Guest guest Posted April 4, 2000 Report Share Posted April 4, 2000 Sorry to be such a bother to you all. I had never before thought of participating in a co_op. So, I never had to ponder on: How long can I leave the eo in a plasti container? Is it best to put into smaller containers? Then, amber glass would be best for that? Any input would be appreciated. I am so excited..... donna --- /Garden of Soap > Lebermuth Egyptian Rose Geranium CO-OP > > Sold in one pound increments ONLY (sorry).

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2000 Report Share Posted April 4, 2000 Never a problem to ask, Donna! =o) As with any essential oil, you should change them over to a glass container shortly upon their arrival. I chose the plastic because it doesn't break when you ship using the USPS gorillas. <G> I had many breakages last co-op with glass and I'm gun shy. Plus it's not mint (my last co-op) so it shouldn't eat the tape of the bottles and leak. (don't laugh, B! <G>) From what I understand (and don't quote me), this bottle is supposedly good for putting in FO's. I currently have a few of my FO's in plastic and they are none-the-worse-for-wear. The choice is yours. I'm not going to commit on that one at all. Everyone has their own personal opinions. If you chose not to house a FO in it, it would be good for repackaging things such as handmade bubblebath, shower gels, shampoo, etc. It's an attractive bottle and I don't plan on putting any label on it so not to mar it if you wish to reuse and sell something in it. Did this help a bit? ~ ..:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2000 Report Share Posted April 4, 2000 Might I suggest Cape Bottle? They're on the East coast but are very reasonable, no minimum billings (except that you buy in case quantity) and - most importantly - don't overcharge you for freight. There are others out there that are wonderful but, when I checked, the freight killed me. Here's their web page: http://www.netbottle.com Ask for a catalog - it has pricing. ~ ..:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.
