Glass Perfume Bottles — Manufacturer & Wholesale Supplier

What perfume bottle shapes do you manufacture?

Our stock range covers the four shapes that sell most in export markets: rectangular flacons with flat or shoulder-edges, square bottles with thick bases, cylindrical bottles, and novelty moulds such as the high-heel shape. Capacity runs from 5 ml samples to 100 ml eau de parfum. Anything outside this list can be tooled to your drawing — send a 3D file or a physical sample and we quote the mould separately.

Which neck size should I choose — 13 mm or 15 mm?

13 mm is the standard for small 5–15 ml travel and sample sizes, and takes a crimp pump with a narrower collar. 15 mm is the norm for 30–100 ml retail bottles because it accepts the full range of crimp pumps, collars and metal overcaps. If you plan to sell refillable bottles, specify 15 mm screw thread instead of crimp so the customer can unscrew the pump without a machine.

Can you print or coat my logo on the bottle?

Yes — all decoration is done in-house at our deep-processing base, not outsourced. Silk-screen printing handles one to four colours and is the cheapest per unit above 3,000 pcs. Spray coating gives an opaque or soft-touch finish in any Pantone. Frosting, hot stamping in gold or silver, and laser engraving are also available. We produce a pre-production sample with your artwork before mass production so colour and registration are approved in your hands, not ours.

How much does a custom perfume bottle mould cost?

Mould cost depends on the number of cavities and the shape complexity, and it is quoted per project after we see the drawing — it is not a fixed price list. The mould is a one-time charge and stays yours; repeat orders only pay for the bottles. Typical tooling lead time is 15–20 days, then 25–35 days for the first production run. For quantities under 3,000 pcs, choosing an existing stock mould and decorating it is almost always cheaper than tooling a new one.

Can you design a perfume bottle from my idea, not just pick from a catalogue?

Yes — send a sketch, a 3D file or a competitor sample and we return a dimensional drawing within 5 working days, then a 3D render and a physical pre-production sample before tooling. Design work is included in the mould quotation; you are not charged separately for drawing revisions. For luxury positioning the usual combination is a thick-walled flacon (base weight above 180 g), a heavy zamac or aluminium cap, and either a frosted or soft-touch coated finish — that trio is what reads as premium on a shelf next to designer brands. Thin glass and a plastic cap reads as cheap no matter how good the print is.

Which perfume bottles can be refilled instead of thrown away?

Only bottles with a screw neck can be refilled, because a crimp neck is sealed onto the pump and cannot be reopened without damaging the collar. In our range the 10 ml square bottle and the 15 ml square bottle take a screw cap or a roller fitting, so a customer can unscrew, refill and reseal them; 30 ml and above are normally crimp for retail, where tamper evidence matters more than refilling. If you are building a refill line, specify screw neck at the quoting stage — the bottle body comes from the same mould, only the neck finish changes.

How are perfume bottles packed for sea freight?

Each bottle sits in an individual partition or an EPE foam tray, then goes into a five-layer export carton with a divider grid. Pumps and caps ship separately in the same carton and are assembled at your filling line, which reduces carton volume and freight cost. A 20GP container is usually more economical than a 40HQ for glass because the cargo hits the weight limit long before the volume limit.
