150ml PET Bottle with Lid

Because PET containers are lightweight, durable and shatterproof, they’re a great solution for an assortment of products, both water-based and dry. This includes supplements and cosmetics (lotions, powders, pills, shampoos) and food products (spices, flour, sauces, etc.). Please make sure to test the container with your product as usage is case-sensitive.

That’s right! Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is a fully recyclable material. After serving its purpose, a bottle made from this type of plastic can be transformed into a different container or used as a component in clothing, homeware, and much more.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) recognise PET plastic as safe for food packaging. It’s best to keep your PET containers in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight.

PET plastic is completely impervious. This is not to say that every type of cap for your container will be waterproof. Caps without liners or with PS 22 (pressure-sensitive) liners are not the best option for liquids. If your product is water-based, opt for an EPE or induction liner instead.

The pressure-sensitive liner is typically perfect for dry or solid products: spices, powders, pills, etc. The PS 22 will maintain your dry product moisture-free but might not keep your liquids from leaking out. This liner is not waterproof because it needs a dry land area on the bottle to create a seal.

One of the most affordable options, the EPE is a multi-purpose liner that effectively prevents leaks. You can safely use it for your water-based supplements. However, keep in mind that this liner cannot create an airtight seal like the induction liner will.

The induction liner provides the most protection to your products. Attached to the container by a heat induction sealing machine, the liner creates a tamper-evident seal. It is hermetic, airtight, and impossible to reseal once opened. This liner is perfect for storing pharmaceuticals, personal care products and edible substances. You can leave your induction seal plain or have it printed with a custom message, like "sealed for your protection."

This type of cap is also referred to as a child-resistant cap (CRC), designed to be difficult for a child to open. The user must press down and twist counterclockwise. This mechanism is required for most over-the-counter medications. The cap is usually a good protection against external contaminants.
