1000ml Glass Liquor Bottles
A 1000ml glass bottle - the full litre - is the value and private-label workhorse of the spirits shelf. This page covers the 1-litre format we supply, with the variant table below listing the sizes we stock or have recently run in amber, blue, cobalt, green and matte-black glass, with matte, frosted, high-gloss or spray-coated finishes available on request.
What 1000ml is used for
The litre bottle is the backbone of value vodka, gin, rum and house spirits, and the default for refill and back-bar programs. Markets that price spirits per litre lean on 1000ml for the best shelf economics, and private-label value lines use it as the entry tier beneath the 700ml premium. It is also the format for batch cocktails, cooking spirits and any brand that wants maximum liquid per dollar on the shelf. The large front panel is a billboard for the label.
Closure, neck finish and caps
A 1000ml bottle takes a 24 mm or 28 mm screw or cork finish. Screw with a tamper-evident band is standard for value and private-label spirits; a cork or wooden top is used on premium presentation litre bottles. Heat-shrink capsules and custom caps are both supported.
Packing and freight
Roughly 12 to 18 bottles fit an export carton at this weight. A standard 1200 x 1000 mm pallet holds about 24 cartons, around 300 to 430 bottles - the litre is heavy, so carton board grade and pallet wrap are worth specifying up front. Confirm the exact carton spec before booking.
Choosing colour and finish
Clear glass dominates the value tier so the liquid sells itself, while amber and cobalt protect UV-sensitive spirits. Green reads traditional for certain liqueurs. At 1000ml the label canvas is large, so a clean emboss plus a strong front label carries the brand with room to spare.
Decoration and customisation
Spray coating reaches a custom colour without a furnace campaign, and frosting gives a tactile premium feel even on a value bottle. Embossing can be deep and screen printing holds fine detail at this size, so a litre can look like a flagship rather than a bulk SKU. A single-colour spray or a shallow emboss is usually enough.
Lead time, MOQ and sampling
MOQ is driven by the furnace minimum run, typically 3000 pieces. Lead time depends on order quantity; decoration and custom colour add to this. Samples in standard finishes ship from stock, while custom colour or embossing need a pre-production sample before the bulk run.

Frequently asked questions
What is the MOQ for a 1000ml bottle?
MOQ for 1000ml is 3000 pieces, set by the furnace minimum run. Lower volumes are negotiable for repeat orders or a mixed container.
How much does a 1000ml glass bottle cost?
Indicative FOB unit price is $0.18 to $0.26 at MOQ. Final price depends on volume, colour, decoration and glass weight.
Can I get a 1000ml bottle in a custom colour?
Yes. Custom colour is a furnace campaign rather than a coating, so it needs a volume commitment and adds roughly two weeks to the first order. Spray coating is the lower-volume alternative.
What neck finish does a 1000ml bottle take?
A 24 mm or 28 mm screw or cork finish. Tamper-evident bands are standard on value and private-label litres.
How long does a 1000ml order take?
Lead time depends on order quantity. Decoration and custom colour add to this.
Can I order a sample of the 1000ml bottle?
Yes. Samples ship from stock in the standard finishes. Custom colour and custom embossing require a pre-production sample before the bulk run.
