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 starts from 300 pieces; spray color coating starts from 3,000 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 and logo printing start from 300 pieces; spray color coating starts from 3,000. Own-mold bottles start from 5,000 pieces on an automatic line. Custom caps start from 300 pieces in artificial stone, 3,000 in resin or 5,000 in zinc alloy, plus mold fees; spray pumps are supplied from stock. Mold and sampling fees for a custom bottle are quoted separately.

Can you make display bottles to my own design for exhibitions?

Yes. Display bottles for exhibitions and showrooms can be made to your own design from 500 pieces. The unit price is higher than for catalogue bottles, and mold and development sampling fees are separate. Production bottles on the fully automatic line start from 5,000 pieces. Tell us the size, shape, colour and decoration you need and we will confirm what is possible and quote it.

What is the MOQ for packaging?

Standard packaging starts from 300 pieces. Logo printing also starts from 300 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.

Can I fill these perfume bottles myself, and do they work with filling machines?

YAMEI supplies empty bottles and does not provide perfume filling. The bottles and components are selected so that filling is practical at your end: neck finishes follow common standard sizes, and crimp spray pumps are matched to the bottle so an assembly can be filled by hand for a small batch or run on standard filling and crimping equipment. Confirm your filler neck specification, pump type, and capacity tolerance against an approved sample before bulk production.

What is the minimum quantity for a new custom glass bottle mold?

A brand-owned glass bottle mold starts from 5,000 pieces on an automatic line. Custom caps start from 300 pieces in artificial stone, 3,000 in resin or 5,000 in zinc alloy; spray pumps are not custom-made. Both carry a separately quoted mold fee and a longer development cycle, and complex designs may require higher quantities. If the first launch is smaller, an existing bottle shape with custom color, decoration, and a dedicated box is normally the more practical route.

Does YAMEI supply diffuser, essential oil and attar bottles?

Yes. Besides perfume bottles, caps and pumps, the catalogue includes reed diffuser and hanging car diffuser bottles, essential oil dropper, roll-on and mist spray bottles, and attar bottles and oud / bakhoor jars for Gulf-style fragrance. Many photos show a series; capacity, neck, price and minimum quantity are confirmed on request for these ranges.
