Frequently Asked Questions

What to Know Before You Start

Practical answers about semi-custom development, fully custom projects, MOQ, components, decoration, sampling, and project review.

Project Guidance

Clear answers for both development routes.

Every custom project is reviewed before feasibility, MOQ, price, samples, or timing are confirmed.

What products does YAMEI provide?

YAMEI supplies empty perfume bottles, caps, spray pumps, collars, related components, labels, cartons, gift boxes, inserts, and coordinated customization for international fragrance and beauty brands. Perfume liquid, formulation, filling, finished perfume manufacturing, and flammable-liquid transportation are outside the current scope.

Can I order perfume bottles only?

Yes. Perfume Bottle Only is an independent route for empty bottles, components, color, surface treatment, and logo decoration. Packaging is optional.

Can I order packaging only?

Yes. Packaging Only is an independent service. YAMEI can review boxes and inserts for an existing product or container without requiring a YAMEI perfume bottle purchase.

Can packaging be used for skincare, candles, or essential oils?

Yes. Packaging projects may support perfume bottles, skincare products, essential oils, candles, home fragrance, and other beauty or fragrance products. Final structure and insert fit depend on the product dimensions, weight, presentation, and technical review.

What is the MOQ for selected existing perfume bottles?

Selected existing perfume bottles start from 300 pieces. This is a planning guideline rather than a guarantee. Current production availability, bottle structure, components, decoration, and quality requirements must be reviewed before confirmation.

What is the MOQ for semi-custom perfume bottles?

Logo printing or color coating starts from 500 pieces. Semi-custom work may include reviewed color, coating, frosting, logo decoration, labels, caps, pumps, collars, boxes, and inserts applied to an existing technical foundation.

What is the MOQ for fully custom perfume bottles?

Catalogue combinations start from 300 pieces; logo printing or color coating starts from 500. Handmade bottles start from 500 pieces and 30ml. New custom caps or pumps require 5,000 pieces plus mold fees. Handmade bottle pricing depends on design complexity.

What is the MOQ for packaging?

Standard packaging starts from 300 pieces. Logo printing starts from 500 pieces. Materials, structure, inserts and finishes are reviewed for quotation.

Can I customize the bottle color?

Color coating, frosting, gradient color, and other reviewed finishing directions may be available depending on the bottle material, surface, quantity, and process compatibility. A sample or production reference is normally required before confirmation.

Can YAMEI make special caps, magnetic structures, or irregular bottles?

Special closures, magnetic structures, irregular bottle designs, non-standard capacities, and complex packaging structures are reviewed case by case. An initial review does not guarantee feasibility, tooling conditions, MOQ, price, or lead time.

How long does sampling take?

Sampling usually takes 7–10 working days. The actual time depends on design, materials, processes, tooling, technical assessment, and the information available for review.

How long does bulk production take?

Normal bulk production usually takes 15–30 working days after final specifications and production details are confirmed. Quantity, process, tooling, sample approval, and production scheduling may change the final timeline.

Do sample fees include shipping?

No. Samples are charged separately and sample freight is paid by the customer. The shipping method and cost are confirmed before dispatch.

Can a sample fee be credited to a bulk order?

A sample fee may be credited toward a confirmed bulk order when stated in the project quotation or written confirmation. It is not an automatic promise for every project.

When is payment required?

Full payment is required when the order is placed. Final commercial and trade terms are confirmed in the quotation before the order proceeds.

Do you support FOB, CIF, and EXW?

FOB, CIF, EXW, and other trade terms may be discussed based on the project. Bulk freight, cost responsibility, destination, and risk allocation are defined by the final quotation and agreed trade term.

Does YAMEI provide perfume liquid or filling?

No. YAMEI supplies empty bottles, components, labels, boxes, inserts, and related project coordination. Perfume liquid, fragrance formulation, filling, finished perfume manufacturing, and flammable-liquid transportation are not included.

What files should I upload?

Upload the most useful JPG, JPEG, PNG, or PDF references available, such as a logo, artwork, bottle image, product or container image, packaging reference, drawing, or dieline. Each file may be up to 2 MB, with a maximum of five files and a recommended combined size of 6 MB.

Can I submit a project with only a sketch or concept?

Yes. A completed technical drawing is not required for an initial review. A clear concept, reference image, sketch, sample, logo, intended quantity, dimensions, or packaging direction can be enough to begin a feasibility discussion.

How is the final quotation determined?

Pricing is confirmed after reviewing the product, quantity, materials, components, decoration, packaging, tooling, samples, destination, delivery requirements, and agreed trade terms. The website does not generate an automatic price or production approval.

YAMEI invites your vote: Should workers have two days off each week?

Workers’ access to two days off each week has sparked widespread discussion in China. We’d like your advice: should this be a requirement when YAMEI chooses its partner factories?
