Yes, the glass packaging can be used repeatedly if hygiene principles are observed. Before each new filling, we recommend thoroughly cleaning the bottle and then disinfecting it with a suitable alcoholic preparation, for example using the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. Only after it has completely dried and aired out is the bottle ready for the next filling.

Before first use, it is advisable to rinse the bottle with clean water and a mild cleaning agent, then rinse thoroughly so that no detergent residues remain. After washing, we recommend disinfecting the inner surface with alcohol, for example using the preparations IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. Allow the bottle to dry thoroughly at room temperature, ideally upside down on a clean surface.

Glass bottles are generally very suitable for formulations containing essential oils as well as for hydroalcoholic solutions, because glass is among chemically stable materials. However, it is recommended to always test the specific formula in a smaller trial amount and verify whether the chosen type of closure or dispenser is compatible with the viscosity, volatility and character of your blend. In the case of very concentrated or non-standard formulations, the compatibility test is particularly important.

If you decide not to use the bottle any longer, we recommend recycling it in accordance with the type of material specified in the product parameters on Handymade.sk. Glass parts can generally be sorted into the container designated for glass after removing any remaining contents and separating any plastic components (cap, pump). Plastic or metal parts belong in the appropriate collection containers according to local waste sorting rules. Before handing the packaging over for separate collection, it is advisable to rinse it at least lightly so that no larger product residues remain inside.

To select suitable packaging, you can use the advanced filter located at the top of the page after clicking on a specific packaging category. With the help of the filter, you can clearly narrow down the range according to parameters such as neck type, size, colour or material. This way you will quickly find bottles, jars, pots or medicine bottles that meet the technical requirements of your product as well as the visual style of your brand.

The choice of closure depends mainly on the consistency and the method of use of your product. For oils and serums, droppers or pipettes are practical; for lighter aqueous solutions, spray heads may be suitable; and for thicker preparations or targeted dosing, screw caps with a smaller pouring opening. When choosing the closure, always check that the technical parameters (neck type and compatibility) are identical to those of the given bottle, and we recommend performing a trial filling to verify tightness and dosing comfort.
