A 10 ml amber bottle with a black cap is a common format for e-liquids, flavour concentrates and other small-volume liquids. This guide covers what to check when choosing one, and which alternatives suit different products. Why amber? Amber-tinted containers reduce the amount of light that reaches the contents. Light, together with heat and air,…
We have changed the way we close the plastic bags that protect our droppers in storage and transport. The new ties open by hand and carry a unique serial number and a barcode. It is a small change, but it affects both handling at the customer’s site and how we keep track of packed goods….
The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), Regulation (EU) 2023/988, replaced the General Product Safety Directive 2001/95/EC. It entered into force in June 2023 and has applied since 13 December 2024. If you buy droppers or dropper bottles for cosmetics, essential oils or similar products, it helps to know how the regulation affects your packaging choices….
Packaging.si supplies packaging machinery alongside droppers, pipettes and bottles. Before buying any machine for a filling or packing line, check that it is correctly CE marked and that the documentation is complete. This article explains what CE marking means for packing machinery and what to ask a supplier. What CE marking means for machinery CE…
Graduated glass pipettes carry a printed scale that sits close to the liquid being dosed. For food supplements, cosmetics, essential oils and pharmaceutical products, buyers therefore often ask whether the printing contains heavy metals such as lead or cadmium. This article explains why the question matters and what documentation to ask for. Why printed scales…
Droppers and their components are often supplied in polyethylene inner bags inside cartons. The bag keeps dust and handling residue away from teats, collars and pipettes between assembly and filling. For pharmaceutical and other regulated products, it is worth checking what the bag is made of and what documentation exists for it. Why an inner…
When you choose dropper packaging for oils, serums or pharmaceutical-type products, the technical documentation matters as much as the product. It helps you check that parts fit together, that materials suit your formulation and that your own compliance file is complete. This article explains which documents are usually relevant for droppers, rubber teats, collars, glass…
The most common problems with droppers for pharmaceutical and similar bottles are leakage, poor suction, dripping, teat deterioration, inaccurate dosing, contamination and difficulty opening child-resistant closures. Most of them result from a mismatch between components, an unsuitable material for the liquid, or incorrect use. Knowing them in advance makes it easier to specify the right…
Yes, many parts of a dropper can be sterilized, but not all parts tolerate the same method. Glass bottles and glass pipettes withstand heat well, while rubber and TPE teats and plastic collars can be damaged by high temperatures or certain chemicals. The right method depends on the materials, so the supplier’s specification and the…
