GlassyPack manufactures glass liquor bottles for spirits brands and distilleries in 200ml, 350ml, 375ml, 500ml, 700ml, 750ml and 1000ml, in high flint and super flint glass with bar top cork or screw finishes. Stock bottles start at 2,000 pieces, custom molds at 10,000–30,000 pieces, with decoration and closures supplied in the same order.
We produce spirit bottles across the seven capacities brands use most. Height, diameter and glass weight vary by mold, and most capacities come in several body shapes, so ask us for the dimensional drawing of any bottle before you plan your label or carton.
| Capacity | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| 200ml | Flasks, gift sets, miniatures and tasting packs |
| 350ml / 375ml | Half bottles, premium gift editions, trial sizes for new expressions |
| 500ml | Craft gin, liqueurs, and markets where 500ml is the retail norm |
| 700ml | Standard spirits size in the EU, UK and Australia |
| 750ml | Standard spirits size in the United States and many other markets |
| 1000ml | Duty-free, on-trade and value formats |
For a full breakdown of standard sizes and the markets that use them, see our guide to liquor bottle measurements.
Our liquor bottles are made mainly in two grades of clear glass. High flint is the everyday clear glass for spirits: clean, bright and cost-efficient. Super flint (also called crystal flint or extra flint) uses lower-iron raw materials, so it has none of the faint green tint visible at the base of standard clear glass. On a clear spirit such as vodka, gin or blanco tequila, the difference shows on the shelf. Our article on super flint vs high flint glass explains when the extra cost is worth it.
Bottles are produced clear and can be decorated in any colour, so a single clear mold can serve several products in a range.
Spirit bottles are made with one of two neck types: a bar top (cork) finish or a screw finish. The finish is part of the mold, so the closure has to be chosen together with the bottle rather than afterwards. We supply the closure in the same order:
Wooden cap heads can be carved or engraved with your logo, and aluminium caps can be printed. If leakage in transit is a concern for your market, our guide to liquor bottle closures and neck finishes covers how each closure seals and where it fails.
Most spirits brands decorate a clear bottle rather than buying coloured glass. We offer:
Methods can be combined on one bottle. Minimums, colour limits and artwork requirements for each method are set out on our glass bottle decoration service page, and our article on how bottle colour affects a spirit brand looks at the design side.

Stock bottle lead times above are for bottles we hold in inventory, decorated to your design. When a bottle from one of our existing molds has to be produced for your order rather than taken from stock, allow 15–25 days for sampling and 35–45 days for production. Production starts after you approve the sample and does not include ocean freight. A branded bottle does not require a custom mold: decoration and a logo on the cap make a stock bottle your own at the 2,000-piece minimum. When a signature shape is the right call, our custom glass bottle design service takes it from drawing to finished mold, and our guide to designing a custom spirit bottle walks through the process. Sampling costs and mold costs are listed separately on our quotation so you know the full cost before you commit.
Spirits put more demands on a bottle than most products: the closure has to seal against high-proof alcohol, and plated or sprayed parts stay in contact with it for years. Every order is produced against the sample you approve, and beyond that we agree the checks your project needs and write them into the order before production starts. Common ones for spirit bottles:
Tell us which of these matter for your bottle when you request a quote. More detail is on our quality control service page.
2,000 pieces for stock bottles. Custom molds start at 10,000–30,000 pieces depending on capacity and glass grade.
Super flint is made from lower-iron raw materials, so it has no green tint. It costs more and suits clear spirits where the liquid's clarity is part of the product.
Yes. We supply natural cork, synthetic and glass stoppers, as well as screw and ROPP aluminium caps. Wooden heads can carry a carved logo and aluminium caps can be printed.
No. Screen printing, decals, frosting, spray colour, electroplating and hot stamping all work on stock bottles from 2,000 pieces.
It depends on the route. Decorating a bottle we hold in stock takes 7–10 days for sampling and 15–20 days for production. Producing from one of our existing molds takes 15–25 days for sampling and 35–45 days for production. A new custom mold takes 25–40 days for sampling and 35–45 days for production. Ocean freight is extra.
700ml is standard in the EU, UK and Australia; 750ml in the United States and many other markets. Brands selling in both often run two bottles from one design.
