For custom-made bottles, it is important to consider the shape, size, dispensing mechanism, and printing technique. At uCan-Packaging, we offer numerous dispensing mechanisms and customization techniques, each of which will be covered in more detail below. We advise using our in-stock bottles for customization, however, if you’re looking at a custom size/shape, this is possible as well. For custom bottles, the MOQ ranges from 1,500 to 20,000 units – depending on the complexity of the design. If you choose to order your personalized bottles from us, you will naturally receive a sample of your custom bottle by mail to inspect before starting the production of your wholesale order.

Personalized Bottles – Available Materials

Those of you who are familiar with our products know that uCan-Packaging offers a wide range of different bottles made from aluminum, glass, and plastic. Each material type has its benefits in terms of price, design, durability, sustainability, and more. If you’re not sure what material best suits your custom bottle, please have a quick look below. Here we have listed down the general pros and cons of each bottle material.

Custom Aluminum Bottles

The popularity of aluminum bottles has increased significantly throughout the past decade. Aluminum bottles are relatively affordable and feature an elegant and luxurious design. In terms of customization, there are plenty of different printing techniques available. However, customizing the shape and size of aluminum bottles is more limited. Perhaps the biggest benefit of aluminum bottles, besides their premium look, is the fact that they are 100% recyclable, food-safe, and BPA-free. This is why they are often used as cosmetic bottles as well as beverage bottles. Aluminum bottles are considered to be among the safest and most sustainable packaging options available today.

Custom Glass Bottles

When it comes to custom bottles, custom glass bottles offer endless possibilities in terms of shape, size, and overall design. Whether you’re looking for a general Boston Round bottle as found on our website, or something more unique in terms of shape and design – we can help you with it all. Custom glass bottles have an elegant luxurious appearance that is guaranteed to add a high-end touch to your product line. That being said, glass bottles are, generally speaking, the most expensive type of custom bottles. This is especially the case when you’re looking for a custom size or shape. Just like aluminum bottles, custom glass bottles are food-safe, BPA-free, and 100% recyclable.

Custom Plastic Bottles

Perhaps the most commonly used type of bottle in the packaging industry are plastic bottles. Plastic bottles are very affordable and easy to customize. They offer endless possibilities when it comes to custom shapes and sizes. Besides, they offer the cheapest packaging option, which makes them attractive to both large and small companies alike. All our custom plastic bottles are made from the highest quality materials that are BPA-free and food-safe. We furthermore prefer using recyclable plastics such as PET that have limited influence on the environment. If you’re looking for an affordable custom bottle suitable for mass-production, custom plastic bottles are a perfect way to go.

Dispensing Systems For Custom Made Bottles

Now that you have chosen the most suitable material for your custom bottle, it’s time to consider what type of dispensing system to use. Generally speaking, all our bottles come topped off with a screw-top or slipcover lid – which is nothing special. However, it is the dispensing system found beneath this lid that separates one bottle from another. Below, a closer look is given at the different lids and dispensing systems that you can choose from for your custom made bottle.

Screw Tops & Slipcovers

Our standard bottles come equipped with either a screw top lid or slipcover lid. These lids offer an easy-to-use and convenient way to open and close your bottles. The lids can be equipped with a regular EPE liner or silicone liner upon request. This helps to prevent external air and moisture from entering your bottles to increase shelf life.

Flip Tops

Flip tops allow you to easily snap open and close your bottles time after time. When opened, flip tops let you dispense of your product in a well-controlled manner. These lids are suitable for both liquid and semi-liquids alike. Simply squeeze the bottle, and you’re ready to go.

Disc Tops

Disc tops are commonly found in the cosmetic industry where they are used on bottles used to store lotions or shampoo. Simply press the lid to open and close the disc top. Turn your bottle upside down, squeeze it, and you’ll be ready to go. The simple pressing mechanism makes them easy to use, even in the shower with soapy hands.

Euro-Style Droppers

If you’re looking for a bottle that helps dispense of your liquids equally and in a well-controlled manner, Euro-style droppers are a perfect choice for you. Underneath the regular lid, you’ll find a plastic insert that helps to dispense your product one drop at a time. These bottles are perfect for essential oils, herbal extracts, and general medicine.

