Airless Pump Bottles

Airless Pump Bottles for Serums, Creams, Foundations, and Lotions

What airless pump bottles are used for

An airless pump bottle holds a thick or thin product and moves it up with a pump, so no dip tube is needed. Inside, a small piston rises as the product is used and pushes it toward the pump head. That limits how much air touches the product and lets the customer use almost all of it. Airless pump bottles for cosmetics are a common choice for face serums, moisturizers, eye creams, foundations, primers, sunscreens, hand creams, and gel treatments. Skincare and makeup brands buy them to fill at their own site. The bottle also keeps a clean look on the shelf and in the hand, because the pump has no tube.

Sizes and how to measure

Airless pump bottles are sold by the volume they hold. Common sizes are 15 ml, 30 ml, 50 ml, and 100 ml. Airless pump bottles 30ml are the most popular size for serums, and 50 ml suits creams and lotions. Check the total height with the pump and cap on, because that sets the height of your box. Measure the bottle diameter and the flat area of the label if you plan to use one. The pump must match the bottle, so send us the size you want and we confirm the match.

Example sizes (approximate and for reference only; we confirm the exact size before you order):

• 15 ml: about 1.2 in wide x 3.7 in tall with cap
• 30 ml: about 1.3 in wide x 4.9 in tall with cap
• 50 ml: about 1.6 in wide x 5.6 in tall with cap
• 100 ml: about 1.9 in wide x 7 in tall with cap

Materials and colors

Airless pump bottles come in plastic and acrylic, and in glass for some styles. Plastic bottles are light, do not break, and keep cost low. Acrylic airless pump bottles have a thick double wall that gives a clear, glass look with more strength. Glass airless pump bottles use a glass outer bottle with an airless pump system inside, and they suit brands that want the weight and feel of glass. Bottles come in white, black, clear, and frosted. Black airless pump bottles give a bold look, and frosted bottles give a soft, matte finish. The collar and pump head can be white, black, gold, or silver.

Pumps and caps

An airless pump has a pump head, a collar, and a piston inside the bottle. Each press gives a set amount of product. Some pumps have a lock that stops the pump from moving in shipping, and a cap covers the pump head. Caps can be clear, white, black, or frosted. Airless pump bottles with frosted cap have a soft matte cap that matches a frosted bottle. Some products work better with a larger output than others, so tell us how thick your product is and we suggest the best pump. Test your formula in the bottle before a large order, since thick or sticky products can behave differently.

Printing, coating, and finishes

Custom airless pump bottles can carry a logo in several ways. Screen printing puts one or two colors straight on the bottle and lasts well. Hot stamp foil in gold or silver gives a sharp metallic mark. A pressure sensitive label gives full color and room for text, and a matte or colored coating can match your brand. Bulk airless pump bottles can be printed with the same design on every bottle, or left plain if you prefer to label them yourself.

Labeling notes

If your bottle holds a skincare or personal care product, the label must carry the text that the law requires for your product, such as ingredients, net contents, and warnings. You supply the text and the layout, and we print what you send. We do not write or check label text or claims, so please have your final label reviewed by a person who knows the rules for your product.

Artwork and dieline

We send a free dieline that shows the print area on your bottle, or the size of your label. Supply artwork as a vector AI or PDF file with fonts outlined and images at 300 DPI in CMYK. Screen print and foil designs work best as single color vector files. If you have no artwork yet, free design support and a free consultation are included, and our team can help lay out the logo and the text from your brand colors. You review and approve the artwork before production starts.
