## 1. Executive Summary & Core Engineering Scope
How to choose a toner bottle: PET for ethanol under ~30%, glass or alcohol-rated PETG above it, 100–200 ml sizes, neck finishes (20/410, 24/410 plastic; 18/400, 20/400 glass), flip-top, disc-top, orifice reducer and fine-mist sprayer, QC thresholds, indicative MOQ and lead time.

A toner is water-thin — viscosity under about 100 mPa·s — so it gushes through a wide orifice, leaks through a weak seal, and often carries alcohol or acid actives that decide the bottle material for you. The choice comes down to three questions: how much ethanol, what pH, and pour or spray. Answer those and the bottle, the neck finish and the closure follow. This guide gives the sizes, the material rules, the closures and the minimums.

Use a PET bottle at 100–200 ml when the toner carries ethanol below ~30% ; above that, glass or alcohol-rated PETG , because PET swells and hazes. Water-thin bulks take a flip-top or screw cap with a small-orifice PE/PP reducer plug , a disc-top for one-hand use, or a fine-mist sprayer at 0.1–0.2 ml per shot with an SUS304 spring. Plastic necks are 20/410 and 24/410 ; glass is 18/400 and 20/400 . Stock bottles start from about 500 pieces undecorated and ~2,000 printed ; made-to-order glass carries a 30,000+ floor.

PET is the cheapest clear bottle and the default for a water-based toner — light, shatterproof, with a well-established recycling stream. It fails above ~30% ethanol: the bottle swells, hazes and deforms, and standard gaskets soften. Below 4 pH (AHA/BHA toners) acid corrodes standard pump springs and etches some coatings. Those two rules, from the compatibility matrix , decide the material before the mood board does.

Glass adds 2–3× the unit weight of plastic and breakage risk in transit, so the premium choice carries a freight and packing cost; see glass bottles for toner and essence for grades and defect allowances.

Neck notation, the Z/A/T/E/I/S/D/X drawing symbols and why the liner, not the thread, does the sealing are on neck finish and closure standards .
