Clear pharmaceutical glass with a plastic screw cap is the most everyday yet most practical pairing: the thick-walled apothecary glass provides a durable, chemically inert container, while the lightweight plastic cap offers comfortable, repeatable opening and closing. This 36-piece pack of 200 ml bottles is intended for small businesses, makers, and home creators who fill tinctures, hydrosols, decoctions, and liquid cosmetics for their own brand or personal use, and who want a bottle in which the colour and clarity of the contents are clearly visible.
What is included in the 36-piece pack
The pack contains 36 clear (water-clear) pharmaceutical bottles and 36 plastic screw caps. Each bottle has a nominal capacity of 200 ml, a height of approximately 180 mm, a diameter of 60 mm, and an empty weight of around 220 g per piece. The total gross weight of the pack is close to 8.7 kg. The neck has a standard threaded design, so the cap fits securely and precisely.
Characteristics of clear pharmaceutical glass
Clear apothecary glass is thicker-walled than most cosmetic bottles, so it is more stable and durable. As glass, it is chemically neutral: it does not react with the contents and does not leach plasticisers or other migratable substances. Transparency makes the colour, any sedimentation, or suspension character of the contents continuously visible — which is particularly practical for liquid cosmetics and botanical extracts. Light-sensitive preparations should be stored in a dark cupboard or box.
Details of the plastic screw cap
The plastic screw cap is a lightweight, shatter-resistant, and quickly handled solution. Its internal liner seals the neck, so under normal conditions liquid contents do not leak. The threaded design allows secure repeated closing and opening, the cap does not rust, and it is less sensitive to the alcohol content of tinctures than some more delicate material types. For long-term storage of strong solvents — such as concentrated citrus essential oils — an aluminium cap is the better choice.
Areas of use
- Bottling tinctures and alcoholic botanical extracts.
- Storing hydrosols, floral water, and herbal decoctions.
- Liquid cosmetics — facial toner, micellar water, hydrating essence.
- Liquid household cleaners, vinegar-soda blends.
- Homemade syrups, honey-herbal solutions.
Cleaning and recycling
Before first use, rinsing with warm water and a neutral dish soap followed by thorough drying is recommended. For persistent odour residue or oily film, clean 70% ethanol is an effective solvent. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high temperature and long wash cycle may prematurely age the plastic cap. The glass and plastic cap, collected separately, are both recyclable.
