Plastic bottle, clear round, white shaped flip top, 750 ml

750 ml plastic bottle with a white flip top cap is a ready-made set for filling both rinse-off and leave-on cosmetics in larger packaging. The clear, round bottle shows the contents and their colour. The plastic is lightweight and shatter-resistant, making it suitable for the shower or bathroom where glass would be a hazard. The shaped flip top cap opens with a single thumb movement and dispenses the contents without unscrewing, which you will appreciate in everyday use.

The 750 ml volume corresponds to a family or salon size. The set is suitable mainly for shampoos, shower gels, liquid soaps, conditioners, body lotions and facial or body tonics — that is, liquid and medium-viscosity products dispensed by squeezing or pouring.

The set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetics. The food-contact certification applies to the bottle individually; the complete set with this cap is intended for cosmetic products.

How the set works

• Flip top dispensing – the cap has a hinged lid with a dispensing opening; the contents are dispensed by tilting and gently squeezing the bottle. Once closed, the lid snaps shut, the opening is covered and the contents do not leak even when the bottle is placed on its side.
• Clear bottle – the quantity and colour of the contents are visible, which is an advantage with coloured gel products and when monitoring consumption.
• Round shape – the bottle sits comfortably in the hand even with wet palms and compresses easily, which makes dispensing thicker products more convenient.
• Secure closure – the cap screws onto the bottle neck; the flip top lid is used only for everyday opening. Before transport, check that the cap is tightened and the lid is snapped shut.

Nominal and total volume

Nominal volume is the volume for which the bottle is designed under normal filling conditions. Total volume to the brim is the physical volume up to the neck and is always slightly larger. The difference provides a headspace for the cap and for expansion of the contents with temperature changes. The bottle should be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim. An overfilled bottle is difficult to close and the contents may leak through the opening on the first squeeze.

What is good to know before filling

Before first filling, we recommend washing and sanitising the bottle and cap with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and allowing them to dry completely. Residual water in the container will dilute the first dose of product and, in insufficiently preserved formulations, may encourage microbial growth.

Clear plastic does not protect the contents from light. Products with sensitive ingredients, such as vegetable oils prone to oxidation, vitamins or essential oils, should be stored out of direct sunlight or packed in an opaque container. For shampoos, shower gels and standard liquid soaps, the clear bottle is fully adequate.

Plastic is sensitive to high temperatures. Do not fill the bottle with hot products; allow emulsions and gels to cool to room temperature before filling. For formulations with a higher proportion of essential oils, solvents or alcohol, we recommend testing the behaviour of the packaging with the specific formulation, as the plastic may gradually change in appearance or shape over time.

The packaging is suitable for repeated use. After emptying, simply wash it with warm water and detergent, rinse and sanitise in the same way as before first filling. Clean the dispensing opening of the cap free of dried product, otherwise the seal of the lid will deteriorate.

Both the bottle and the cap are made of plastic and should be disposed of in plastic waste after use; rinse them before recycling.

Other closures and combinations

The bottle has a 28/410 neck thread. Closures with the same neck type — other caps, pumps or sprayers — and ready-made bottle and closure combinations are available in the Handymade range. With a custom combination, verify the seal of the filled bottle placed on its side and the behaviour of the closure with the specific formulation.
