White Plastic Bottle, Silver Cap, 150 ml

White plastic bottle with silver plastic cap, 150 ml

Ready-made packaging for liquid cosmetics of your own making: a white PET bottle with a nominal volume of 150 ml and a matte silver screw cap. White plastic reduces the amount of light that passes through, so the bottle can also hold light-sensitive contents, such as oil blends with essential oils or toners with plant ingredients. The bottle is light and unbreakable, which you will appreciate when packing for trips, in the bathroom and when selling smaller batches.

The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products. Only the bottle has a separate certificate for direct food contact; the cap does not, so the set as a whole is intended for cosmetics.

Suitable uses

The cap has no dispensing element, so the contents are poured out of the bottle. The choice of suitable products reflects this:

• Facial toners and floral waters – the liquid is poured onto a cotton pad or into the palm, and the white plastic also reduces light exposure.
• Massage and body oils – a volume of 150 ml lasts for several weeks of use.
• Make-up removers and micellar waters – thin, water-based formulations that are poured out in small amounts.
• Hair tonics and rinses – products that need no pump or sprayer.
• Travel and trial sizes – a smaller amount from a larger batch without decanting into glass.

The bottle is not suitable for thick creams or balms, as the contents are hard to get out through the neck.

Filling and volume

The nominal volume is the amount the bottle is designed to hold during normal filling. The total volume of the bottle up to the brim is larger. The difference provides a reserve for the closure and for expansion of the contents when the temperature changes, for example during transport or in a warm bathroom. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim.

Good to know

Before the first filling, rinse the bottle and the cap, disinfect them with ethanol or isopropyl alcohol and leave them to dry completely. Residual water in the packaging shortens the shelf life of water-based formulations. Repeat the same procedure before each further use; after thorough washing, the bottle can be refilled.

PET deforms with heat. Pour in the finished product only after it has cooled to room temperature, never hot straight from the pot. For formulations with a high proportion of essential oils, alcohol or other solvents, we recommend testing how the plastic and the seal behave on a single bottle before you fill the whole batch. The cap is made of PP and LDPE. After filling, turn the bottle upside down and leave it for several hours to confirm that it is leak-proof with your specific formulation.

The bottle has a 24/410 neck finish. Closures with the same neck type, as well as ready-made bottle and closure combinations, are available in the Handymade range. If you combine parts yourself, we recommend checking the seal, the dispensing and the behaviour of the packaging with your formulation.

The bottle is made of PET and the cap of PP and LDPE; once separated, both parts go into plastics recycling.
