White Plastic Bottle, Silver Cap, 100 ml

Plastic bottle, white, with silver cap, 100 ml

This white PET bottle with a volume of 100 ml and a matte silver screw cap is a ready-made packaging solution for liquid and thin cosmetic products. It is suitable for hydrosols, toners, face waters, body lotions and oils, as well as for travel-size shampoo or shower gel. The white wall lets through less light than a clear bottle. The plastic is lightweight and does not break when dropped, which you will appreciate in the bathroom, in a travel bag and when shipping to customers. The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetics.

What the bottle is suitable for

• Hydrosols and toners – water-based products are dispensed by tilting the bottle onto the palm or a cotton pad. The cap closes them tightly between uses.
• Face and body lotions – thinner emulsions that flow easily out of the bottle. Thick creams would be difficult to dispense, so a jar is more suitable for them.
• Vegetable and make-up removing oils – the white wall reduces exposure to light, which is harmful to oils.
• Travel packs and samples – trial sizes of shampoos, gels or liquid soaps.
• Uniform look of a product range – a white bottle with a matte silver cap has a neutral appearance, suitable for adding your own label.

Filling and handling the packaging

Before the first filling, wash the bottle and the cap, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and let them dry completely. Residual water would dilute the product and increase the risk of microbial contamination.

The 100 ml figure is the nominal volume, that is, the volume the bottle is designed for under normal filling. The volume up to the brim is larger. The difference serves as a reserve for the thread and the cap and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim. An overfilled bottle easily leaks when the cap is tightened or in warm conditions.

The cap is tightened by hand. Before sending a parcel or travelling, lay the bottle on its side and check that nothing leaks out. Thin liquids such as hydrosols are best transported in a bag.

Good to know

The certificate for direct food contact applies to the bottle only. The cap does not have such a declaration, so the set as a whole is intended for cosmetics. If you want to use the bottle for homemade oils or syrups, choose a closure with a food-contact declaration.

PET normally withstands water-based products, emulsions and vegetable oils. For products with a high proportion of essential oils, solvents or fragrance compositions, always check how the packaging behaves with your specific formulation. Some ingredients can soften the plastic over time or leave an odour in it. The bottle is not intended for hot filling, so let emulsions and soaps cool down before filling.

The bottle is made of PET and the cap of PP and LDPE. For recycling they are separated and each part is sorted according to its material. After washing and disinfection, the packaging can be reused, provided it is not damaged and no odour from the previous contents remains in it.

The cap is a screw cap and the contents are poured out by tilting the bottle. If you need to dispense differently, other closures with the same thread type also fit the 24/410 neck finish. You can find ready-made bottle and closure combinations in the Handymade range. When creating your own combination, check the tightness, the dispensing and how the packaging behaves with your specific formulation.
