Plastic bottle, brown, matte white flip-top, 300 ml

A brown 300 ml plastic bottle with a matte white flip-top cap is a ready-made set for liquid and semi-thick products that are dispensed directly into the palm: shampoos, shower gels, liquid soaps or body lotions.

The bottle is made of PET, so it is lightweight and will not shatter if dropped, which is handy in the bathroom, in the shower and when travelling. The brown colour dims light and helps protect ingredients that are sensitive to it.

What products the set is suited for

The opening in the cap releases the contents when the bottle is tilted or gently squeezed. It therefore works best with products that flow on their own, but not too fast:

• Hair care – shampoos, conditioners and rinse-off masks of thinner consistency.
• Washing products – shower gels, liquid soaps, bubble baths.
• Body care – body lotions, thinner emulsions, massage and body oils.
• Technical and household products – for example liquid cleaning agents, as long as they are not aggressive chemicals.

Very thin liquids, such as toners or hydrosols, run out through the opening quickly and are harder to dispense. Thick creams, butters and balms come out of the bottle poorly and stay on the walls. For such products a different type of closure or a jar is more suitable.

How to work with a flip-top cap

The flip-top opens by lifting the lid, which stays attached to the cap. It will not get lost and the bottle can be operated with one hand. Once snapped shut, the lid closes the opening. The cap itself screws onto the bottle and after filling it should be tightened evenly, without excessive force.

Closures with the same neck type (listed in the parameters) and other ready-made combinations can be found in the Handymade range. For your own combination we recommend checking the tightness, dispensing and behaviour of the packaging with the specific formulation.

Nominal and total volume

The bottle is intended for 300 ml of product, which is its nominal volume at standard filling. The total volume to the brim is the physical volume all the way to the neck and is somewhat larger. The difference serves as a reserve for the closure and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. It is therefore filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim. An overfilled bottle may leak when closed or heated.

What is good to know before filling

Preparing the packaging. Before the first filling, wash the bottle and the cap, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and let them dry completely. Water residue in the packaging needlessly burdens the preservation of the product.

Material sensitivity. The bottle is not intended for aggressive chemicals. For products with a higher proportion of essential oils or solvents, we recommend a trial filling and several weeks of observation.

Labelling. The label holds best on a dry and degreased surface. The bottle dimensions needed for its design are in the product parameters.

Contact with cosmetics and food. The cap has a declaration of suitability for use with cosmetic products. The set is not approved for contact with food, so it is not used for food and beverages.
