White plastic bottle, matte white flip-top, 150 ml

A white plastic bottle with a flip-top cap is packaging for liquid and medium-viscosity cosmetic products dispensed by squeezing the bottle: shampoos, shower gels, conditioners, body lotions and facial cleansing gels. The PET body is lightweight and shatter-resistant unlike glass, making it suitable for the shower, bathroom sink and travel. The white wall also conceals the contents, which is useful for products whose colour may change slightly over time.

The set consists of a bottle with a nominal volume of 150 ml and a matte white cap that opens and closes with one hand. The cap stays on the bottle at all times, so it won't get lost during use and the neck remains closed.

What the set is suitable for

The flip-top dispenses through a small opening, so it works best with products that flow on their own or with gentle pressure on the bottle.

• Hair care products – shampoos, conditioners and rinse-out masks with a thinner consistency, dispensed into the palm.
• Shower and cleansing products – shower gels, liquid soaps and intimate hygiene gels.
• Body lotions and light emulsions – liquid emulsions that can be squeezed out of the bottle without residue on the walls.
• Skin cleansing – cleansing gels and cleansing milks.
• Oils – massage and body oils, where the small opening makes it easier to dispense in small amounts.

Thick creams, butters and balms are difficult to squeeze through the cap opening, and some of the contents will remain in the bottle. A jar is more practical for these. Very thin liquids such as tonics or hydrolats, on the other hand, flow out quickly and are better dispensed with a spray pump.

Nominal and total volume

Nominal volume is the amount the bottle is intended to hold under normal filling conditions. Total volume to the brim is the physical capacity up to the neck and is somewhat larger. The difference between the two is headspace: it is needed for the cap to be screwed on without overflow, and for the contents to expand when the temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim.

Good to know

Preparation before first filling. Wash the bottle and cap, rinse, and disinfect with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. Allow them to dry completely before filling, as residual water in the container unnecessarily burdens the preservation of the product.

Compatibility with contents. The bottle is intended for standard cosmetic products, not for aggressive chemicals. For formulations with a high proportion of essential oils, fragrance compositions or solvents, we recommend carrying out a compatibility test: leave the filled bottle to stand for several weeks and monitor whether the shape and surface of the packaging, the seal of the cap and the scent of the product change.

Suitability for cosmetics and food contact. Both the bottle and cap are suitable for contact with cosmetic products. Food contact certification applies to the bottle separately. The set with the cap as a whole is intended for cosmetic use.

Different closure. Closures with the same neck type (stated in the parameters) and ready-made combinations can be found in the Handymade range. When combining components yourself, we recommend checking the seal, dispensing performance and packaging behaviour with the specific formulation.

The label should be applied to a dry and degreased surface, ideally before filling.
