OEM/ODM Process
Plan Your Glass Packaging Project from Brief to Shipment
A successful OEM or ODM project depends on clear approval points throughout the process. Agree on the development approach, sample standard, production checklist and export packing plan before bulk production begins.

Option Selection
OEM and ODM Need Different Control Points
The first decision is not the bottle price. It is whether the project is driven by an existing specification or needs supplier-side development. That choice changes samples, tooling, file preparation, approval timing and risk.
OEM Option
Buyer-led specification
Best when you already have a bottle drawing, sample, artwork, closure requirement or approved retail package.
We assess whether your specification can be sourced or produced, then agree samples, responsibilities and inspection requirements with you.
Best when the product direction is clear but the bottle structure, closure system, finish or packing plan still needs development.
We propose suitable containers and development work, then confirm feasibility, sample availability and the project scope.

Project Stages
Eight Stages to Plan from Inquiry to Shipment
Use this framework to define your inputs and the deliverables we agree on at each stage. Availability, development feasibility, responsibilities and acceptance criteria need confirmation in the project scope.
01
Brief Intake
You provide
Product type, target capacity, use case, market, order quantity and launch timing.
Deliverables we agree on
Project brief with missing items marked before quotation starts.
02
Feasibility Check
You provide
Reference bottle, drawing, artwork, cap preference or target shelf style.
Deliverables we agree on
A feasibility assessment of available containers and any proposed modifications or new tooling, with risks and exclusions recorded.
03
Cost & Schedule
You provide
Estimated order quantity, sample deadline, decoration needs and shipment destination.
Deliverables we agree on
Quotation details, estimated tooling and sample costs, bulk production timing and other cost drivers.
04
Technical Files
You provide
Logo files, label dimensions, packaging artwork, compliance marks and carton requirements.
Appearance feedback, closure compatibility, fill-test feedback and final comments.
Deliverables we agree on
Approved sample standard for bottle, closure, finish, label and carton.
06
Pre-Production Setup
You provide
Deposit, final quantities, shipping marks and order split requirements.
Deliverables we agree on
Production specifications, materials plan, decoration setup and quality checklist.
07
Bulk Production
You provide
Confirmation that the approved specifications are unchanged, or documented change requests.
Deliverables we agree on
Agreed production responsibilities, component specifications, decoration requirements and any in-process checks, with required records defined.
08
Inspection & Export
You provide
Final shipping method, forwarder details and destination document needs.
Deliverables we agree on
Final inspection and packing requirements, loading records, shipping documents and coordination responsibilities.
Quality Gates
Agree on Approval Standards Before Production
Glass packaging has many variables: weight, neck finish, decoration position, closure fit, carton spacing and transport loads. Agree on the relevant checks, acceptance criteria and inspection responsibilities before placing an order.
Structure Gate
Agree on capacity, weight, finish dimensions, glass distribution, stability and carton-fit requirements, supported by the selected drawing and samples.
Closure Gate
Specify compatibility, sealing and usability checks for the selected assembly; agree on application-torque requirements and verification methods for threaded closures.
Appearance Gate
Approve appearance references and agree on color, decoration position, label alignment, tolerances and acceptance criteria.
Packing Gate
Define dividers, carton requirements, pallet layout, marks and loading method; agree on inspections or tests and the records required before shipment.
Risk Control
Project Risks to Address Before Ordering
Address unclear specifications, untested closures, decoration feasibility and packing decisions during planning. Document approved requirements and the procedure for any later changes.
Quotation drift
Lock the specification basis before comparing prices.
Sample mismatch
Record bottle, finish, closure and packing as one approved standard.
Closure leakage
Check neck finish, liner, sealing method and product compatibility together, including application torque for threaded closures.
Decoration variance
Confirm print area, color tolerance and handling durability before bulk production.
Export breakage
Define divider, carton, pallet and loading method before production starts.
Timeline pressure
Separate stock-container projects from those involving new molds or complex decoration.
Export Release
Bulk Orders Require More Than Finished Bottles
Glass packaging needs export planning before cartons are sealed. Packing decisions protect the approved product, reduce breakage risk and keep the shipment traceable.
Carton Engineering
Specify dividers, inserts and carton performance for the filled package and shipping route; confirm the packing design and any required tests.
Pallet Protection
We assess corner guards, wrapping, straps and stacking arrangements for the selected load and route, and agree a suitable pallet plan with you.
Document Support
List the packing records, carton marks, loading photos and shipping documents you require, and we will agree on responsibilities with you and your freight forwarder.
