Plastic HDPE bottle, clear, 1000 ml

The 1000 ml HDPE plastic bottle is designed for larger packaging of liquid and semi-liquid products – shampoos, shower gels, liquid soaps, bath foams, or refills for topping up smaller containers. HDPE is a lightweight material that does not break on impact. The bottle is therefore suitable for the bathroom, the workshop, and for transport, where glass would be unnecessarily heavy and risky. The transparent wall lets you see the colour of the product and how much remains.

Alongside finished cosmetics, it is also useful in production: for storing prepared bases, solutions, or liquid raw materials that are used up gradually.

What the bottle is suitable for

• Rinse-off cosmetics in larger packaging – shampoos, shower gels, liquid soaps, and conditioners, where a litre is used up relatively quickly.
• Refill packaging – a bulk container used to top up smaller bottles with a pump or dispenser.
• Aqueous preparations – toner, micellar water, hydrolat, or a base for further processing.
• Home care products – liquid laundry detergents and cleaning agents of your own production.

Material properties in practice

HDPE is a rigid, slightly flexible plastic. The bottle wall gives slightly when squeezed, which makes it easier to pour thicker products.

The transparent wall does not protect the contents from light. Light-sensitive products are therefore better stored in a cabinet, or a dark container should be chosen for them.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume is the quantity the bottle is designed for during normal filling. The total brim volume is the physical volume up to the neck and is slightly larger. The difference between them provides headspace for the cap or pump and for expansion of the contents with temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim.

Good to know

Before filling for the first time, wash the bottle, sanitise it, and leave it to dry completely. Residual water in the bottle unnecessarily burdens the preservation of the product.

Caps with the same neck type as well as ready-made bottle-and-cap combinations are available in the Handymade range. When combining components yourself, we recommend verifying leak-tightness and dispensing behaviour with your specific formulation.

Concentrated essential oils, fragrance compositions, and organic solvents are not suitable for long-term storage in HDPE. Finished products with standard fragrance dosing are fine.

A label adheres better to the flexible wall when applied to a degreased, dry surface and to a filled bottle. The empty bottle is recycled as plastic.
