Spirits glass · Gin and craft spirits bottles
Four silhouettes, because your gin sells off the shelf before it sells off the label. Bore and finish published, because your cork has to fit.
Craft distillers and brand owners come to us for a bottle that looks tooled without you paying for tooling. Your four choices cover 100 ml to 750 ml (3.4 to 25 oz) in super flint, all on running moulds. They come off our Shandong lines, where 600,000 super flint pieces a day go to spirits bottles.
Four bodies that argue four different cases on a back bar. We supply all four on running moulds, so your wholesale price carries no mould cost and a first release can be one pallet.
No running-mould body carries that closure at that size. Your quotation can still cover it, because the cork finish repeats across three of these four shapes.
Craft gin lives and dies on a shelf, and three things decide whether your bottle earns its place there and stays sealed.
What is at stake
A gin shelf is dozens of clear bottles holding a clear spirit. Shape does the separating, and a body picked because it was cheapest leaves you selling a supermarket own-label look at a craft price. The shape is also the one thing a label cannot fix later.
What we supply
Your four choices run on existing moulds: a faceted diamond, a wide-shouldered ladder from 100 to 750 ml, a flat round flask and a compact straight-walled bottle. None of them costs you tooling, so your first release can look considered without a mould bill.
What has to match
A T-top cork pushes into the neck instead of driving in, so your fit is tighter than on a wine bottle and less forgiving. A bore a fraction wide gives a cork that creeps out in a warm warehouse; a fraction narrow and your bottling line fights every bottle.
What we supply
The faceted body publishes a 1.85 cm bore inside a 3.0 cm finish across all three of its sizes, so one cork covers your whole ladder. Every design ships its finish drawing with your quotation, and we price corks or glass stoppers beside the glass.
What is at stake
A ground glass stopper looks expensive in your photography, and it seals against the glass instead of into it. That suits a presentation bottle somebody opens at a table. A cork reseals more reliably over the months your bottle spends in a home bar.
What we supply
The faceted body takes a glass stopper; your other three choices take T-top corks in wood, metal or acrylic. Your quotation names which closure belongs to which body and prices both, so the presentation and the practical decision get made together.
Two closure systems cross all four bodies, and we price both in your quotation beside the glass.
Your quotation states the bore, the closure and the capsule, so your distillery signs off before glass is committed.
The commercial answers you would otherwise chase over three emails. No mould cost on running bodies, 15–20 days from confirmation, corked samples in your hand, and a pallet count printed beside your price.
Pallet or container
A running mould carries no tooling minimum, so your first release can be a single pallet, on identical terms for private-label brands and contract bottlers. A custom mould in extra-flint starts at 12,000 pieces.
15–20 days
From confirmation on running moulds, glass and closures together. A custom mould adds 30–45 days to your lead time, counted from drawing approval.
On request
Bottles go out corked, so you can pull the stopper, weigh the bottle and see the shape on a shelf before committing a batch. On the custom path, an acrylic model lands in about 10 days at $500, then a sample mould at 35 days puts 5–10 bottles on your desk.
EXW · FOB
Warehousing and consolidation stay in-house, and we quote transit to your port. Your gin bottles travel with vodka or wine in one container, which is how most first releases ship.
Per shape, with the quote
A flat round flask and a wide-shouldered 750 load nothing alike, so your carton count moves with the shape you pick. Your quotation gives carton dimensions and 20GP and 40HC counts per shape.
Craft gin is a design category, and nearly all of your design work happens on glass that is already tooled. Our decorating plant in Shandong frosts, sprays, screen prints, hot stamps, electroplates and labels in-house, which keeps your decorated bottle on the same 15–20 days as a plain one.
We quote decoration per design, beside the glass. Decoration and labelling in detail →
Your drawing, a rival's bottle or a sketch on a napkin starts the check. Running moulds carry your first release well, and gin is the category where a brand that finds its market tools its own bottle by year two or three. Our mould shop prices that path in three stages.
A full-size model of your bottle, so you sign off shape, shoulder, bore and label panel before steel is cut.
Real glass from a sample mould: 5–10 bottles with corks fitted, for your bottler and your buyer to approve.
