400ml Glass Liquor Bottles
A 400ml glass bottle is a flexible private-label mid-size. This page covers the 400ml 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 400ml is used for
The 400ml is a flexible mid-size used for private-label vodka and gin, for value spirits, and for some liqueurs that want to sit between the 375ml half-bottle and the 500ml standard. It is a common choice when a brand wants a slightly larger pour than a half-bottle without committing to the full standard size.
Closure, neck finish and caps
A 400ml bottle normally takes a 28 mm screw finish. Screw is standard; synthetic or T-cork options appear on premium private-label editions.
Packing and freight
Plan for about 24 bottles per export carton. A 1200 x 1000 mm pallet holds roughly 40 cartons, around 960 bottles per stack. Confirm the actual carton and divider spec before booking.
Choosing colour and finish
Amber and cobalt are the UV-protective defaults, while clear glass suits premium and coloured products. Green carries a traditional feel for some lines. The 400ml panel gives room for a branded front label and a legal back panel.
Decoration and customisation
Spray coating, frosting and embossing all work at 400ml. Relief can be deeper than on miniatures and still read cleanly, which makes this a good size for a subtle brand emboss. At 400ml a front label plus back legal panel covers most private-label vodka and gin needs.
Lead time, MOQ and sampling
MOQ is 1000 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. MOQ is around a thousand pieces, efficient at this mid-size. 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.
