Rounded Clear Plastic Bottle, Type B, White Disc Top Cap, 300 ml

A clear 300 ml PET bottle with a white disc top cap on a 24/410 neck finish makes a ready-made set to fill with shower gels, shampoos, conditioners, liquid soaps or body lotions. The clear plastic shows the colour of the contents and how much is left in the bottle. The cap opens and closes with a single press of the disc, so you can dispense the product with one hand, even in the shower.

The PET bottle is lightweight, does not break when dropped, and its wall can be squeezed to push the contents out through the cap opening. Both parts of the set are declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products. The set is not declared for contact with food.

How to use the set

The disc top cap has a rocking disc on top. Pressing one side tilts the disc and uncovers the dispensing opening; pressing the other side closes it again and seals the opening. The product is dispensed by squeezing the bottle, and the amount depends on the consistency of the contents and on how hard you squeeze. It is best suited to liquid to medium-thick products: gels, shampoos, liquid soaps, body lotions and lighter conditioners. A thick cream is hard to push through the opening. Thin, watery contents such as toners or hydrosols run out of an open disc too easily; a pump or sprayer is usually more suitable for these.

Filling and volume

The nominal volume of 300 ml is the volume the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The actual volume up to the brim of the neck is larger, and the difference provides headroom for the cap and for expansion of the contents with temperature changes or when the bottle is squeezed. Fill only up to the nominal volume. If filled to the brim, the contents would overflow when the cap is screwed on and would be dispensed uncontrollably when the bottle is squeezed.

Good to know

• Light – the clear wall does not protect the contents from light. Store products with light-sensitive ingredients away from direct sunlight or choose coloured packaging.
• Composition of the contents – do not expose the packaging to aggressive chemicals. With a high proportion of essential oils or fragrance compositions, and with alcohol-based preparations, test how the packaging behaves with your specific formulation on one bottle over a period of several weeks.
• Tightness – the disc top seals when the disc is closed. Before shipping or travelling, test the set with your specific product, and pack the bottle in a resealable bag in your luggage.
• Reuse – after thorough washing and disinfection, both the bottle and the cap can be filled again.
• Recycling – the bottle is made of PET and the cap of polypropylene. Separate them before disposal and sort each part as plastic.
• Other closures – other closures from the Handymade range also fit the 24/410 neck, as do ready-made sets with other caps. If you make your own combination, check the tightness, dispensing and how the packaging behaves with your specific formulation.
