Products & capabilities

What types of glass bottles does Rango Packaging produce?
Rango Packaging manufactures perfume bottles, cosmetic jars and bottles (serum, lotion, cream), essential oil and roll-on bottles, reed-diffuser bottles, room-spray bottles, and custom-shape glass containers for niche and luxury brands.
What capacities (sizes) of glass bottles are available?
Standard capacities range from 5 ml roll-on bottles up to 500 ml diffuser and home-spray bottles. The most common SKUs sit between 30 ml and 100 ml for perfumes and 30 ml–200 ml for cosmetic and skincare formats. Custom volumes are possible through dedicated mold development.
What decoration and finishing services do you offer?
Available decoration techniques include color spray coating (glossy, matte, frosted, metallic), acid frosting, silk-screen printing (multi-color and UV), hot stamping (gold, silver, holographic), pad printing, labeling (paper, transparent, metallic), engraving and full assembly with pumps, sprayers, droppers or screw caps.
Can Rango Packaging match a Pantone color or custom finish?
Yes. Rango Packaging matches Pantone references for spray coating and printing, and develops custom finish combinations (for example matte black with silk-screen logo and hot-stamped neck band). Color and finish approvals are confirmed via physical samples before mass production.

OEM, ODM & customization

What is the difference between OEM and ODM at Rango Packaging?
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) means Rango Packaging produces glass bottles to the client's existing design, drawing or sample. ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) means Rango Packaging's in-house design and engineering team develops a new bottle shape, mold and decoration program from a brief, brand reference or moodboard supplied by the client.
How long does it take to develop a custom glass bottle mold?
Mold development for a fully custom glass bottle typically takes 30 to 45 days from design freeze to first sample. This covers 3D design, mold fabrication on CNC equipment, trial production and sample shipment. Standard catalog bottles skip this step.
Who owns the mold after development?
When the client funds the mold tooling, the mold is dedicated to that client and stored at Rango Packaging's facility. The client retains commercial ownership of the design, and the mold is used exclusively for their orders.
Can Rango Packaging help with packaging design from scratch?
Yes. The in-house design team supports brand briefs from concept sketches, 3D renderings and structural drawings through dieline creation for boxes and decoration mock-ups. Many private-label clients start a project with only a moodboard.

MOQ, samples & lead time

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for glass bottles?
Standard catalog glass bottles start from an MOQ of around 3,000–5,000 pieces per SKU. Fully custom bottles with new molds typically start at 10,000 pieces per SKU. Decoration combinations (color, printing, hot stamping) usually require 3,000 pieces per finish variant.
Can I order samples before placing a bulk order?
Yes. Plain glass samples from existing molds are available, and decorated pre-production samples (PPS) are produced once decoration artwork and color references are confirmed. Sample fees and courier costs are quoted per project and typically credited against the first bulk order.
What is the typical lead time for production?
Lead time for standard catalog bottles is approximately 25–35 days after deposit. Custom-decorated programs run 35–50 days. Projects requiring new mold development add 30–45 days for tooling before production starts.
What payment terms does Rango Packaging accept?
Standard terms are 30% deposit by T/T wire transfer with the balance paid against the bill of lading copy before shipment. L/C at sight is supported for larger orders. Payment is invoiced in USD or EUR depending on the contract.

Quality, materials & compliance

What type of glass is used?
Rango Packaging primarily uses high-clarity soda-lime glass for perfume, cosmetic and home-fragrance applications. The material is FDA compliant for cosmetic contact and complies with EU REACH. Premium projects can be quoted in extra-flint or low-iron glass for higher clarity.
How is product quality controlled?
Every production batch goes through dimensional inspection, visual defect inspection (bubbles, scratches, color deviation), neck-finish gauging for pump/sprayer fit, drop and impact testing, and decoration adhesion testing (tape test, alcohol rub). Final AQL inspection follows AQL 2.5 for major defects and AQL 4.0 for minor defects by default.
Are the bottles safe for fragrance and skincare formulations?
Yes. The glass and decoration coatings are tested for resistance to alcohol-based perfume formulas and to common cosmetic actives. Compatibility tests with specific client formulations can be arranged on request before mass production.

Shipping & logistics

How are glass bottles packed for export?
Bottles are individually compartmented in EPE foam or corrugated dividers, packed into export-grade master cartons and stacked on heat-treated wooden pallets that meet ISPM 15 phytosanitary requirements. Carton drop tests are performed for each new bottle shape.
What shipping methods do you support?
Rango Packaging ships FOB Shanghai or Ningbo by default, and also supports EXW, CIF and DAP terms. Sea freight (FCL and LCL), air freight and rail freight to Europe are all available. Door-to-door delivery with customs clearance can be arranged through partner forwarders.
Can Rango Packaging act as a one-stop packaging supplier?
Yes. Beyond glass bottles, Rango Packaging coordinates matching pumps, sprayers, droppers, screw caps, FEA collars, outer boxes and inserts, then assembles and ships the complete packaging kit in one container to simplify the brand's supply chain.