Pipette Droppers

Pipette dropper bottles are similar to Euro-style droppers in the way that they allow you to dispense of your product one drop at a time. The main difference, however, lies in the design of the dispensing mechanism. Instead of having a dropper insert, these bottles have a squeezer lid with a glass pipette, making it easier to dispense of the product.

Roller Balls

If your bottle is used to hold oils or another type of liquid that is meant to be applied onto the skin, roller bottles are a perfect way to go. All our custom bottles can be equipped with a roller insert. When it comes to the roller-ball itself, we offer the choice between fiberglass and steel rollers.

Mist Sprayers

Spray bottles are perhaps the most commonly used bottle in every industry. They are convenient, easy to use, and allow you to dispense of your product in a well-controlled manner. Mist sprayers are perfect for liquids, oils, extracts, and fragrances. These caps are most commonly used in the medical and beauty industries.

Pump Caps

Pump caps are similar to sprayers. The main difference is that pumps are meant to be used for more solid products. Think for instance about cremes, lotions, and shampoo. Pump caps are perfect for companies active in the health and cosmetic industry. They allow you to apply a controlled amount of lotion right onto your skin.

Trigger Sprayers

Trigger spray caps are commonly found in the cleaning industry. Here they are used on bottles that hold cleaners, degreasers, disinfectants, and other liquids. With their large external spray mechanism, these bottles are easy to aim and operate. We offer trigger sprayers for our plastic and aluminum bottles.

Printing Techniques For Your Custom Bottles

Once you have decided on the shape, size, and dispensing mechanism of your custom bottles, it’s time to move on to the most important step: choosing the customization method. We offer numerous different printing techniques to customize your aluminum, glass, or plastic bottle. Each printing technique brings along its benefits that help you create a custom bottle that perfectly represents your product and brand.

Sticker Labels

Sticker labels offer, by far, the cheapest and most efficient way to customize your bottles. Whether you’re looking for a small and simple sticker on the front or an all-around design, everything is possible. Sticker labels provide you with a cheap and stylish way to add some color to your bottle design. When you order bottles with sticker labels, we will apply the labels for you in our factory free of charge. Instead of sticker labels, you can also consider the use of colorful shrink wrap bands around your bottle.

Silk Screen Print

If you’re looking for direct print but have a limited budget, silkscreen print is the way to go. With silkscreen print, we can print up to 4 colors directly onto the bottle at a low MOQ. Please keep in mind that silkscreen print is a manual printing process. As such, the designs cannot be too detailed. Also, it is only possible to print solid colors. The printing of gradient and shades is, unfortunately, not possible.

Gold/Silver Hot Press

Gold and silver press gives a similar effect as a silkscreen print in the way that color is printed on top of the bottle. With this printing technique, you can create a true gold/silver effect that makes your bottle shine and stand out from the crowd. Gold and silver press is a perfect printing technique to add a luxurious touch to your product line.

Full-Color Spray & Heat Transfer (Single/Multi-Color)

For those of you who are looking to go all-in, full-color print and heat transfer is the ultimate customization technique. This printing technique gives, by far, the most professional print results. Whether you’re looking for a single-color bottle or a multi-color design, everything is possible. We can use unlimited colors and it is furthermore possible to print shadows and gradient.

Embossing

If you’re looking to add a 3D design to your bottles or caps, embossing offers the solution. This customization technique turns your bottles into a true piece of art. To add an extra pop to your design, embossing can be combined with other printing techniques such as silkscreen print or full-color print. Please note that on bottles, the possibilities for embossing are limited depending on the material used. Please contact us for more details.

UV Glue

By using UV glue, we’ll be able to add a shadow-like effect to your custom bottles. UV-glue is similar to silkscreen print in the way that it is printed on top of the bottle. The difference is, however, that the glue used is transparent. This creates an effect that looks more like a shadow rather than a true color print. UV glue is perfect for customers that want to add a cool effect to their bottles without having a too overpowered color design.
