White plastic bottle, matte white flip-top, 200 ml

A white plastic bottle with a matte white flip-top cap is a ready-to-use set for liquid and semi-liquid cosmetic products dispensed by squeezing the bottle directly into the palm. The bottle is made of PET, a lightweight and shatter-resistant plastic, making it practical for the bathroom, shower, and travel.

The white body limits light exposure to the contents while keeping them out of sight. Natural cloudiness or colour in the formulation therefore has no impact on the finished product's appearance. The flip-top opens and closes with one hand, and the hinged lid remains part of the cap so it cannot be lost.

Suitable applications

The nominal volume of 200 ml corresponds to a standard packaging size for shower and hair care products. Suitability is determined primarily by the consistency of the product:

• Shampoos, shower gels and liquid soaps – medium-viscosity surfactant products that flow out in a controlled dose when the bottle is squeezed.
• Conditioners and body lotions – thinner emulsions that can be dispensed from the bottle without residue on the walls.
• Massage and body oils – the small opening facilitates dispensing in smaller amounts.
• Cleansing gels and scrubs with fine particles – provided the particles pass through the dispensing opening without clogging.

Thick creams, butters and balms are better suited to jars, as they cannot be fully squeezed out of a bottle. Very thin liquids such as tonics or hydrolats flow through the flip-top quickly and are more conveniently dispensed with a spray pump.

How the flip-top dispenses and seals

The cap screws onto the bottle neck and the product is dispensed through a small opening beneath the hinged lid. The dose is determined by the pressure applied to the bottle and the viscosity of the contents. When the lid is snapped shut it closes the opening, so the bottle can stand in the shower or travel in a wash bag.

The set is suitable for contact with cosmetic products. The food-contact certificate applies to the bottle alone; the complete set with flip-top cap is intended for cosmetic use only.

If a different dispensing method is required, the Handymade range includes closures with the same neck type (stated in the specifications) as well as other ready-to-use combinations. With a custom combination, we recommend verifying compatibility, dispensing performance and packaging behaviour with the specific formulation.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume is the quantity the bottle is designed for under standard filling conditions. The total volume to the brim is the physical capacity up to the neck and is slightly larger. The difference provides headspace for the cap and for expansion of the contents with temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim.

What to know before filling

• Preparation – Wash the bottle and cap before first use, disinfect with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and allow to dry completely. Traces of water inside the container put additional strain on the product's preservation.
• Compatibility with contents – The container is not intended for aggressive chemicals. With a high proportion of essential oils, concentrated fragrance compositions or solvents, we recommend verifying compatibility by performing a test fill for several weeks.
• Labelling – Apply the label to a dry, grease-free surface. Dimensions required for label design are listed in the product parameters.
