Roll-On Bottles

Glass Roll On Bottles for Essential Oils, Perfume Oils, and Serums

What roll on bottles are used for

A roll on bottle puts a small, even amount of liquid on the skin without a spill. Roll on bottles for essential oils are a favorite of aromatherapy and wellness brands, and the same bottle is used for perfume oils, body oils, eye serums, cuticle oils, lip oils, and deodorants. Brands, makers, and salons buy empty roll on bottles to fill at their own site. The bottle is small, fits a purse, and works for retail, travel, and gift sets. Glass looks clean on the shelf, does not take on the smell of the contents, and can be recycled.

Sizes and how to measure

Roll on bottles are sold by the volume they hold. Common sizes are 5 ml, 10 ml, 15 ml, and 30 ml. 1 ounce roll on bottles hold about 30 ml, and 1 oz roll on bottles are the most popular size for body oils and perfume oils. Larger sizes, such as 50ml roll on bottles and 3 oz roll on bottles (about 90 ml), suit body oils, massage oils, and refills. Check the total height with the 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 roller must match the neck of 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):

• 5 ml: about 0.7 in wide x 2.6 in tall with cap
• 10 ml: about 0.8 in wide x 3.4 in tall with cap
• 30 ml (1 oz): about 1.2 in wide x 4 in tall with cap
• 50 ml: about 1.5 in wide x 4.6 in tall with cap
• 90 ml (3 oz): about 1.9 in wide x 5.2 in tall with cap

Glass, rollers, and caps

Glass roll on bottles come in clear, frosted, amber, cobalt blue, and green. Amber and dark glass block more light and are the usual choice for essential oils. The roller is a ball held in a small plastic insert that snaps into the neck. Balls are made of glass, stainless steel, or plastic. A glass ball feels smooth and cool, a steel ball is strong and easy to clean, and a plastic ball suits low cost orders. The cap can be black, white, gold, or silver. Essential oils can affect some plastics over time, so test your formula in the roller and the cap before a large order.

Printing, coating, and finishes

Custom roll on bottles can carry a logo in several ways. Screen printing puts one or two colors straight on the glass and lasts well, and white ink stands out on amber glass. 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 frosted or colored coating can match your brand. Bulk roll on 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, essential oil, or fragrance product, the label must carry the text that the law requires for your product, such as ingredients, net contents, and warnings. Essential oil blends are often used on the skin, so the right dilution and warnings matter. 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.
