3,000 pcs of a 30ml frosted glass dropper bottle with hot-stamp LOGO, produced in 20–30 working days after sample approval, landed in Europe for approximately $1.05–1.30 per unit. This is a viable market test quantity — enough to validate demand before committing to a private mold.
The economics of a 3,000-unit serum bottle order make market testing viable in a way that was not possible a decade ago. At $1.05–1.30 landed per unit, 3,000 units represent a $3,150–3,900 packaging investment — comparable to a modest influencer campaign or trade show booth. If the product works, you reorder. If it needs adjustment, you have not locked $50,000 into a custom mold.
The alternative many new brands take — going straight to a private mold at 30,000 pcs — is a $45,000–60,000 packaging commitment before a single unit is sold. This is only justified when you have validated demand through a smaller run.
The two sizes buyers ask us for most are the 30 ml serum bottle (daily-use serum, oil, ampoule concentrate) and the 60 ml serum bottle (toner-serum hybrids, body serums, professional back-bar). Both run on the same stock-mold MOQ of 3,000 pcs per SKU.
| Spec | 30 ml serum bottle | 60 ml serum bottle |
|---|---|---|
| Stock shapes | Slim cylinder, arch shoulder, frosted cylinder | Round, square, cylinder, frosted cylinder |
| Neck finish | 18/410 · 18/415 · 20/410 | 20/410 · 24/410 |
| Serum pump options | Treatment pump 0.15–0.25 ml/dose, black / white / gold collar | Lotion pump 0.5 ml/dose, or treatment pump 0.25 ml |
| Dropper alternative | Glass pipette with push-button or tamper-evident cap | Long pipette (90 mm) with push-button cap |
| Ex-works, clear glass, 3,000 pcs | $0.55–0.70 bottle · +$0.12–0.22 pump | $0.78–0.95 bottle · +$0.15–0.28 pump |
| Sample lead time | 7–15 working days | 7–15 working days |
If you are a serum pump supplier search away from placing a first order: we supply bottle and pump together, tested for fit and dose on the actual bottle, so you are not matching components from two vendors. Ask for the stock-mold serum catalogue and we will send the 30 ml and 60 ml options with pump and dropper configurations.

For a first launch, simplify ruthlessly. One shape, one colour, one decoration. The most popular starter configurations:
From first contact to bottles at your fulfilment centre:
Air freight can compress the final leg to 5–7 days but at 4–6x the cost. For most brands, sea freight to a 3PL or your own warehouse is the right approach.
On reorders, the one-time costs disappear. No sample fee, no new design setup, and your mold is already proven. A 3,000-unit reorder of the same SKU has per-unit landed cost approximately $0.20–0.30 lower than your first order. At 10,000 units, you qualify for a price tier discount of 8–15% versus 3,000-unit pricing — at which point the economics of a private mold also start to become interesting.
The ODM minimum is 3,000 pcs per SKU using existing factory molds — zero tooling fee, sample in 7–15 working days. This covers decorated glass bottles (frosted, silk print, hot stamp) ready for filling. If you need a completely custom bottle shape, OEM requires 30,000 pcs with a one-time mold fee of $2,000–8,000.
Yes — 3,000 pcs is a viable market test quantity. Sell through 500–1,000 units in the first 60–90 days and you have real sales velocity data before committing to a larger order. If you sell out, reorder; if the product needs adjustment, the loss is limited. The key is not going straight to a custom private mold (30,000 pcs) without validated demand.
At 3,000 pcs ODM: clear glass, frosted glass, amber glass, or spray-coat colour; dropper fitment (wood cap, aluminium cap, or custom), pump fitment, or screw cap; sizes from 10ml to 50ml; silk-print or hot-stamp LOGO. Full electroplating (metallic bottle body) is available at 3,000 pcs but at higher per-unit premium. Matching sets (e.g. 30ml dropper + 50ml pump for a two-product launch) each require their own 3,000 pcs MOQ.
Timeline: NDA + design confirmation (1–3 days), sample production (7–15 working days), sample transit to you (3–5 days), your sample approval (1–5 days), production (20–30 working days for 3,000 pcs), pre-shipment QC and packing (3–5 days), sea freight to Europe/US (25–35 days). Total: approximately 8–12 weeks from first contact to delivery at your door.
Yes — matched sets are available at 3,000 pcs per shape. A two-product launch (30ml dropper serum + 50ml pump moisturiser) requires 3,000 pcs of each — 6,000 total. Both can be sampled and produced simultaneously to share the same delivery timeline. Loci Glass can produce matching sets in the same colour and finish for visual consistency across your skincare range.
