Where can I buy 50ml glass bottles in the UK?
January 25, 2007 5:51 AM

UK Purchasing Filter: Where can I buy (for UK delivery) 50ml cylindrical glass bottles (in green or clear glass) that are watertight and can be properly sealed.

I have a liquid product that I would like to sell in 50ml meausures. I am looking for cylindrical bottles like minature wine bottles that can be sealed with a screwcap that 'cracks' when you first open it so it is obvious that its has been opened (like most commercial screwcaps on the market). Thanks in advance!

Maybe here?
You can always have a plastic seal around the screwtop.
Another cool ideal I saw recently was tiny ceramic massage oil containers with a simply cork that had been sealed with wax.

Wilder: that didn't work for me using lamp oil, a cork and paraffin wax. The oil eventually permeates the wax. It may work with other materials, but I'd be careful.

xoe26: What quantity? I did very similar research about 3 years ago, and I may be able to find something.

Might this be like airline liquor bottles?

My husband says to try Fisher Scientific (http://www.fisher.co.uk/). They are a lab supply distributor.

Not sure if this looks nice enough and if they have 'cracking' tops or not, but I had a similar problem a little while back and found that searching for scientific vial manufacturers worked best.

I ended up ordering from Pacific Vial in the States (I'm in Canada). They were really helpful even though I only wanted the minimum order and would never be ordering from them again.
