Recycled Plastic Bottle with Transparent Flip Top, 50 ml

50 ml plastic bottle with flip top cap – complete set for gels, shampoos and liquid products

Ready-to-use bottle and cap set for products dispensed by squeezing or tilting the bottle: shower gels, shampoos, conditioners, liquid soaps, body lotions, gel serums or hand sanitising gels. It consists of a clear plastic bottle made of PET with a nominal volume of 50 ml and a clear flip top cap with a matching thread. The small volume makes it a practical solution for travel sizes, samples and test batches that you want to distribute or try out before producing larger quantities.

The clear material shows the colour and consistency of the contents, so both the customer and the producer can see how much product remains in the bottle. PET is lightweight and shatter-resistant, which you will appreciate when shipping, in the bathroom and in a travel bag.

Why choose this set

• One-handed dispensing – the flip top opens with the thumb, the contents are squeezed out and the cap snaps back. Nothing is unscrewed or lost.
• Transparency – coloured gels or products with dispersed particles look natural in a clear bottle and the remaining contents are visible at a glance.
• Low weight and durability – PET does not shatter when dropped, making it suitable for shipments and samples.
• Cosmetic suitability of the bottle – the bottle has documented suitability for contact with cosmetic products and a separate certificate for direct food contact. The cap does not come with such a declaration, so the complete set is offered for cosmetic and technical use, and we recommend verifying the cap's compatibility with your specific formulation.

How to work with the set

The flip top is designed for products of liquid to gel consistency. Very thin, watery contents (tonics, hydrolates) flow out of the opening quickly and are harder to dispense – a spray or dropper is more suitable for these. Conversely, thick creams and butters are difficult to squeeze through the small opening; a jar or pump is more suitable for those.

The nominal volume is the volume for which the bottle is intended under normal filling conditions. The total volume to the brim is the physical volume up to the neck and is always slightly larger. The difference provides a reserve for the cap and for the expansion of the contents with temperature changes, which is why the bottle should be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim. Overfilling leads to product being pushed out when closing and to poor sealing.

Good to know

• Preparation before first filling – we recommend washing and disinfecting both the bottle and cap with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and allowing them to dry completely. Moisture in the bottle dilutes the product and increases the risk of microbial contamination.
• Filling temperature – PET is not designed for filling with hot contents. Allow emulsions and gels to cool to room temperature before filling, otherwise the bottle wall may deform.
• Light protection – the clear bottle does not protect the contents from light. Store products with sensitive oils, vitamins or natural pigments in the dark, or choose amber or blue glass for them.
• Labelling – the smooth cylindrical wall takes labels well; you will find the label dimensions in the specifications. With a clear package, consider using a clear label that does not obscure the contents.
• Reuse – the bottle and flip top can be reused after washing and disinfection, as long as they are not scratched or deformed. The cap wears over time, especially at the hinge.
• Other caps – caps with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations are available in the Handymade range. For custom combinations, we recommend checking the seal, dispensing and packaging behaviour with your specific formulation.
• Recycling – the empty, rinsed packaging is sorted as plastic.
