White Plastic Bottle, White Plastic Disc Top with Matte Rose Gold Aluminium Collar, 250 ml

The white plastic 250 ml bottle with a matte rose gold disc top cap makes a ready-made set for dispensing liquid and medium-thick cosmetic products. The bottle is made of PET, is lightweight and unbreakable, so it suits the bathroom, where the packaging is handled with wet hands. The cap opens by pressing the edge of the disc, the contents are dispensed by squeezing the bottle, and it closes again in a single movement, without any unscrewing.

The opaque white wall of the bottle limits the amount of light reaching the contents. The aluminium shell of the cap has a matte rose gold finish, and the centre of the disc is white to match the bottle. The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products.

What the set is suitable for

The disc top cap dispenses the contents in a continuous stream, so it suits products that are poured into the palm or onto a washcloth:

• Shower gels and liquid soaps – one-handed dispensing, with no need to unscrew the cap while showering.
• Shampoos and conditioners – thicker textures pass through the opening without splashing; simply turn the bottle over and squeeze it slightly.
• Body lotions and light cream emulsions – as long as they stay liquid enough to be squeezed out of the bottle.
• Massage and body oils – the opaque bottle limits their exposure to light, and the disc opening closes without drips running down the thread.

Very thick creams, cosmetic butters and balms are difficult to dispense through a disc top. Jars or containers with a wide neck are more suitable for them. Thin water-based products, such as toners, pour out of the opening quickly, and a fine mist sprayer dispenses them more precisely.

How to use the disc top cap

The cap is screwed onto the neck of a bottle with a 24/410 neck finish. To open it, simply press the marked edge of the disc with your finger; the opposite side lifts and uncovers the opening. Turn the bottle upside down or tilt it, and squeeze the wall to push the contents out. After use, press the disc back flat and the opening closes. The size of the dose is controlled by the force of the squeeze. With thicker formulations, it makes sense to fill one bottle as a test and check how the product passes through the opening.

Filling and volume

The nominal volume of 250 ml is the volume the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The total volume up to the neck is larger, and the difference provides room for the cap and for slight expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled up to the nominal volume. If the bottle is overfilled, part of the contents is pushed into the thread when the cap is screwed on, and the disc is then harder to keep clean.

Good to know

• Leak tightness during transport – the disc top closes by pressing the disc down, but it has no lock against accidental opening. If the set travels in a bag or is being shipped, we recommend checking the tightness with your specific formulation beforehand.
• Material and contents – PET withstands both the water and oil phases of common cosmetics, but it is not intended for aggressive chemicals. For formulations with a higher proportion of essential oils, alcohol or solvents, we recommend testing in one bottle and monitoring the wall and the cap over several weeks.
• Cap care – clean the matte aluminium shell with a soft cloth and no abrasive products, so that the surface does not get scratched. The inner PP disc can be dried after rinsing and used again.
• Reuse – both the bottle and the cap can be refilled repeatedly after thorough washing and disinfection. Check that the thread is not damaged before each refill.
• Other closures – closures with a 24/410 neck finish from the Handymade range fit the bottle, as do the ready-made bottle + closure combinations. If you make your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness and dispensing with your specific formulation.
• Recycling – the bottle is made of PET and the cap combines aluminium with PP. Separate them before disposal and sort each one on its own.
