for sale – the set is supplied ready to fill, so you do not need to buy a cap separately or match it by thread.

How it dispenses and closes

The flip top has a small opening in the centre of the cap, which is uncovered by flipping the lid open. The amount is regulated by squeezing the bottle: light pressure gives a few drops, stronger pressure a thin stream. Once the lid is snapped shut, the opening is covered and the bottle can be left on a shelf, even upside down, if you want thicker contents always at the opening. The cap screws onto the bottle. Before first use, therefore, tighten it by hand as far as it goes and check that no contents leak around the thread when you squeeze.

If you combine the bottle with a different closure, the same 24/410 neck finish applies. You will find more closures with this thread, as well as ready-made sets, in the Handymade range. With every new combination, we recommend checking the tightness, the dispensing and how the packaging behaves with your specific formulation.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume of 150 ml is the amount the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The total brimful volume is the physical volume up to the neck and can be found in the parameters. The difference between them is a reserve: part of the space is taken up by the cap once it is screwed on, and part is needed by the contents to expand when the temperature changes and when the bottle is squeezed during dispensing. Fill to the nominal volume, not to the brim.

Preparation, filling and reuse

Before the first filling, wash the bottle and the cap, disinfect them and let them dry completely. Pour in the contents only once they have cooled, as the bottle should be protected from heat. With emulsions, therefore, wait until the mixture cools to room temperature.

The packaging can be reused. Unscrew the cap and rinse the bottle with warm water and washing-up liquid; for oil residues, wipe them out with a paper towel first. Small residues of product remain in the flip top opening and must be washed out when you change the contents, otherwise the new product will mix with the old one. The bottle is made of PET and the cap of PP; at the end of their life, both parts go in plastic recycling.
