## Custom Juice Bottle Design: From Concept to Shelf Want a bottle shape that's uniquely yours? A custom bottle design can set your brand apart and create instant recognition. Here's everything you need to know. ### Why Go Custom? - **Brand differentiation** — Stand out on crowded shelves - **IP protection** — Own your bottle design - **Optimized functionality** — Design for your specific product needs - **Consumer experience** — Create a bottle that feels right in hand ### The Custom Mold Process #### Step 1: Design Concept (1-2 weeks) Work with our team to develop your bottle concept. We'll consider: - Target volume (ml/oz) - Neck finish requirements - Label space needs - Grip and ergonomics - Shelf stability #### Step 2: 3D Design & Prototyping (2-3 weeks) Our engineers create detailed 3D models and can produce sample bottles for testing. #### Step 3: Mold Manufacturing (4-6 weeks) Custom molds are precision-engineered from steel and typically cost around **$4,000** — an investment that pays for itself quickly. #### Step 4: Production Trial (1 week) First production run to verify quality, dimensions, and performance. ### Custom Mold Costs - **Single-cavity mold:** ~$4,000 - **Multi-cavity mold:** $6,000-12,000 (for higher volume production) - **Mold lifespan:** 500,000+ bottles ### Minimum Order Quantities For custom bottles, our typical MOQ is **10,000 units** for the first order, then **5,000 units** for reorders. ### Timeline: Concept to First Delivery Expect approximately **8-12 weeks** from initial concept to first delivery of finished bottles.
