Core procurement decisions

Start with the decision that can change the whole project

1 · Application

Define the fill and process first

Identify the product, nominal fill, destination and any carbonation, filling-temperature, thermal-process, fragrance or formula-contact requirements. These inputs can change the bottle specification, closure and validation plan.

2 · Pack architecture

Lock bottle and closure together

Select the stock or custom bottle route, then match the exact neck finish, closure, liner or gasket. Review decoration, filling-line handling and export packing with the same production-intent configuration.

Buyer FAQ

Questions to resolve before requesting samples

What is the MOQ for custom glass bottles?

MOQ depends on the exact bottle, current stock, glass color, closure, decoration and whether a new mold is required. Share the target specification and quantity so the applicable starting quantity can be confirmed.

Should a new brand use a stock bottle or custom mold?

A stock bottle is often the lower-risk route for validating capacity, closure, decoration and filling. A custom mold is more suitable when a proprietary silhouette, embossing or project-specific geometry is essential and the project can support tooling and production setup.

Can caps with the same nominal diameter fit the same bottle?

Not necessarily. Thread profile, bead geometry, sealing surface, liner or gasket and finish tolerances must match the exact bottle and closure specifications.

What should be approved before bulk glass bottle production?

Approve the bottle identity and dimensions, capacity, glass color, neck finish, closure fit, decoration, artwork, filling-line compatibility and export packing using production-intent samples.
