Background, typical uses and selection points for this product. We can send model drawings, technical data and samples to support your evaluation.
The 50 ml miniature, known as the airplane bottle or nip, is the single serve of the spirits world, long associated with in-flight service and hotel minibars. Its small size makes it ideal for sampling new products, building tasting and gift sets, and giving a brand affordable, collectible exposure.
Despite the small volume, it is a true scaled-down spirit bottle. Our standard model has straight sides and rounded shoulders, a clean shape that suits almost any label.
We supply miniatures for airline and travel service, hotel minibars, spirits sampling programs, gift and advent-style tasting sets, promotional runs, duty-free and wedding or event favors. Miniatures are also widely collected, so brands treat their decoration with the same care as the full-size bottle. The 30 ml and 100 ml sizes cover tasting flights and larger trial packs, and bartender kits often combine several sizes.
A small, robust body carries an ROPP or CT screw finish that suits travel and retail, with a tamper-evident band on the cap. The proportions can stay generic or echo a brand’s signature bottle on a custom mold. Labels, screen print and sleeves all work at this scale, though the decoration area is small, so artwork needs to be simplified rather than shrunk.
Miniatures run on high-count filling lines, and a leak-tight closure is essential for a bottle that travels in bags, carts and pockets. Fill accuracy is checked closely, since a small variation is a visible share of the bottle. Airlines, hotels and some markets set their own size and labeling rules, so check those with your customer.
We can supply samples with matching caps for your leak and line trials.
Miniatures are formed by NNPB or blow-and-blow for tight glass control at small size, then annealed, coated and gauged so the cap seals reliably on a small neck.
We can produce a miniature that mirrors your full-size bottle, emboss your name on the shoulder, and supply printed ROPP caps and display trays for gift and retail sets. Standard models ship from stock molds with short lead times.
Customization
We specify the container, closure, decoration and transit packing as one package, so every part fits and arrives ready for your filling line.

We match caps, liners, pumps, droppers and stoppers to the neck finish and check the seal against your contents and filling process.
