Airports' Travel-Size Product Offerings: Shampoo Containers And More

When travelling by air, there are restrictions on the type and amount of liquids you can take on board in your carry-on luggage. The 3-1-1 rule states that each passenger may carry liquids, gels, and aerosols in travel-sized containers that are no more than 3.4 ounces or 100 millilitres. This includes toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. To abide by this rule, you can either purchase travel-sized toiletries or buy empty travel-sized containers to fill with your own products. Many airports sell these empty containers, but they can also be purchased online.

Containers for shampoo and other toiletries must be 3.4 oz or 100ml to be TSA-approved

If you're travelling with carry-on luggage, the restrictions on liquids, gels, and aerosols can be frustrating. The good news is that you can still take your shampoo and other toiletries with you, as long as they meet the required standards.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in the US has implemented the 3-1-1 rule for carry-on luggage. This means that each passenger may carry liquids, gels, and aerosols in travel-size containers that are no more than 3.4 ounces or 100ml. This restriction includes toiletries such as toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, sunscreen, hair gel, hairspray, dry shampoo, body soap, and lotion.

So, for your shampoo and other liquid toiletries to be TSA-approved, they must be in containers that are 3.4 oz or 100ml. These containers must then be placed into a single quart-size or 1-litre bag per passenger. This bag should be clear, such as a plastic bag or a clear toiletry bag, so that the TSA agent can easily see what's inside.

You can find travel-size shampoo and other toiletries that are pre-packaged according to the 3-1-1 rule. Alternatively, you can purchase empty, reusable containers that are 3.4 oz or 100ml and fill them with your favourite products. These empty containers are readily available online and at drugstores.

Remember, solids such as bar soap and solid shampoo are not included in the 3-1-1 rule, nor are medically necessary liquids.

Silicone, plastic, and squeezable containers are available

Silicone containers are a great option if you're looking for something that is leak-proof and easy to squeeze. These containers are usually soft and flexible, which makes them ideal for travel. Many silicone containers are also BPA-free, which means they are free of harmful chemicals. Some options include the LiquiSnugs Premium range, which comes with suction cups and adjustable labels, and the INSFIT travel bottles, which have labels and are designed to be leak-proof and easy to squeeze.

Plastic containers are another popular choice for travel. They are often leak-proof and easy to squeeze as well. Some plastic containers come with flip caps, which make them convenient for dispensing shampoo, conditioner, or lotion. The 8-pack Cosywell travel bottles, for example, are small plastic squeeze bottles with flip caps that are perfect for travel. If you're looking for something bigger, there are also 6.8 oz plastic squeeze bottles available with flip caps.

Squeezable containers are a must-have for travel, as they make it easy to dispense your shampoo, conditioner, or lotion. Many of the options available are leak-proof and come in packs of 4, 5, or more. The Travel Bottles for Toiletries set, for example, includes 4 3.4 oz squeezable containers that are BPA-free and leak-proof. The Morfone Travel Bottles for Toiletries set is another great option, which includes 4 3 oz leak-proof and squeezable containers.

Containers can be purchased empty or with shampoo already inside

When travelling, it's important to know the rules around what you can and can't take on a plane. The rules are different for carry-on bags and checked luggage, with carry-on bags having stricter rules around liquids, gels, and aerosols, which include toiletries.

If you're travelling with carry-on luggage, you'll need to make sure that your shampoo containers are no larger than 3.4oz or 100ml. These containers must also be placed in a clear, quart-size bag.

If you're checking in luggage, there are no rules around how many toiletries you can take. However, it's worth noting that larger bottles take up more space and weigh more.

If you don't want to bring your own containers, you can purchase travel-size shampoo and other essentials, such as toothpaste and sunscreen, that are pre-packaged and ready for travel. These can be purchased either empty or with shampoo already inside.

If you want to bring your own shampoo, you can purchase empty, reusable bottles in 3oz sizes and fill them with your preferred formula. These bottles are often made of silicone and are leak-proof and squeezable, making them ideal for travel.

So, whether you're travelling with carry-on luggage or checking in your bags, you can easily purchase travel-size shampoo containers, either empty or pre-filled, to suit your needs.

Containers are available in multipacks, ranging from 2 to 20

Containers for shampoo and other toiletries are available in a wide range of multipacks, from 2 to 20. These multipacks are perfect for travel, allowing you to store and carry your favourite shampoo and conditioner, as well as other essentials such as body wash, lotion, and sunscreen, in handy travel-sized bottles. The multipacks ensure you have enough containers for all your liquid essentials, and the small size makes them convenient for carrying in your luggage without taking up too much space.

The multipacks come in various colours, including dark colours, multicolours, and transparent bottles. You can also choose from different types of materials, such as plastic or silicone, and different types of caps, like flip caps or disc caps. Some sets even come with a clear toiletry bag, perfect for storing your liquids and easily accessing them when passing through airport security.

With these multipacks, you can easily transfer your favourite products into travel-sized containers without having to purchase travel-sized shampoo and conditioner. The small bottles are typically 3.4oz/100ml, which complies with airport liquid restrictions, and the multipacks offer great value, with some sets having been purchased by thousands of customers.

Containers are available in a variety of colours

The colours also cater to different preferences and styles. For instance, the GLAMFIELDS travel bottles come in black, a sleek and elegant option, while the Travel Size Toiletries Silicone Travel Bottles come in a sporty black, grey, and white combination.

Some colours are also used to indicate the contents of the bottle. For example, the Yamadura travel bottles are pink, which is often associated with perfumes.