Your production tooling runs on the flint lines in Shandong. Minimum 12,000 pieces in extra-flint, 50,000 in standard flint.
We melt super flint in Shandong, where 7 lines turn out 600,000 pieces a day, and spirits glass is what those lines exist for. Your gin bottles are formed, annealed, decorated and packed inside the group, and buyers in 40+ countries have shipped from these lines since 2013.
We gauge the neck bore on every run, because a T-top cork is pushed, not driven, and has no thread to fall back on. A bore that drifts gives you creeping corks in a warm store.
We check the super flint melt against a retained reference. On a clear spirit any cast in the glass reads as a cast in your gin.
We check faceted and shouldered bodies against a retained reference, because soft facets from a tired mould take the edge off exactly what you paid the shape for.
Your shipment carries an EC 1935/2004 declaration of compliance for the EU and UK, food-contact documentation to FDA requirements for the United States, and ISO 9001. SGS test reports and third-party pre-shipment inspection come on request.
Four neighbouring ranges off the same furnaces, on your one sheet and in your one container.
| Requirement | Range | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| A tall bottle for a clear spirit |  Vodka Bottles | 200 ml – 1 L, Oslo profile, cork or screw. |
| A shorter bottle for a liqueur |  Liquor Bottles | 250 – 500 ml, super flint and cork finishes. |
| A slim bottle for a dessert wine |  Ice Wine Bottles | 175 – 750 ml, super flint, heights published. |
| A swing top for a bottled cocktail |  Swing Top Bottles | 100 ml – 1 L, one stopper across the range. |
Your ranges combine in one container and on one set of documents.
Bore, cork, mould cost and minimum, so you can price a first release without waiting on a reply.
700 ml is the European standard and 750 ml the American one, so your market decides. This range runs 750 ml on the wide-shoulder body, with 500 ml, 375 ml, 250 ml and a 100 ml tasting size. Where you need 700 ml, say so with the enquiry so it is quoted on the right body.
The faceted body publishes a 1.85 cm bore inside a 3.0 cm finish across 250, 375 and 500 ml, so one cork covers your ladder. Every other design ships its finish drawing with your quotation, because a T-top cork has no thread to fall back on.
A glass stopper seals against the glass and looks the most expensive thing on a shelf, which suits your presentation bottle. A T-top cork reseals more reliably over the months your bottle actually sits in a home bar. The faceted body takes the stopper; the other three take corks.
We make them. The gin bodies come off the super flint lines in Shandong, which runs 7 lines, and the decorating happens in the same group. MAIDAO INDUSTRY owns 14 lines across Shandong and Xuzhou, and SGSBOTTLE is the export arm that quotes and ships from them.
An acrylic model runs about $500 and reaches you in ten days. A sample mould is roughly $1,200 over 35 days, and it puts 5 to 10 real glass bottles on your bench. Production tooling costs $1,200 to $2,200 for your 700 or 750 ml bottle, against a 12,000-piece minimum in extra flint.
There is no tooling minimum on the four running-mould bodies, so your first release can be a single pallet. A custom mould in extra flint starts at 12,000 pieces, which you are likely to reach in a second or third year.
Yes, and in gin it is the usual path once your brand finds its market. An acrylic model takes about 10 days at $500, a sample mould 35 days at around $1,200, and production tooling $1,200 to $2,200 against a 12,000-piece minimum.
Yes. T-top corks in wood, metal or acrylic, glass stoppers for the faceted body, and capsules or wax over the top, all priced with the glass and matched to your bore.
Yes. Your bottles ship with food-contact documentation to FDA requirements for the United States and an EC 1935/2004 declaration of compliance for the EU and UK, with SGS test reports on request.
Differently enough to change your landed cost. A flat round flask wastes carton space that a wide-shouldered bottle does not, so your quotation gives you carton dimensions and per-shape 20GP and 40HC counts.
A shape, a size or the cork you already buy is enough to start. Our spirits desk answers you with pricing, your finish drawing and a pallet count inside 24 hours.
Matching running-mould bottles, pricing and loading data come back within 24 hours.
The tooling path is quoted by stage before anything is committed.
