White Plastic Bottle, White Plastic Disc Top with Matte Rose Gold Aluminium Collar, 300 ml

The white PET bottle with a disc top cap fitted is a set for cosmetic products that are dispensed by squeezing the bottle: shampoos, shower gels, conditioners, body lotions or liquid soaps. The opaque white wall hides the contents and limits the access of light, and PET is lightweight and does not break if it is dropped in the shower. The 300 ml volume corresponds to a common pack size for shampoo or shower gel, so the set is used for finished products intended for sale as well as for home production.

The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetics. The bottle on its own has a certificate for direct food contact; the set with this cap, as a whole, is intended for cosmetics.

How dispensing through the disc top cap works

The lid of the cap is a round disc that opens by pressing on one edge. The other side lifts up and uncovers the outlet opening, and a dose is released by squeezing the bottle. It closes by pressing on the opposite side of the disc, so the bottle can be handled with one hand, even with wet fingers. The outer shell of the cap is aluminium in a matte rose gold colour, the threaded part and the disc are made of PP, and the centre of the disc is white. The cap has a 24/410 neck finish, the same as the bottle, and it is supplied fitted.

What it is suitable for

• Shampoos and conditioners – a medium-thick consistency that flows through the opening of the disc in a controlled dose.
• Shower gels and liquid soaps – one-handed dispensing right in the shower, and the packaging does not break.
• Body lotions and lighter emulsions – squeezing the bottle releases a suitable dose, and the rest stays protected from light.
• Cleansing emulsions and face wash foams – if they have a liquid to medium-thick consistency.

For very thin contents, such as toners, hydrosols or thin oils, the opening of the disc is too large and the contents flow out of it freely. A fine mist sprayer or a pump with the same type of neck is more suitable for such products. You can find closures with a 24/410 neck finish and ready-made combinations of a bottle with a closure in the Handymade range. If you are making your own combination, we recommend checking the seal, the dispensing and the behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume is the amount the bottle is designed for in normal filling, and this is the amount declared on the finished product. The total volume to the brim is the physical volume up to the neck and is larger. The difference between them forms a reserve for the thread of the cap and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. For this reason, fill up to the nominal volume, not to the brim. If the bottle is overfilled, the contents get into the thread, the cap then seals less well, and the contents squirt out on the first squeeze.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle and the cap, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, and let them dry completely. The same procedure applies for repeated use. In that case, rinse the disc of the cap thoroughly, because residues of the previous contents remain in the opening.

For formulations with a high proportion of essential oils, ethanol or other solvents, check the behaviour of the packaging with your specific recipe. PET should not be exposed to aggressive chemicals. When pouring and wiping the bottle, make sure that coloured or oily residues do not dry on the matte aluminium shell of the cap.

The bottle is made of PET and the cap of PP with an aluminium shell. Before recycling, the cap is unscrewed and sorted separately.
