Ranging in size from 1 oz to 4 oz, blue glass boston round bottles are available with black polypropylene ribbed fine mist sprayers. The fine mist sprayers come topped with protective clear styrene hoods. The blue glass bottles provide adequate oxidation protection for light-sensitive products, as blue glass absorbs more light than clear glass bottles. Blue glass bottles with fine mist sprayers could be an excellent choice for storing products that need to be applied by misting, such as perfumes, aromatherapy blends, or air fresheners.

Packaging Tip

PE is a universal liner material used in an array of industries to help keep products fresh on store shelves. PE liners are composed of multiple layers that remain attached to the plastic cap during use. The top and bottom layers of the PE liners are composed of solid low-density polyethylene (LDPE), with a low-density foam core in the middle, creating a liner that is compatible with many products. PE lined caps offer excellent chemical resistance to acids, alkalis, solvents, alcohol, oil, household cosmetics, and aqueous products. PE liners also offer low moisture transmission rates, odor resistance, and do not alter product taste.
