Yes, the bottle can be used repeatedly if hygiene principles are observed. Before each new filling, it is necessary to clean the packaging thoroughly and then disinfect it with a suitable agent, for example with isopropyl alcohol or plant-based ethanol. A visual inspection of the bottle and cap is also recommended – if they are visibly damaged, do not use the packaging for refilling and recycle it according to the material type.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, it is advisable to place it in sorted waste collection according to the material specified in the product parameters. The glass bottle can usually be thrown into the container designated for glass after removing any remaining contents. The aluminium cap belongs among metal packaging, which is sorted separately according to local collection rules. Before recycling, we recommend rinsing the packaging from product residues to facilitate the subsequent processing step.

Thanks to its smaller volume, the bottle is very practical for test and presentation samples – for example serums, oil compositions or perfume blends that you provide to customers for testing. At the same time, it is also suitable for finished products in smaller packaging, such as concentrated cosmetic formulations, travel sizes or limited editions. The choice of use depends on the type of formulation and the required dosing method.

The bottle and closure combinations created directly on Handymade are designed to be functional and to seal reliably during normal use. However, for each new formulation we recommend performing your own compatibility test – fill a smaller amount of product, close the bottle properly, store it in various positions and observe sealing, material stability and the behaviour of the contents over time. This way you can verify whether the specific combination of packaging and composition meets your requirements.

When choosing packaging, we recommend using the advanced filter, which you can find at the top of the page after clicking on the relevant packaging category. In it you can clearly narrow down the range according to several parameters – for example according to neck type, size, colour or material. This will help you to find bottles, vials, jars or pots more quickly that will technically and visually meet the requirements of your product and the planned dosing method.
