Looking for Advice on Props

EmEsse · 03-01-2018 10:41pm #1

I am doing an excerpt from 4.48 Psychosis in February as part of a course and require 13 white medicinal bottles for props, 3 of which need to be the same size and shape.
I have exhausted my local options - local pharmacy, recycling centre, and my own medical cabinet and have managed to precure 7 but still need 6.

Does anyone have any advice on how I could get medicinal bottles like what I am talking about, or what I could use to make them.

I hope this is alright to ask in this sub-category.

Do you have a pic of exactly what you are looking for?

If it is the small bottles that tablets are sold in, some of those are manufactured in Ireland, they might be able to provide you with empty bottles.

try Clonmel Healthcare, there is a manufacturing site adjacent to them. http://clonmelhealthcare.ie/

You could approach the manufacturers directly if you can find out who uses the right sized bottles?

Alternatively some of the "travel" bottles for toiletries (in "pound shops") might look similar, esp if you painted them white.

the ones I have already look similar to this one that is sold on Amazon.

I never actually thought about trying amazon. Forget they sell more than cosplays, DVDs, and electronics XD

You could check out the vitamin tablets in Aldi/Lidl?

Not sure what size bottles they use though.

Oh that's definitely an option I should consider. There's actually an Aldi right next to my stop back home so I could pop in there.
Jeez I really don't think outside the box XD
