PET and HDPE bottles
PET and HDPE bottles from 50ml to 3L. Check the neck size and standard (PCO 1810, BRC, 24/410) before choosing a closure.
Neck finish and cap compatibility
For bottles and jars, the cap, pump or sprayer must match the neck finish (the thread design), not just the diameter. The most common mistake is buying a "28 mm" cap for a "28 mm" bottle and finding that it does not screw on or does not seal. This guide explains the common standards and how to check compatibility.
Diameter is not enough
The number in the name (24, 28, 38 mm) is a nominal diameter. It says nothing about:
- the thread profile: the shape of the thread, the pitch (distance between threads) and the number of thread starts;
- the number of turns: how far the cap must be turned to close;
- the neck height: the distance from the lip to the shoulder or to the support ring;
- the tamper-evident bead: the position and shape of the ledge that holds the cap's tamper band, which breaks on first opening;
- the inner diameter and the sealing type: liner, sealing lip or inner plug.

How to choose PET and HDPE bottles
- Pick the volume for your product: from 50ml, for samples or concentrates, up to 3L, for larger volumes.
- Check the neck size (18, 24, 28, 38 or 48mm) and standard (BRC or PCO 1810), so it matches your chosen closure exactly.
- Pick the material: PET for transparency, HDPE for strength and opacity.
- Decide whether you need a bottle with a cap included (white, red, flip top, sport, etc.), with a pump, an atomiser or a trigger, or without a cap if you're choosing the closure separately.
- Check the available colour: white, blue, brown, grey, dark brown, clear or green.
Bottles suit cosmetics, cleaning products, household or industrial chemicals and beverages, depending on volume and material.
