Plastic Bottles & Containers

The right plastic container makes a product straightforward to fill, present and use. For Australian makers, a clear PET bottle can show a liquid, a PE sprayer can deliver a mist, and a wide-mouth jar can give a cream a more natural way to be reached. Squeeze bottles, lotion pumps and travel sizes solve still other routines. Think about how the contents should leave the container as well as how they should look on a shelf or bench.

Choose an opening for the product

Spray bottles appear in small travel and larger household formats for appropriate liquids, while pump and foaming bottles offer other dispensing actions. Squeeze bottles and sauce dispensers suit products intended to be pressed out in a more directed way. Some clear PET bottles have screw or aluminium-style caps for a simpler pour or storage format. Start with the action the user needs, then compare the bottle shapes.

Give creams and small amounts their own place

Wide-mouth plastic jars, small cosmetic pots and sample bottles sit alongside the narrower bottles. They suit contents that are better accessed through a wider opening or presented in a compact size. Clear, amber-look and frosted styles provide different visual finishes, while travel-size refillable sets bring several small containers together. Choose a form that matches both the product texture and the impression you want to give.

Build a range without forcing one shape

Food-oriented bottles for juices, sauces or spices and beauty-oriented bottles for lotions or toners share this broader collection but need different choices. Match the cap and capacity to the particular item you plan to fill. A coherent set of containers can still use different shapes when each product has a different job.
