How Do I Order My Bottles and Caps Online?

At eBottles.com, making your online shopping experience as easy as possible is our most important goal. So today, we’ll highlight some online features that may help you navigate our website.

For example, did you know that you can look up dimensions, including label panel size for each bottle online? Or, did you know that the neck finish tells you more than just which cap will fit the bottle?

When looking for a particular item online, start by going to our homepage at www.ebottles.com. There, you can either search by material, shop by category, or shop by item.

Once you’ve located your item, you can look up additional details regarding your item. You will see a chart that looks like this:

In the left column, you see the Size of your bottle. Note: The size is always measured in fluid ounces. If you click on the size, a new window will open that will show you the dimensions of the bottle. Click here for an example.

Next, you see a column that shows you the Color of your bottle.

The Neck Finish column shows you 2 numbers, separated with a slash. The number in front of the slash stands for the outside diameter of the bottle opening (measured in mm). To get the inner diameter of the bottle opening, you need to substract the thickness of the glass or plastic, ranging anywhere from 3 to 6 mm. The number behind the slash represents the thread style, often determining how tall the cap is (400 is short, 410 is medium, 415 is tall, 485 is for spice caps).

The In Stock column shows you whether an item is in stock.

Next, you can see all your Closure Options. These are the items that can be partnered with the bottle you selected. To understand the code for each closure, you can simply scroll down on the page and you will see an image of each closure with the code listed next to it.  

The reason why we sell our bottles and closures separately is because most bottles have a variety of caps to choose from. Plus, some of our customers prefer to purchase bottles without caps.
In the Quantity column, you will see at what quantities we offer price breaks. Please note that the Price is listed without closure. Once you add the bottle(s) to your cart, you will be asked to choose a cap on the next page.

When you are done shopping, proceed to Checkout to enter your billing, shipping and payment information. Your card will not be processed until you confirm your order, including the cost for shipping and handling. We do not charge your card until your order ships.

If you prefer, you may of course always place your order by calling us toll free at 888-215-0023. Our Customer Service representatives are standing by to answer your questions and offer their expert advice Monday through Friday from 8am – 5pm EST.

All of our bottles and jars are new and clean. They're great for anything from food to personal care products to industrial cleaners.

As always, we appreciate your valuable feedback. Please feel free to add your comments in the space provided below.
