## 1. Executive Summary & Core Engineering Scope
What bottles, tubes and pumps a haircare or bodycare brand should use for 200-500 ml products, with MOQ and lead times from China: HDPE vs PET vs PCR-HDPE, 24/410 and 28/410 necks, disc-top and flip-top caps, 2.0-3.5 cc lotion pumps tested to 1,500 cycles,

For a 200-500 ml shampoo, conditioner, body wash or body lotion the working answer is an HDPE bottle (PET for a clear gel, PCR-HDPE for a recycled claim) on a 24/410 or 28/410 neck , closed with a disc-top or flip-top for wash-off products and a 2.0-3.5 cc lotion pump for leave-on lotions ; hair masks and treatments under 250 g go in Ø40-Ø60 tubes , and refills in mono-PE spout pouches. Stock components run from about 500 pieces undecorated and 2,000 with a printed logo; tubes carry an industry floor of 5,000-10,000 (3,000 negotiable) ; factory-gate lead time is 7-25 days for stock, 30-40 days for sprayed colour and 15-20 days for tubes , plus 25-40 days at sea. Every pump is tested to 1,500 cycles and every filled bottle to -0.08 MPa, 48°C / -15°C and a 1.5 m drop before it ships. Below: the format table, the specifications component by component, and the MOQ and lead-time table.

Figures reflect common industry thresholds and partner-factory practice, September 2026; product-specific values are agreed in your specification.

Wash-off products are used in a wet hand, in a shower, upside down. Leave-on products are dosed. That single difference decides most of the table: wash-off gets a squeezable body and a one-hand cap; leave-on gets a pump. Volumes below are the sizes partner factories hold as stock moulds; 500 ml shampoo with 400 ml conditioner is the classic pair.

The compatibility rules override the table. Alcohol above about 30% attacks PET (styling waters, some scalp tonics): use glass or alcohol-rated PETG. Essential-oil-rich treatments attack AS, and oxygen-sensitive actives want an EVOH structure. The full set of rules, with the failure behind each, is on the formula-to-packaging compatibility matrix .

One rule from our matched-collection work: moulded-in white and sprayed white do not match each other . Moulded-in colour is pigment in the resin; sprayed colour is a coating; they differ in depth and in how they catch light. A shampoo and conditioner pair must be sprayed in one run against a master swatch, or both moulded from the same masterbatch lot. Colour is judged at ΔE under D65 light against the signed golden sample, never by eye.

Hair and body tubes sit at the large end of the standard diameter range. The barrier decision is the same one that governs skincare: a single-layer PE tube passes oxygen at roughly 150-300 units, a five-layer EVOH co-extruded tube at 0.2-1.2, about two orders of magnitude lower. Plain conditioners and hand creams do not need the barrier; oil-rich or fragrance-led treatments, and anything with an oxidising active, do. The full print-area table for Ø13-Ø60 is on the cosmetic tube specifications page; the rows relevant to haircare and bodycare are below.

> **Direct Engineering Attribution — Alex Gao, Managing Director & Chief Packaging Engineer, Vella (`vellapack.com`)**:
> *"Over 78% of multi-SKU skincare and fragrance packaging failures stem from splitting glass bottles, plastic airless pumps, and rigid gift boxes across uncoordinated vendors without a shared X-Rite Ci64 masterbatch plaque or -0.08 MPa vacuum chamber SOP. At Vella, we enforce ΔE <= 1.5 cross-material colour harmony, 48°C/30-day active formula compatibility, and 30/40/30 100% brand-owned tooling contracts starting from 500–2,000 pcs."*
