White Plastic Bottle, Transparent Flip Top, 150 ml

# White plastic bottle with clear flip top, 150 ml

This white plastic bottle with a capacity of 150 ml and a clear flip top cap is designed for liquid and semi-liquid cosmetic products dispensed straight from the bottle. It suits shower gels, shampoos, conditioners, liquid hand soaps, body lotions and cleansing oils. The cap opens in a single movement and the contents flow out through a small opening, so you can use the bottle with one hand, even in the shower.

The bottle is made of PET and is lightweight, so you can take it travelling without worry, use it for smaller homemade batches or for samples for customers. The contents are not visible through the white wall, which gives products for sale a clean, uniform look.

The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products. Only the bottle on its own has a certificate for direct food contact; the flip top cap does not have one. The set as a whole is therefore intended for cosmetic products.

How the set works

• Bottle – white PET with a 24/410 neck finish, which also fits other closures with the same thread.
• Flip top cap – clear polypropylene (PP) with a 24/410 thread. The lid opens with your thumb and snaps back shut when pressed, so the opening stays closed when not in use.
• Dispensing – the contents are released by tilting the bottle and squeezing it gently. Gels, lotions and oils flow best. Thick creams, butters or pastes will not pass through the opening; a jar or a pump is more suitable for them.
• Clear lid – you can see whether the opening is clean and whether dried product is building up in it.

Nominal and total capacity

The capacity of 150 ml is nominal, that is, the amount the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The total capacity up to the rim of the neck is somewhat larger. The difference is a reserve for the cap and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. Fill the bottle to the nominal volume, not to the rim. If you fill it to the neck, part of the product is pushed into the thread when you close it, and the cap then seals less well.

Preparation before filling and reuse

Before the first filling, wash the bottle and the cap, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or ethanol and leave them to dry completely. Moisture in an empty bottle would become part of the product and put a strain on the preservative system.

The bottle with a flip top can be used repeatedly. After emptying, rinse it thoroughly with warm water, clean the opening in the lid and leave both parts to dry with the lid open. Repeat the disinfection before the next filling. Once the lid has been opened many times, check that it still snaps shut firmly.

Good to know

• Changing the closure – if the flip top does not suit a given product, you will find other closures with a 24/410 neck finish, as well as ready-made combinations, in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, check the tightness and dispensing with your specific formulation.
• Not for sprays – the flip top dispenses the contents in a stream or in drops. For spraying toners and facial waters, choose a bottle with a sprayer.
• Contents out of sight – you cannot see through the white wall how much product is left. This does not matter for products for sale; for your own use, expect to shake the bottle from time to time.
• Recycling – the bottle is made of PET and the cap of PP; separate them before disposal and put them in the plastics bin.
