Plastic bottle, clear 24/410, 200 ml

Plastic bottle, transparent 24/410, 200 ml

A lightweight and shatterproof PET bottle for cosmetic products where the contents should be visible. The transparent wall shows the colour of the contents and the remaining volume, making it suitable for tonics, facial and micellar waters, shower gels, shampoos, body lotions, and massage or body oils. A nominal volume of 200 ml and a 24/410 neck thread make it a versatile packaging for everyday skincare.

The bottle is suitable for cosmetic and technical use. The packaging material is compliant with applicable regulations for use with cosmetic products; a declaration of conformity is available on the product page.

Why choose this bottle

• Lightweight and shatterproof – PET weighs a fraction of glass and survives a drop on a bathroom floor. Ideal for the shower, travel, and postal shipping.
• Transparency – the customer can see the product colour and how much is left. With coloured tonics, gel textures, or layered oils, this also becomes part of the product presentation.
• Standard 24/410 neck – one of the most common thread types with a wide range of closures available. The bottle can therefore be used with products requiring different dispensing methods.
• Practical volume – 200 ml is sufficient for rinse-off products and body care, while the bottle still fits comfortably in hand.

Nominal volume and brim-full volume

When filling, it helps to understand two figures found in the product specifications. Nominal volume is the quantity the bottle is designed for under normal filling conditions and corresponds to the amount declared on the label. Total brim-full volume is the physical capacity up to the neck. The difference between the two provides clearance for the closure, pump, or sprayer — part of which extends into the bottle — and for expansion of the contents with temperature changes. Always fill to the nominal volume, not to the brim. Otherwise the contents will overflow when fitting the closure, or the bottle may leak after warming.

Choosing a closure

The bottle is sold without a closure. Closures with the same neck thread and ready-made bottle-and-closure combinations are available in the Handymade range. With a custom combination, we recommend testing the seal, dispensing performance, and packaging behaviour with your specific formulation. A thick body lotion behaves differently from a watery tonic, and each closure dispenses a different volume.

Good to know

Preparation before filling. Bottles are not sterile. Before first use, rinse them, sanitise with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, and leave to dry completely with the neck facing down. Residual water in the bottle dilutes the preservative system and unnecessarily compromises the microbiological stability of the product.

Filling temperature. PET is not designed for hot-fill. Allow emulsions, gels, and infusions to cool to approximately room temperature before filling. Otherwise the bottle wall may deform, and once the contents cool, the bottle can collapse inwards.

Aqueous, alcoholic, and oil-based fills. The bottle is suitable for aqueous solutions, emulsions, gels, and vegetable oils. For products with a high proportion of alcohol, essential oils, or solvents, we recommend testing the bottle's behaviour on a trial piece, particularly for prolonged contact. Some ingredients may soften or cloud the plastic over time.

Light. The transparent wall provides no light protection for the contents. Products sensitive to light — such as unstable active ingredients, unsaturated oils, or certain dyes — are better suited to amber glass or opaque plastic. In a transparent bottle, they are protected only by a cardboard carton or storage away from direct light.

Labelling. The straight cylindrical wall makes it easy to apply both labels and shrink sleeves. Label design dimensions are listed in the product specifications.

Reuse and recycling. The bottle can be reused after thorough washing and sanitisation. Empty bottles belong in sorted plastic waste collection according to the material code listed in the product specifications.
