Plastic bottle, clear round, type D, 24/410, 300 ml

This clear plastic bottle with a volume of 300 ml and a 24/410 neck finish serves as packaging for liquid and semi-liquid cosmetic products. The volume matches the usual sizes of shampoos, shower gels, body lotions, conditioners and liquid soaps, that is, products that are dispensed with a pump or poured through a cap. The clear PET lets you see the colour and the amount of contents remaining, so it suits products that should be on display: coloured gels, toners with a plant-derived tint, or products where the customer keeps an eye on how much is left.

PET is a light and strong plastic that is easier to handle in the bathroom than glass. The bottle is round with a circular base and, in the standard version, uncoloured.

What the bottle is suitable for

• Shampoos and shower gels – water-based products for which PET is commonly used; with a pump or flip top closure, the product can be dispensed with one hand even in the shower.
• Body lotions and conditioners – thicker emulsions where clear packaging is an advantage, because you can see whether the product has separated and how much is left.
• Liquid soaps and toners – thin water-based products for the sink or bathroom, which are refilled from a larger pack.

The manufacturer also lists the bottle as packaging for personal care products, cleaning products, car care products and food. In the Handymade range, it is intended for cosmetics.

Nominal volume and filling allowance

The volume of 300 ml is the nominal volume, that is, the amount the bottle is designed for under normal filling. The total volume up to the rim of the neck is larger. The difference is an allowance for the closure and the dip tube of the pump or sprayer. The bottle is therefore filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim.

24/410 neck and choice of closure

The 24/410 marking means a neck diameter of 24 mm and the common 410 thread type. Caps, disc top and flip top closures, sprayers, foamers and dispensing pumps with the same marking fit it. You will find closures with this neck finish and ready-made bottle and closure combinations in the Handymade range. For your own combination, we recommend checking the seal and dispensing with your specific formulation.

Good to know

• Preparation before first filling – rinse the bottle, disinfect it if needed with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and let it dry completely.
• Reuse – once empty, the bottle can be washed and refilled. When switching to a different product, wash it thoroughly so that residues of fragrance and preservatives do not mix.
• Temperature of the contents – PET is a thermoplastic, so let the product cool to room temperature before filling.
• Oil-based and alcohol-based products – PET is commonly used for water-based cosmetic products. With a higher proportion of essential oils, solvents or alcohol, check how the packaging behaves with the finished formulation.
• Recycling – PET is a recyclable plastic with identification code 1. An empty, rinsed bottle belongs in plastics recycling.
