Squeeze bottles are specified by three things: the volume, the resin, and the dispensing cap. Get the cap wrong and the product either floods out or will not come out at all. Here is how the three decisions fit together for condiments, sauces and other viscous products.
Squeeze bottle sizes we mould
| Range | Volumes | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 60 ml, 100 ml, 150 ml | Travel, single-serve, samples |
| Medium | 250 ml, 350 ml, 500 ml | Retail and standard kitchen use |
| Large | 750 ml, 1 L | Foodservice and bulk dispensing |
Cap options and what they dispense
- Flip-top caps — one-hand operation; the usual choice for ketchup and sauces
- Disc-top caps — controlled flow; good for dressings, syrups and thinner sauces
- Sports caps — high flow; for drinks rather than thick product
- Inverted caps — let the bottle stand upside down so thick product sits at the nozzle and dispenses straight away
Why HDPE is the standard resin for squeeze bottles
HDPE is used for the great majority of squeeze bottles because it flexes and recovers without cracking or leaving a permanent crease. It also has good chemical resistance, keeps moisture out, and is economical at volume. We mould food-grade HDPE that complies with FDA food-contact requirements, free of BPA. Microwave-safe and dishwasher-safe options are available depending on the grade.
Where a product is filled hot, PP is usually the better choice — see the PP bottle range for the temperature range.
Typical applications
Ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, honey, syrup, salad dressing, mayonnaise and squeeze cheese. The same bottle format also works for cosmetic gels, hair colour and industrial liquids, where controlled dispensing matters more than appearance.
