Custom Design, Mold & Sampling

7. Can you make fully custom bottle shapes?

Yes. Hualian Glass Bottle supports custom bottle and jar development through an independent mold design and machining team. We can work from your drawings, samples, brand concepts or 3D files, then refine bottle shape, weight, neck finish, base design and decoration compatibility before bulk production.

Yes. Our mold design and machining team includes senior engineers with more than 35 years of experience, professional designers and skilled CNC operators. Our in-house mold center is equipped with 5-axis simultaneous machining centers and CNC lathes, which helps shorten development cycles and improve mold accuracy.

9. How long does mold development take?

In general:

  • Sample mold: about 20 days for design and production
  • Bulk mold: about 20 days

Exact timing depends on bottle complexity, glass type, revision rounds and current workshop schedule. We confirm the timeline before mold work begins.

10. What is your custom production process?

A typical custom project follows this workflow:

  1. Design discussion and technical review
  2. Drawing / 3D confirmation
  3. Sample mold development
  4. Sample production and evaluation
  5. Sample modification if needed
  6. Bulk mold preparation
  7. Mass production
  8. Decoration, packing and delivery

11. Do you provide free samples?

Yes, sample support is available for qualified buyers. Existing stock bottles and jars can often be provided for evaluation at low or no sample cost. Custom mold samples may require a one-time mold fee, which is typically refundable or deductible against the first bulk production order, depending on the project agreement.

12. What is the MOQ for custom glass bottles?

Hualian Glass Bottle supports flexible MOQ options. With multi-weight computer servo feeders accurate within plus or minus 5g, we can better support startups, private labels and growing brands that need smaller first orders before scaling to larger wholesale volumes. Final MOQ depends on bottle size, glass color, mold status and decoration requirements.

Production Equipment & Lead Time

13. What production equipment do you use?

Our production lines are equipped with advanced SANJIN bottle making machines and multi-weight computer servo feeders. These systems help improve forming stability, weight control and production efficiency for both stock and custom glass packaging.

14. Why is multi-weight feeding important?

The multi-weight computer servo feeder can produce multiple bottle weights on the same machine, with accuracy controlled within plus or minus 5g. This is especially useful for customers who need low MOQ, mixed sizes, phased launches or flexible replenishment without changing the entire production setup.

15. What is the typical production lead time?

Lead time depends on whether the item is a stock product or a custom project:

  • Sample mold: about 20 days
  • Bulk mold: about 20 days
  • Mass production: confirmed case by case based on bottle size, glass color, decoration process, order quantity and season

We provide a clear production schedule in the quotation and proforma invoice before manufacturing starts.

16. Can you support both stock and custom orders?

Yes. Buyers can source ready stock bottles and jars for faster shipment, or develop exclusive custom molds for brand differentiation. Many customers start with stock packaging for market testing, then move to custom molds after demand is confirmed.

Quality Control & Certifications

17. What quality standards do you follow?

Hualian Glass Bottle follows ISO quality management standards throughout production. Quality control covers raw materials, melting, forming, annealing, inspection, decoration and packing, with the goal of stable dimensions, reliable strength and consistent appearance for export orders.

Yes. Hualian Glass Bottle products have passed SGS and FDA food-grade testing. This supports safer packaging applications for food, beverage and related markets that require clearer compliance documentation.

19. Do you have an in-house laboratory?

20. How do you control bottle weight and finish accuracy?

We combine modern bottle-making equipment, process control and inspection routines to maintain consistent bottle weight, neck finish accuracy and overall production stability. For custom projects, critical dimensions are reviewed during sampling and confirmed before mass production.
