150 CC BOTTLE, AMBER GLASS, PACKER, 38-400

The 150 CC Amber Glass Packer Bottle, with its industry-standard 38-400 neck finish, represents a foundational component in premium supplement packaging. Crafted from Type III soda-lime glass, renowned for its chemical inertness, this bottle provides a robust and reliable containment solution. The amber coloration is achieved by adding iron oxide during the manufacturing process, a scientifically proven method to impart broad-spectrum light filtration capabilities. This specific tint is crucial for protecting light-sensitive compounds from degradation induced by ultraviolet (UV) and visible light wavelengths, thereby safeguarding the integrity and efficacy of enclosed nutritional products. Its compact 150 cubic centimeter volume is ideally suited for a variety of supplement forms, including capsules, tablets, and powdered formulations, ensuring efficient storage and consumer convenience while maintaining stringent quality control standards inherent to pharmaceutical-grade packaging.

The primary benefit of amber glass packaging lies in its superior photoprotective qualities, a critical factor for maintaining the stability of sensitive nutraceuticals. Scientific research, including studies on vitamin degradation, consistently demonstrates that amber glass significantly reduces the photo-oxidation of active ingredients such as vitamins A, D, E, B2 (riboflavin), and various botanical extracts. This protective mechanism is due to the glass's ability to absorb light in the UV and short-wavelength visible spectrum (below 450 nm), preventing the energy transfer that initiates degradation reactions. Furthermore, the inherent chemical inertness of glass ensures no leaching of plasticizers or other synthetic compounds into the supplement matrix, a concern often associated with certain plastic alternatives. This non-reactive property is paramount for preserving the purity, taste, and biochemical profile of the supplement over its intended shelf life, thereby contributing to consumer safety and product efficacy.

This 150 CC amber glass bottle is widely applied across the nutraceutical industry for products requiring superior protection against environmental factors. Its robust design is compatible with automated filling and capping lines, integrating seamlessly into high-volume manufacturing processes for capsules, tablets, and even some liquid formulations. Quality considerations for such packaging include adherence to pharmacopoeial standards like USP (United States Pharmacopeia) and EP (European Pharmacopoeia) for glass containers, which dictate limits for hydrolytic resistance and light transmission. These standards are underpinned by extensive material science research demonstrating the long-term stability and barrier properties of glass. The 38-400 neck finish ensures compatibility with a broad range of tamper-evident and child-resistant closures, offering a secure seal that maintains product freshness and prevents contamination, reinforcing consumer confidence in the packaged supplement's quality and safety from production to consumption.
