HDPE Bottles

HDPE bottles are made from High Density Polyethylene, a lightweight yet extremely durable plastic known for its strength, chemical resistance, and suitability for food, pharmaceutical, household, and industrial products.

HDPE stands for High Density Polyethylene, a robust, non-toxic, food-safe plastic widely used in packaging.

HDPE is opaque, impact-resistant, and highly chemical-resistant, making it ideal for cleaners, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.

PET is clear, glossy, and best suited for applications where product visibility is important, such as cosmetics, beverages, and personal care.

Both materials are fully recyclable.

Yes. HDPE is food-safe and approved for direct contact with food and beverages. Our Duma range is FDA-approved, ensuring compliance for pharmaceutical and nutritional products.

HDPE bottles are suitable for:

• Shampoos, lotions, gels
• Supplements, vitamins, syrups
• Cleaning products and detergents
• Disinfectants, sanitisers, and chemicals
• Pet care liquids and treatments
• Household and industrial formulations

Their versatility makes them ideal across multiple sectors.

Yes. HDPE has excellent chemical resistance and safely stores many acids, bases, detergents, bleaches, solvents, and industrial formulations without degrading.

Please note: Brand owners are responsible to conduct all relevant compatibility and stability testing with their formula.

Yes. HDPE is recyclable and widely accepted in UK recycling facilities (recycling code #2).

We supply HDPE bottles in natural, white, and black as standard. Custom colours can be produced on request to match brand specifications.

Opaque HDPE (especially in black or coloured options) provides natural protection from UV and visible light, making it ideal for light-sensitive formulations.

​​Our HDPE bottle range spans from 30ml up to 3000ml, covering everything from compact travel sizes to large industrial containers.

We offer one of the widest selections of neck finishes, including:
18/415, 20/410, 24/410, 28/410, 28mm, 30mm, 31mm, 33/400, 35mm, 38/400, 43mm, 45/400, 53/400, 65mm, 95mm, and more.

This ensures compatibility with a broad range of closures and dispensers.

Yes. HDPE bottles can be paired with lotion pumps, spray triggers, mist sprayers, flip tops, disc caps, and tamper-evident closures depending on the neck size.

Standard HDPE cannot withstand autoclaving temperatures. Cold sterilisation or sanitising rinses are recommended unless using specially formulated high-temperature HDPE.

Stability tests to confirm shelf life are required and the responsibility of brand owners, to ensure their formulation is compatible and stable in the chosen pack.

Yes. HDPE is BPA-free, non-toxic, and safe for food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical use.

Virgin HDPE: Made from new resin, offering maximum clarity, purity, and performance.

Recycled HDPE (rHDPE): Made using post-consumer recycled content, providing an eco-friendly, lower-carbon packaging option.

Both options are durable and recyclable.

Yes. We offer custom moulding services for bespoke shapes, unique brand designs, embossing, and proprietary bottle styles.

Not necessarily. HDPE bottles use standard neck finishes compatible with a wide variety of closures, pumps, and dispensers. Product viscosity and application will guide the best closure choice.

For stock products, the minimum order value is £500 + VAT, offering flexibility for both small and large businesses.

HDPE provides an excellent balance of performance, durability, and cost, making it one of the most economical packaging materials available.

Absolutely. HDPE works well with:

• Pressure-sensitive labels
• Shrink sleeves
• Silk screen or digital printing
• Embossing and foil blocking

These options allow for strong branding and shelf appeal.

HDPE has exceptional impact resistance and flexibility, helping prevent cracking or breakage even during rough handling or transport.

HDPE – Best for chemicals, industrial products, and opaque applications.

PET – Best for clear, glossy, retail-ready packaging.

PP – Best for heat resistance or products requiring squeezable rigidity.

Your formulation, branding, and application requirements will determine the ideal material.

Yes. Many of our HDPE bottles, especially the Duma range, meet strict pharmaceutical packaging requirements and are FDA-approved.

Yes. HDPE offers natural flexibility, allowing controlled squeezing for lotions, gels, and other semi-viscous products—depending on the wall thickness and bottle design.
