Understand market trends and manufacture high-quality glass bottles in a sustainable way. We are honored to have a place in the glass bottle industry. With more than 20 years of professional experience in designing, developing and manufacturing glassware, we have established a good reputation worldwide.

Glass products are also stable in high temperature environments. During the production process, the internal temperature can reach up to 1675 degrees Fahrenheit after the raw materials are fed into the furnace. Glass bottles have been widely verified to be suitable for various types of food packaging.

Glass products do not contain heavy metals such as lead and cadmium that can migrate and leach. Therefore, many business owners and retailers prefer glass bottles and glass jars as the first choice when designing product packaging.

Glass bottles and glass jars are widely used and suitable for various packaging needs, such as olive oil, water, wine, juice, beer, milk, bubble tea, smoothies, coffee, jam, honey, pepper, salt, dried flowers, perfumes, and DIY gifts.

Why choose glass bottles as a packaging method

In today’s society, sustainable development is increasingly valued. Compared with plastic, glassware is more environmentally friendly.

The main raw materials of soda-lime glass are silica (sand) and sodium carbonate, which are natural and moderately cost-effective. In addition, aluminum oxide, iron oxide, barium oxide, sulfur trioxide and magnesium oxide account for about 5% of the composition of soda-lime glass. Waste from glass containers can be recycled and melted, and then mixed with raw materials for recycling.

Glass products do not release harmful substances at high temperatures. During the production process, the raw materials are melted in a furnace up to 1675 degrees Fahrenheit, and the resulting glass bottles have been proven to be suitable for food packaging.

Glass products do not contain heavy metals such as migratables, leachable lead and cadmium. Therefore, many business owners and retailers give priority to glass bottles and jars when designing product packaging solutions.

Glass bottles and jars can be widely used in various packaging fields, including olive oil, water, wine, juice, beer, milk, bubble tea, smoothies, coffee, jam, honey, pepper, salt, dried flowers, perfumes, and DIY gifts.

Where can I find a glass bottle manufacturer that makes custom glass bottles?

Some customers want to find a professional factory to customize the production of glass bottles. This is a very creative idea. Here we introduce the detailed process for you.

First, customers need to provide technical drawings that clearly show the product shape and key dimensions, including capacity, height, diameter and top cap specifications. Our factory will draw mold drawings for customers to confirm. If necessary, we will first print a 3D model of the bottle before developing the actual metal mold. After the mold is completed, we will produce physical samples and send them to customers for approval. After approval, our factory will start mass production.

Usually, the mold production cycle is 3 weeks, and the lead time for sample setting is about 3 to 4 weeks.

How to add a custom logo to a glass bottle

There are many ways for customers to add a custom logo to the surface of glass packaging. One way is to emboss the logo on the surface of the glass bottle, and our factory can finely engrave the customer’s artistic pattern on the mold. Another way is to print on the surface of the glass bottle, whether it is a single-color or multi-color image.

Glass bottle manufacturers call single-color printing screen printing. The process is to make a film and then print it on the surface of the bottle. Multi-color printing is more complicated and more expensive than single-color printing. We call this process decals.

The decal process first requires making colored paper, then sticking it on the surface of the bottle, and then putting the sticker bottle into the oven. After high temperature treatment, the colored pattern will be perfectly transferred to the bottle. Many bubble tea shops use printed glass bottles to promote their brands, such as Roasting Water and The Moo Bar in the United States. In addition, some coffee shop owners print flat glass bottles into matte black and matte white, which is a very fashionable idea. Customers not only buy coffee, but also get exquisite reusable glass bottles, which effectively increases sales.

The third way to add a custom logo to the surface of a glass bottle is to use paper or plastic stickers. Stickers are cheaper, and many juice producers tend to adopt this method. Customers only need to provide artistic patterns, and our glass manufacturers will print stickers for you. In addition, we are also equipped with automatic labeling machines to provide one-stop services for customers who are inconvenient to operate by themselves.
