I am looking for pump-top bottles.

[Adrian]

Specifically, 2 ounce and 4 ounce bottles - and I can't find any! I have a few that I got in a package at a dollar store. They were 5 ( 2 oz.bottles) for a dollar - too bad they didn't have more packages!!! I have made a really nice aromatherapy oil that I like to use, and have had some requests for it. I have been thinking that I should offer aromatherapy as an add-on charge, making their specific blend in a 2 ounce bottle and then leaving the remaining oil with them.

I guess I could use the flip tops, but really love the pump dispenser for giving a massage. And I guess I can use 4 ounce bottles, but I'd have to charge more for the aromatherapy add-on if I was leaving them with that much of my oil. And I *guess* I could just take it back home with me and not leave them anything, if I can't find the right bottles.......but I have this idea.... : I want to do it MY way!!!! Any ideas? (I googled pump bottles and came up with baby bottles and breast pumps, LOL! I did find more along the lines of what I want, but not THE bottles I want!) TIA!

Did you check http://www.massagewarehouse.com ? I know they sell bottles, but I'm not sure if they sell 2-4 oz pumps.

Oh yes, I always try massage warehouse first! Their pump tops are available for the 8 ounce bottles and larger. But thanks - I love that site!

PS-sounds like a good idea

Thank you......I think that is good - does this mean the price is for a dozen?

bottle, clear w/pump 4oz
Item Number: 10-01190
Package Size: dozen
4 oz. Clear Bottle with Pump

Price: $11.95
*Quantity Discounts Available

Qty:

$1 each isn't tooooooo bad. What price would I make the aromatherapy, if I was including 4 ounces of oil with the essential oils in it?

hey sharon, if you really like the dollar store 2 oz. bottles that you've purchased i could look at my dollar stores here for you. of course if you find them somewhere else sooner that you could order that would be great but if you're looking specifically for 2oz and can't find 'em, we have TONS of dollar stores here. i'll check and see what they have and let ya know! maybe i won't even have to ship them for you. i could drop them off as i make my through WI.

That is a brilliant idea, Terab! Meeting up with you would be WAY more fun than having the UPS guy drop them off, too! (And I LOVE the UPS deliveries, lol!) Please do look, and let me know if you find some!

hey sharon, i looked at 2 dollar stores so far but the only 2oz bottles that i've found have been with a regular twist-off top. they come in a package of 3 for $1. i'll keep checking!

Yeah, the price is $11.95 for a dozen. As far as getting a cheaper bottle from the dollar store, maybe you can find a separate pump for sale that would mate with the bottle. You can always cut the stem off of the pump, if you find pumps and necks of bottles that work together. However, one problem I can think of, is that a 2 oz. bottle is pretty small and the pump top would make it top-heavy, and would fall over, if not totally full of oil. Have you found that to happen?
As far as the pricing, I would figure out how much $ the 2 oz of oil costs you, plus the bottle once you settle on one, and then figure out how much you want to mark up the service. For some reason I want to say that $10 would be a good price, I would consider paying that if I got to take a little home with me.?? I guess it depends on how much your costs add up to.

One other idea for finding bottles/pumps is to check with a health food store or co-op in your area that sells bulk products. They usually sell bottles and pumps for people to fill. Maybe they have the size you need, or have some contacts.

Speaking of pump bottles.... does anyone know of a supplier of bottles that will not leak when tipped on their side?? I have pumpers from Massagewarehouse.com and they do leak. :

 

[James B]

have you tried bottlesandjars.net? They seem to have a plethera of containers! Some 2 oz sizes also...if it is an oil, would the spray top work for you also???? just a thought.

The one bottle I never have a problem with was from Custom Craftworks. The only problem is that I cannot get another. It comes with the holster, but they don't sell the bottle separately! I don't need a supply of holsters!! It's a great bottle.....but not worth $20 lol.

I think I've settled on the disk top or flip top. I can't find the 2 ounce size with the pump top anywhere. The spray top doesn't appeal. I think I'd have dreams about trying to get enough oil out fast enough!!

 

[Pompal 09.]

There's also Specialty Bottle - http://www.specialtybottle.com/

They have all sorts of bottles - glass, plastic, pump, no-pum, bottles for aromatherapy and even some tins.

Decent prices and pretty fast shipping. Oh! They also have shrink wrapping. I use that when making oils for people so that they won't leak.
