Material Guide

PP or PETG? It depends on
what's inside.

PP (opaque, matte-able) is the luxury default — takes finishes beautifully, excellent chemical resistance, available in PCR. PETG (transparent) lets consumers see formula colour and level — better for gel serums but not recommended for high-alcohol formulas.

Sourcing Intelligence

Four things most buyers never test before it's too late.

Airless bottles are mechanically complex. The piston must advance correctly, the vacuum must hold, the evacuation rate must be reliable, and materials must be compatible with your formula.

01

Pump Stroke Consistency

The piston must advance exactly one increment per pump actuation. We test 50 units per sample batch — inconsistent dispensing damages the brand experience.

02

Evacuation Rate Protocol

Fill with viscosity-matched liquid, pump to air-lock, weigh residue. Any bottle evacuating less than 93% fails our standard before production approval.

03

Material Certification

PP and PETG must carry food-contact or cosmetic-contact certifications from the resin supplier. We require the certificate — not a factory declaration.

04

Formula Compatibility

Thick actives, high-alcohol formulas and silicone-heavy textures all affect pump performance differently. We test before approving production — not after.

Questions

Frequently asked about
airless bottles.

What is the difference between airless and vacuum pump bottles?
They're the same thing. "Airless" is the consumer-facing term; "vacuum pump" describes the mechanism — a piston platform that rises as the formula is dispensed, maintaining a vacuum above the product. The result: no air contact, no dip tube, and near-complete product evacuation above 93%.

What size airless bottle is right for my serum?
30 ml is the most common serum size — enough for a 4–6 week consumer supply at standard dosing. For eye creams and targeted treatments, 15 ml is standard. For body serums and multi-use formulas, 80–150 ml. The pump output (0.2–0.5 ml per actuation) should also be matched to your recommended dose — ask us and we'll spec both together.

Can I get my airless bottle in a specific Pantone colour?
Yes. PP airless bottles can be colour-matched to Pantone or RAL references via custom spray coating or moulded colour. The spray coat gives a more premium matte or frosted finish; moulded colour is more cost-effective at higher volumes. Custom pump colours and actuator colours can also be specified separately.

What's the lead time for custom airless bottles?
For stock moulds with custom decoration: 30–45 days. For custom shapes with new tooling: 90–120 days including mould development and first sample approval. Vella manages the sample cycle and keeps you informed at each stage — typically 2–3 sample rounds before production approval.
Can airless bottles contain PCR (recycled) material?
Yes. PCR-content PP airless bottles at 30–100% recycled content are available from our partner factories, with third-party verified PCR certificates. PETG PCR is also available but with a smaller range of surface finishes. See our eco packaging page for the full sustainable options range.

How does Vella handle QC on airless bottles?
We check pump stroke consistency (50-unit test), evacuation rate (weighted-residue protocol), cap torque, decoration registration and material certification compliance. Results are documented in a QC report that ships with every order. Any batch with more than 2% defect rate is held for rework before release.
