The basics to consider
Which is the right fit for me?
The decision to opt for a collection or a custom/bespoke design ultimately depends on your specific needs and preferences. The choice between a collection or bespoke design will therefore depend on your budget, timeline, and branding goals.
A collection bottle is versatile and can be used for multiple types of drinks. On the other hand, a bespoke bottle is custom-made with a unique shape or design that caters to the specific needs of a particular customer.
Let’s check the pros and cons of both.
Collection bottles
Pros
• no entry costs
• stock availability
• shorter lead time
• lower MOQ
• wide range of bottle shapes
• full-service solution
Cons
• no major modifications to the shape
• bottle shape could already be seen on the market
Collections typically offer a wide range of bottle designs in various sizes that are readily available for purchase. The possibilities for personalization are endless even when choosing a collection bottle. Various colours, labels, other decoration techniques and various closures are available. To a limited extent, we can also customize the shape of the collection bottle itself.
Bespoke bottles
Pros
• uniqueness
• custom design
• New Product Development & Design Studio team support
• full-service solution
Cons
• entry costs (design, mould, etc.)
• development (longer time to the market)
With a custom bottle, you have the opportunity to work with a team of experts who can create a bottle that perfectly reflects your brand vision and values. This option may take longer to produce, but the result can be well worth the investment.

What certificates should I pay attention to?
When selecting a glass packaging manufacturer for your project, it may be tempting to choose the first contact you come across or the supplier with the lowest price. However, these approaches could result in choosing a manufacturer who doesn’t prioritize your needs. That’s why it’s important to inquire about the certifications of potential suppliers. What glass packaging certifications should you consider?
ISO 9001 establishes the criteria for a quality management system that can be utilized by any organization, irrespective of its size or industry. Currently, over one million companies and organizations in more than 170 countries are certified to ISO 9001.
ISO 14001 sets out the criteria for an environmental management system and can be certified. Designed for any type of organization, regardless of its activity or sector, it can assure company management and employees as well as external stakeholders that environmental impact is being measured and improved.
HACCP certificate. Due to growing concerns for people’s health, there is an increasing awareness around the world about the significance of food safety. Therefore, anyone operating in the food sector must ensure that their products or services do not harm the consumer. A HACCP certificate or statement of conformity serves as evidence that an organization’s production process has been audited by a team of competent professionals and meets the requirements of the HACCP system. Additionally, it is regularly monitored by an independent body that issues the certificate or statement of conformity.
SMETA certificate, also known as Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit, is an ethical audit methodology that covers all aspects of responsible business practices. Businesses adopt SMETA to evaluate and improve working conditions and environmental performance in their own operations and supply chains. This audit methodology is designed to protect workers from hazardous conditions, discrimination, overwork, low pay, and forced labour.
