White Plastic Bottle, White Plastic Disc Top with Matte Rose Gold Aluminium Collar, 200 ml

The white plastic bottle with a capacity of 200 ml and a disc top cap in matte rose gold makes a complete set for cosmetics that are dispensed by squeezing the bottle. It suits shampoos, shower gels, conditioners, body lotions and liquid hand soaps, that is, products that should flow smoothly without spilling. The bottle is made of PET, is lightweight and does not break when dropped. The opaque white plastic shields the contents from light and from view, which you will appreciate with emulsions whose colour is not completely even. The cap combines aluminium and PP, has a matte rose gold finish with a white centre, so on the shelf it looks like a finished retail product without any further decoration.

How the disc top cap is used

The top of the cap is a flip-open disc. Pressing one side tilts the disc and opens the dispensing hole on the opposite side. You then squeeze out the contents by gently pressing the bottle and push the disc back down, which closes the hole. Everything can be done with one hand, even a wet one, which is why this type of closure is used for bathroom products.

You control the amount dispensed by how hard you squeeze the bottle, not by the closure. With a thicker mixture less comes out, with a thinner one more. Unlike a pump, a disc top does not have a fixed dose, so the customer squeezes as much into the palm as they need.

What the set is suitable for

• Shampoos and conditioners – a medium-thick consistency flows smoothly through the opening, and the closed disc prevents leaking when the bottle lies in the shower.
• Shower gels and liquid hand soaps – thickened surfactant bases dispense cleanly, without dripping down the side of the bottle.
• Body lotions and lighter emulsions – if they can be squeezed out of the bottle, 200 ml corresponds to a common pack size for daily body care.
• Make-up removal gels and cleansing emulsions – the volume is enough for several weeks of use.

Very thin liquids, for example toners, hydrosols or facial waters, are not suitable for a disc top. They easily leak out if the bottle is squeezed by accident or turned over, and they are dispensed more precisely with a fine mist sprayer or a dropper. Thick creams and cosmetic butters, on the other hand, are difficult to squeeze out of a bottle and remain on the walls, so a jar or container is more suitable for them.

Filling and volume

The figure of 200 ml is the nominal volume, that is, the amount the bottle is intended for with normal filling. The physical volume of the bottle up to the neck is larger. The difference serves as a reserve for 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. If you fill it to the neck, part of the contents will be pushed into the thread when the cap is screwed on and may leak out when the disc is first opened.

Before the first filling, we recommend washing the bottle and the cap, rinsing them, disinfecting them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and letting them dry completely. Residual water in the neck or in the thread would introduce unwanted moisture into the finished product and needlessly burden the preservative system.

Good to know

The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products, and the declaration of conformity is available with the product. Only the bottle has a separate certificate for direct contact with food. The disc top cap does not have one, so the set as a whole is intended for cosmetics and is not used for food.

PET is not recommended for undiluted essential oils, fragrance compositions in pure form or products with a high proportion of alcohol or solvents. Finished cosmetics with fragrance ingredients at the usual percentages do not harm the bottle, while a pure concentrate may over time cloud or soften the plastic. For a product with a higher proportion of oils or fragrance ingredients, let the filled bottle stand for several weeks and monitor the tightness of the closure and the condition of the plastic.

The bottle has a 24/410 neck finish, the same as the cap in this set. You will find further closures with this neck finish and ready-made combinations in the Handymade range. For your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness, dispensing and behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.

After thorough washing and disinfection, the bottle can be reused. However, the disc of the cap may lose its tightness after longer use, so check it each time you refill. For recycling, the aluminium and PP cap is separated from the PET bottle, and each part goes to collection according to its material.
