Designing Your Custom Bottle with VetroPuro
Custom Bottle with VetroPuro — In the competitive world of premium spirits, the vessel is often just as significant as the liquid it holds. While traditional Western glassworks often demand astronomical investments—upwards of $20,000 for private moulds and minimum orders exceeding 100,000 pcs — Vetropuro has revolutionised the path to market. By offering private mould sets from as little as $1,400 and accessible minimum runs of 12,000 pcs, bespoke packaging is now within reach for both craft distilleries and global brands alike.
How do I design a custom glass bottle for spirits?
If you are looking to design a custom glass bottle for spirits, here is the structured, six-step journey from initial concept to a shelf-ready masterpiece.
1.Concept Exploration
The journey begins with your vision. Whether you arrive with a fully realised sketch or merely a brand ethos, Vetropuro acts as your strategic partner. We discuss your target market, capacity requirements (e.g., 70cl or 750ml), and desired aesthetic. If you are starting from scratch, we consult on current trends—such as heavy-based designs or intricate embossing—to ensure your bottle commands attention.
2.Technical Precision & 2D Drawings
Once the concept is defined, it must be translated into the language of engineering. We provide detailed technical drawings that specify every dimension, from the bore of the neck to the thickness of the base. Our team leverages years of experience to recommend proportions that ensure the bottle is not only beautiful but also stable and compatible with high-speed bottling lines.
Digital blueprints ensure every millimetre aligns with your brand's functional needs.
3.3D Rendering: Bringing Ideas to Life
To bridge the gap between a flat drawing and a physical object, we digitise the design to create a 3D rendering. It allows you to evaluate the "hand-feel" and visual impact before any steel is cut for tooling.
4.Test Moulds & Sampling
This is where your design becomes reality. Within 15 to 20 days, we create a dedicated mould. Unlike mass production tooling, this allows us to produce a small batch of sample bottles. We ship 2 to 3 physical samples directly to you, enabling you to verify the glass clarity, weight, and finish firsthand.
5.Full-Scale Mass Production
Upon your final approval of the sample, we move to full production tooling. Vetropuro operates automated and manual lines 24/7. Throughout this phase, our Quality Control team performs rigorous stress testing, dimensional checks, and visual inspections to maintain the standard set by your approved sample.
Expert craftsmanship meets automated precision during the mass production phase.
6.Ennoblement, Packing, and Shipping
The final step involves any secondary "ennoblement"—such as acid etching, screen printing, or hot stamping—to further distinguish your brand. Finally, the bottles are professionally palletised and loaded for global delivery. From the moment the sample is approved, your entire order can be ready for shipment in just 25 working days.
