Colour
Masterbatch matched against a physical reference, not a screen. Screens lie about plastic.
No tooling change · existing moulds
OEM & ODM
A mould cut for your bottle, and nobody else’s.
Two ways in. If one of our existing necks already fits, you change the colour and the print and skip tooling entirely. If nothing fits, we cut a mould from your drawing or your sample — and that tool stays exclusive to you.
At a glance
Design — about 3 days from brief to proposal
Sample — about 7 days for a physical sample
Bulk lead time — 15–25 days after approval
Private mould — quoted per project, tool exclusive to you
Build the specification
What can change, and what it costs you.
Every photo below is a part we actually mould. The line under each one is the thing that matters: whether it needs a new tool. Five of these six do not.
Printing
Single- or multi-colour top printing to your artwork, with a proof before the run.
No tooling change · artwork proof first
Carry handle
Matching handles for barrelled necks, in stackable and anti-slip grip versions.
Existing tooling in 45 mm and 55 mm
Non-spill insert
Self-sealing closure for 5-gallon barrels — the valve opens on the dispenser, not in transit.
Existing tooling · assembled in-house
Decorative over-cap
Clear, tinted and metallised over-caps that sit on the finished bottle.
Existing tooling in 52, 56 and 60 mm
New shape
Your drawing, your 3D file, or the competitor cap you want matched. The mould stays exclusive to you.
New mould required · quoted per project
Development timeline
Brief to container, stage by stage.
Brief
Send the neck diameter, what goes in the bottle, the annual volume and the market. A photo of the bottle neck with a caliper across it is usually enough to start.
Match or quote a tool
We tell you which existing moulds fit. If none do, you get the mould cost and the development schedule before anything starts.
Design proposal
Drawing and material recommendation, including the torque band we would set for your filling line.
Physical sample
Samples in your hand from existing tooling. Sample charge covers material cost only on small trial quantities.
Approval
You sign off shape, colour, print, liner and torque. That approved sample becomes the production reference.
Production & shipment
Bulk run with in-process torque sampling, sealed liners in every carton, then FOB Qingdao with the document set.
Private moulds
Four things to settle before a tool gets cut.
A mould is the one decision on this page you cannot undo cheaply. These are the four questions we will ask you, and they are worth having answers to before you talk to anyone — us included.
The tool is yours
A mould developed from your drawing or sample is exclusive to you. We do not sell that cap shape to anyone else — which is the whole point of paying for a private tool rather than buying from a catalogue.
Quoted before it is cut
Mould cost and development time are quoted up front, per project. Cavity count is part of that conversation, because it is what sets your unit price at volume.
Matched to your line, not just your bottle
Tell us the capper type and line speed. A cap that seals perfectly by hand and slips at 12,000 units an hour is the expensive kind of mistake.
Changes stay traceable
A revised tool gets a new drawing revision and a new approval sample. You should never have to guess which version is in the carton.
What we need from you
The faster this arrives, the faster the sample does.
None of it has to be final. Ranges and rough numbers are enough to start a specification.
- 01
The neck
Diameter and thread type. A photo with a caliper across the finish beats a description every time — and a sample bottle in the post beats the photo.
- 02
What goes in it
Still water, carbonated, hot-filled, oil or a supplement. It decides the resin, the liner and the torque band.
- 03
Volume and market
Annual quantity and the country you sell into, for pricing and for working out which test reports you will need from us.
- 04
Artwork
Logo files in vector format if you want printing, plus any Pantone references you are matching to.
Development brief
Tell us about the bottle.
A photo of the bottle neck is enough to start. We will confirm the neck size, the resin and the quantity before quoting anything.
