100ml Glass Liquor Bottles
A 100ml glass bottle is a travel-retail and premium-sampler size that sits just above the miniature. This page covers the 100ml format we supply: the table below lists the 5 variants we currently 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 100ml is used for
The 100ml format is the travel-retail and duty-free mini: large enough for a pour or two, small enough to clear cabin restrictions in many markets. It is also the size of choice for bitters, cocktail bitters and spirit-based samplers, and for premium brands that want a giftable mini without going to a full 50ml giveaway. Private-label programs use 100ml as the step-up sampler in a gift set.
Closure, neck finish and caps
A 100ml bottle normally takes an 18 mm or 20 mm screw finish. Screw is preferred for the same reason as the 50ml - single-use opening and leak-proof transit - though a few premium samplers use a small cork for shelf presence.
Packing and freight
Plan for about 72 bottles per export carton. A standard 1200 x 1000 mm pallet holds roughly 30 cartons, around 2160 bottles, so 100ml ships almost as densely as the miniature while giving more label area. These are planning figures; confirm against your actual carton and divider specification.
Choosing colour and finish
Amber and cobalt protect the contents of bitters and fortified samplers from UV, while clear glass shows off a coloured or premium liquid. Green is sometimes chosen for traditional herbal liqueurs. At 100ml the label panel is still small, so a single emboss or one clean label face carries the brand.
Decoration and customisation
Spray coating is the usual route to a custom colour without a furnace campaign, and frosting gives a tactile premium feel. Embossing relief can be slightly deeper than at 50ml but should stay shallow enough to read cleanly. At 100ml a light frost or a single-colour spray reads as premium without committing to a furnace campaign.
Lead time, MOQ and sampling
MOQ is 3000 pieces, driven by the furnace minimum run rather than the bottle size. Lead time depends on order quantity; decoration and custom colour add to this. Small sizes share the same furnace minimum, so MOQ stays in the low thousands despite the larger panel. Samples in the standard finishes ship from stock, while custom colour or embossing need a pre-production sample before the bulk run. For a non-standard colour we run 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.

Frequently asked questions
What is the MOQ for a 100ml bottle?
MOQ for 100ml is 3000 pieces. Lower volumes are negotiable for repeat orders or for a mixed container.
How much does a 100ml glass bottle cost?
Indicative FOB unit price is $0.07 to $0.09 at MOQ. Final price depends on volume, colour, decoration and glass weight.
Can I get a 100ml 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 100ml bottle take?
Screw finish (18mm or 20mm) dominates. If you are selling into airline catering, ask for a tamper-evident band; it is a hard requirement for most carriers.
How long does a 100ml order take?
Lead time depends on order quantity. Decoration and custom colour add to this.
Can I order a sample of the 100ml bottle?
Yes. Samples ship from stock in the standard finishes. Custom colour and custom embossing require a pre-production sample before the bulk run.
