White Plastic Bottle, Silver Flip Top, 200 ml

The white plastic bottle, 200 ml, with a silver flip top (disc top) cap is designed for both rinse-off and leave-on liquid products of medium viscosity: shower gels, shampoos, conditioners, body lotions, liquid soaps and massage oils. The white PET wall lets less light through to the contents than clear plastic, which you will appreciate with formulations containing vegetable oils, extracts or fragrance ingredients that lose stability more quickly in light. The plastic is lightweight and does not break when dropped, which is why this size is often chosen for the shower, the bathroom and travel.

The set is intended for cosmetics. Both the bottle and the cap are 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 not approved for food contact.

How it dispenses

The disc top is a flat cap with a pivoting disc. Pressing the edge of the disc uncovers a small opening, the contents are dispensed by gently squeezing the bottle, and pressing the disc the opposite way closes the opening. Dispensing is quick, one-handed and does not require unscrewing, which is useful with wet hands in the shower. The silver version with a white centre matches the white bottle.

It works best with products with the consistency of a gel, shampoo or body lotion. Thin liquids such as toners or hydrosols may flow out of the opening uncontrollably; a sprayer or pump is more suitable for them. Very thick creams, on the other hand, are difficult to squeeze out.

Nominal volume and filling

The nominal volume of 200 ml is the amount the bottle is designed to hold with normal filling. The physical volume up to the neck is larger. The difference is a margin for the cap, for the air above the liquid and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled up to the nominal volume, not to the brim, otherwise the contents will be pushed out through the thread when closing or squeezing.

Suitable for products such as

• Shower gels and liquid soaps – a gel consistency is dispensed precisely through the disc top, and the bottle can be squeezed even with a wet hand.
• Shampoos and conditioners – the cap opens and closes with a single press, so you do not have to unscrew anything while washing your hair.
• Body lotions and light emulsions – the cap lets the emulsion flow smoothly, without opening the bottle.
• Massage and body oils – thicker oil blends dispense without problems; with very thin oils, we recommend checking that they do not drip.

Good to know

Before filling for the first time, wash the bottle and the cap, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave them to dry completely.

Fill the bottle only after the contents have cooled. PET is not intended for hot filling and may become deformed at higher temperatures. With formulations containing a high proportion of essential oils or solvents, check how the plastic reacts to the specific blend, especially during longer storage.

After thorough washing and disinfection, the bottle can be reused. The cap has an internal mechanism that is harder to clean, so we recommend replacing it when you change the formulation.

Closures with the same neck finish as stated in the parameters, and other ready-made combinations, can be found in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, we recommend checking the seal, the dispensing and the behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.
