Packaging Tip

Tottles received their name as the container is a cross between a tube and a bottle. This style container is typically paired with a dispensing cap on which it stands, neck side down. Tottles feature a semi-flexible construction for easy squeezing and dispensing. SKS carries HDPE and PET plastic bottles in various colors, including white, clear, natural, and amber. Our selection of tottles ranges in capacity from 1/2 oz to 8 oz for different packaging needs. Some of our tottles also feature molded hang loops on their ends. This additional feature allows the tottles to be hung on hooks for storage or have a clip added so the bottle can be attached to hiking bags, purses, and more. Tottles are a unique choice for packaging products such as lotions, sunscreens, hair care products, and more.
