Glass bottles come in a wide variety of specifications. Here are some common ones:
Classified by Capacity
- Small Capacity Bottles
- 50ml: Commonly used for packaging perfumes, oral liquids, small doses of seasonings, etc. For example, some brands' trial perfume is packaged in 50ml glass bottles.
- 100ml:Commonly used in the packaging of small cosmetic samples, travel-sized shampoos, shower gels, etc. Some oral liquid medicines also use 100ml glass bottles.
- Medium Capacity Bottles
- 250ml:Relatively common in the beverage, food and pharmaceutical industries. Some bottled yogurt, children's oral liquid, small bottles of cooking wine, etc., may use 250ml glass bottles.
- 500ml:This is a very common specification. Many common mineral water bottles, beverage bottles, soy sauce bottles, vinegar bottles, etc., use a 500ml capacity. In alcoholic beverage packaging, some low-end baijiu or fruit wines also have 500ml glass bottles.
- Large Capacity Bottles
- 1L:Mostly used in the packaging of edible oils, large beverage bottles, industrial chemical reagents, etc. Some family-sized juices and soy sauce also use 1L glass bottles.
- 2.5L:Usually used for packaging larger capacity liquid products, such as large packages of laundry detergent, honey in glass jars, etc. Some industrial solvents and adhesives may also use 2.5L glass bottles.
Classified by Shape
- Round Bottles
- Cylindrical:This is the most common shape, such as common mineral water bottles, beverage bottles, medicine bottles, etc. This shape is easy to hold and fill, and is relatively stable during transportation and storage.
- Truncated Cone:Some wine bottles use a truncated cone design, such as Maotai wine bottles. The shape, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, is both beautiful and has good stability, and it is also convenient for pouring wine.
- Square Bottles
- Cuboid:Often used in cosmetics and pharmaceutical packaging, such as some face creams and lotions in glass bottles. Square bottles can better utilize space and are convenient for display and placement.
- Cube:Relatively rare, but some specially designed perfume bottles and gift bottles use a cube shape to reflect a unique design and delicate feel.
- Irregular Bottles
- Heart Shaped:Commonly used in the design of perfume bottles or gift bottles with romantic themes, such as Valentine's Day limited edition perfumes, using heart-shaped glass bottle packaging to better reflect the emotional attributes of the product.
- Animal Shaped:Some children's products or creative products use animal-shaped glass bottles, such as bear-shaped honey bottles, rabbit-shaped perfume bottles, etc., to increase the product's interest and appeal.
Classified by Bottle Mouth Diameter
- Small Mouth Bottles
- The bottle mouth diameter is generally around 1-3 cm, commonly used in medicine bottles, wine bottles, perfume bottles, etc. The small mouth design helps control the amount of liquid flowing out, and it can also better seal to prevent liquid volatilization or leakage.
- Medium Mouth Bottles
- The bottle mouth diameter is around 3-5 cm. Some beverage bottles and sauce bottles use a medium mouth design for easy drinking or scooping sauce.
- Large Mouth Bottles
- The bottle mouth diameter is larger than 5 cm, often used in canned bottles, jam bottles, honey bottles, etc. The large mouth design makes it easy for people to reach into the bottle to take things, and it is also convenient for filling and cleaning.
