Fluted Cylinder Perfume Bottles with Ribbed Caps

Mini overview

This mini glass perfume bottle (reference XF-119, 15 ml) is made by our glass bottle manufacturer in Guangzhou, China. As a direct manufacturer of custom glass perfume bottles, we produce it as a dependable mini format for fine fragrance and body lines and supply it as a clear bottle or as a fully decorated, private-label package. We hold the approved standard on file, so repeat orders match the first.

This reference is shown with a green finish; the same mould can be produced in clear flint, frosted or spray-coated in your Pantone colour.

Why choose a mini shape

The mini bottle is compact, economical and collectible. Small bottles and testers are essential to travel retail, sample programs, discovery sets and gift sets, and they let customers try a fragrance before committing to a full size. They are also a low-cost way to launch a new scent or extend a range.

Mini formats are among the most profitable pieces in a line, because they introduce the full-size product, support gift-with-purchase and fill the lower price points of a range. At small scale, the proportions and weight are still designed to mirror the full-size version.

Mini bottles need a secure, reliable small cap and a consistent neck, and the form is often scaled from the full-size design to keep the brand recognizable. They are frequently packed in multi-packs, discovery sets and trays.

The small footprint is planned with the packaging in mind, and the bottles are packed to protect the caps and any decoration during multi-stage handling.

Materials and construction

The glass itself is clear soda-lime flint, melted and formed in-house. Every bottle then goes through an annealing lehr, where controlled heating and cooling removes the stress that otherwise causes breakage. The result is a transparent, chemically stable bottle that shows the liquid and withstands the journey to market.

The base is deliberately thickened to add weight and reduce tipping, while the neck is finished to a consistent diameter so the pump and cap seat correctly and seal. The mouth is formed to a set tolerance, and bottles are inspected for cracks, stones, bubbles, mould lines and dimensional accuracy before they leave the line.

Capacity and dimensions

In its standard format this mini bottle holds 15 ml and measures approximately 72 mm high by 21 mm wide. Because the bottle is made on our own moulds, fill volume and proportions can be tuned to your fragrance, and we commonly produce 10, 15, 30, 50 and 100 ml versions. Use the fill-volume and size calculator to estimate a format.

The 15 ml bottle is a compact, entry-level format that sits between a sample and a full-size bottle. It is small enough to travel and to give as a gift, but it carries a little more fragrance than the 10 ml and reads more clearly as a product on the shelf. The 15 ml size is commonly used in gift sets, travel lines and for the smallest size of a standard range.

Customization and decoration

This bottle is fully customizable. We can develop a custom mould, match your Pantone colour and supply custom caps, gift boxes and private label. Estimate costs with the decoration cost estimator.

• Small labels: Labels support full color at the lowest entry volume and carry the brand and regulatory text.
• Hot foil: Small foil accents and emblems still read clearly at mini scale.
• Color coating: A Pantone color can match the mini bottle to the full-size line.
• Screen print: A small logo or mark can be printed where the face allows.

Colour is matched to a Pantone reference rather than a screen image so the bottle, cap and packaging stay consistent. Printed and coated surfaces are cured in line and then checked for durability, so the finish keeps its appearance through filling, shipping and shelf life.

OEM / ODM and private label

OEM and ODM customers can take delivery at any point in the process: blank bottles for in-house filling, decorated bottles for branding, or a finished package with cap, pump and box. Most programs begin on an existing mould and move to exclusive tooling as volumes build.

Quality control

Quality control is structured around three checks across the order. Moulds and materials are confirmed first, the line is monitored as bottles are formed and decorated, and the finished goods are sampled before shipment. Adhesion and alcohol-resistance tests on decorated pieces confirm the finish will hold.

Applications and markets

This mini bottle is commonly used for travel retail, sample and tester programs, discovery and gift sets, gift-with-purchase. At 15 ml it is well suited to smallest size of a standard range. Orders are shipped to Europe, the Middle East, Russia and the Americas, with the documentation each market requires.

Packaging, shipping and documentation

Bottles are packed in partitioned export cartons with protective inserts to prevent contact, palletised where appropriate, and the packaging is validated for long-distance shipping. We support sea, air and express freight and quote Ex-Works, FOB, CIF or DDP terms, supplying the commercial invoice, packing list and certificates each market requires.

Estimate load and carton counts with the carton calculator.

Sustainability and reuse

The bottle is recyclable and refillable, supporting the refill and reuse systems that brands are building. We can design the form for easy refill, specify recycled content and keep packaging to what is actually needed for protection.

Choosing and verifying the right bottle

Confirm the capacity against your fill volume, the neck against your pump and cap, and the decoration against your MOQ. The bottle selector, cap-fit checker, bottle comparison and quote calculator walk through each decision.

Why partner with our factory

Ten years of glass manufacturing, a 200,000 m² facility and exports to over 100 countries underpin the business. Working directly with the factory means a single point of contact, in-house mould and decoration, and shorter, more predictable lead times.

1. Send capacity, quantity, colour, cap and decoration through the inquiry form or WhatsApp.
2. We confirm pricing, MOQ and lead time within 12 hours and arrange samples.
3. For custom work, we supply drawings and a 3D prototype for approval.
4. You approve a pre-production sample, then we complete the run and final QC.
5. Bottles are packed in export cartons and shipped with the documents.

Samples and after-sales support

Samples are encouraged before volume production: stock pieces are quick to send, usually freight collect, and custom projects start with a 3D prototype. The approved mould and standard are retained on file for consistent reorders.
