Recycled Plastic Bottle, Black Disc Top, 250 ml

A ready-made set of a transparent recycled PET bottle with a capacity of 250 ml and a black disc top cap is designed for liquid and medium-viscosity cosmetic products dispensed by squeezing the bottle. The transparent wall shows the contents and the colour of the product, and the lightweight PET is suitable for the bathroom and travel.

The packaging is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products. The set as a whole is not intended for contact with food.

How the set works

• Disc top cap – one-finger dispensing. Pressing one side of the disc opens a small opening, the contents are dispensed by gently squeezing the bottle, and pressing the disc in the opposite direction closes the cap. When closed, the contents are protected from dust and drying out.
• Transparent bottle – the fill level and colour of the product are visible, which is practical for coloured gels and lotions. However, it does not protect the contents from light; for light-sensitive products we recommend darker packaging.
• Flexible PET wall – the bottle can be squeezed and returns to its shape after release, which is necessary for dispensing through the disc top. The material is lightweight.
• Recycled material – the bottle is made from recycled PET, which reduces the consumption of new plastic.

Nominal and total volume

The bottle is designed to be filled to the nominal volume, meaning the quantity for which it is intended under normal filling conditions. The total volume to the top of the neck is physically larger. This difference is a reserve for the cap and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. It also leaves air in the bottle, which is needed for dispensing the contents by squeezing. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim. The nominal volume is stated in the parameters.

Suitable for products such as

• Shower gels and liquid soaps – liquid to gel consistency is dispensed precisely and without dripping.
• Shampoos and conditioners – one-handed operation is practical in the shower, the cap closes with a press.
• Body and face lotions – lighter emulsions pass through the opening without issues; thicker ones we recommend testing.
• Cleansing and micellar gels – the transparent packaging shows the clarity or colour of the product.

Good to know

• Preparation before filling – wash the bottle and cap before first use, disinfect with isopropanol or ethanol and allow to dry completely. Moisture in the packaging could impair the stability of the product.
• Filling temperature – PET is not designed for hot filling. Allow emulsions and gels to cool to room temperature before filling, otherwise the bottle wall may deform.
• Essential oils and solvents – for products with a higher proportion of essential oils, alcohol or other solvents, we recommend verifying the behaviour of both the PET and the cap with the specific formulation, in particular the seal integrity and the appearance of the packaging after several weeks.
• Reuse – the set can be refilled after thorough cleaning. Before reuse, check that the disc top seals properly and closes correctly.
• With transparent packaging, bear in mind that the colour of the contents will affect the appearance of a clear label.
• Recycling – the bottle is made of PET and the cap of PP; once empty, separate them and hand them in for plastic recycling.

Caps with the same neck type as stated in the parameters, and other ready-made combinations, can be found in the Handymade range. For your own combination, we recommend verifying the seal, dispensing, and packaging behaviour with the specific formulation.
