YAMEI Project Planning Guide
Small-Batch Semi-Custom Perfume Bottles and Packaging
Small-batch projects of 300–500 units are at the heart of YAMEI. Use suitable existing bottles and components, then customize decoration, color, labels, boxes and inserts around your brand. We also support larger-volume custom orders.
Catalogue combinations: 300 pieces. Logo printing or color coating: 500 pieces. Handmade bottles: 500 pieces and 30ml minimum.
A Practical First-Launch Route
Distinctive packaging without starting every component from zero
Many emerging fragrance brands need a presentation that feels considered and brand-specific, but a fully bespoke bottle can require more volume, development time, and tooling investment than an initial launch can support.
YAMEI helps brands begin with suitable existing bottle and packaging components, then customize the details that shape the final appearance. The result is neither an unbranded stock purchase nor a promise that every structure can be produced at a very small quantity.
What Semi-Custom Means
Proven components, shaped into a brand-specific presentation
A semi-custom project starts with existing bottle molds, compatible pumps, collars, caps, and packaging structures that can be reviewed for the project. Brand distinction is created through component selection, color, coating, printing, labels, box artwork, inserts, and the way the complete empty set is presented.
Existing does not mean guaranteed warehouse stock. Production timing, component availability, process compatibility, sample requirements, and MOQ are confirmed after the selected direction has been reviewed.
Customization Scope
Choose where the brand should be most visible
The strongest semi-custom projects focus investment on the details customers see and handle while keeping the technical foundation practical.
Stock Component Matching
- Compatible spray pumps
- Crimp collars
- No new cap or pump molds below 5,000 pieces
Brand Decoration
- Silk-screen printing
- Hot stamping and labels
- Coating, color, frosted, or gradient directions
Packaging
- Folding cartons and rigid boxes
- Inner trays and inserts
- Printing and surface finishing
All structures, components, colors, and processes are subject to component availability and project feasibility.
Choose the Development Route
Semi-custom first, fully custom when the project requires it
Both routes support serious fragrance projects. The right starting point depends on quantity, exclusivity, tooling, and launch priorities.
Small-Batch Semi-Custom
Start with suitable existing bottle and component structures, then customize the visible brand elements. This route is designed for first launches, market tests and projects that need more quantity flexibility.
- Existing bottle and component structures
- Brand-specific logo, color and decoration
- Custom labels, boxes and inserts
- Suitable for first launches and market testing
- Selected existing bottles start from 300 pieces; logo printing or color coating starts from 500 pieces
- Larger-volume semi-custom projects are also welcome
Handmade Bottle Development
No catalogue bottle feels right? Choose your own shape or send a reference. Handmade bottles start from 500 pieces and a minimum capacity of 30ml. Price is higher and depends on complexity.
- Exclusive bottle structures
- New mold development
- Technical sample or drawing review
- Longer development cycle and higher tooling requirements
- 500 pieces minimum; bottle capacity at least 30ml
- Stock caps can be matched after your inquiry
Project Scope
Bottle, packaging, or a coordinated complete set
Choose the part of the project that needs development. The original three project paths remain separate and use one structured RFQ process.
Quantity and Feasibility
A realistic route for different development levels
MOQ is reviewed from the selected bottle, components, decoration, packaging, and production steps. It is not an automatic promise based on one number.
Catalogue Product Combinations
From 300 pieces
Existing bottles, stock components and standard packaging.
Logo Printing or Color Coating
From 500 pieces
Custom logo printing or a sprayed color on the selected product.
Handmade Bottle Production
From 500 pieces · 30ml minimum
No suitable bottle? Small-batch handmade bottles start from 500 pieces, with a minimum capacity of 30ml. Pricing is higher than standard catalogue bottles and depends on the complexity of the design.
New Custom Caps or Spray Pumps
From 5,000 pieces + mold fees
Small-batch customization covers bottles and packaging. New custom caps or spray pumps require at least 5,000 pieces, plus a separately quoted mold fee. Existing stock caps and pumps can be matched to smaller orders.
Very small quantities are reviewed case by case and may be limited to available components and simplified decoration. Bottle and packaging start from 300 pieces; logo printing or color coating starts from 500 pieces.
Project Process
From an initial direction to coordinated production
The sequence keeps component selection, decoration, packaging fit, and commercial review connected.
- 01
Share the Project Direction
Provide quantity, capacity, reference images, brand artwork, destination market, and timing.
- 02
Review Feasibility
YAMEI reviews which existing bottle, cap, pump, box, insert, and decoration options may suit the brief.
- 03
Confirm Components
Suitable structures and compatible components are selected before finishing and packaging are finalized.
- 04
Confirm Decoration and Packaging
Logo, color, coating, labels, box printing, inserts, and presentation details are reviewed together.
- 05
Sampling or Pre-Production Review
Sampling requirements, fees, logistics, and approval steps are confirmed for the selected route.
- 06
Coordinated Production
Approved bottle, component, decoration, packaging, and empty-set assembly steps are followed as one project.
Lead time is quoted case by case after the bottle, decoration, packaging, and quantity are confirmed.
Review Both Development RoutesCoordinated Production
Specialist stages, brought together around one approved direction
Bottle supply, decoration, packaging, inserts, and final empty-packaging assembly may involve suitable specialist production stages. YAMEI coordinates the reviewed route as one project.
Specialist Decoration Stages
Reviewed coating, frosting, color finishing, silk-screen printing, hot stamping, or label application may be coordinated through suitable specialist production stages.
Packaging and Insert Matching
Existing box structures, inner trays, and inserts are matched around the confirmed empty bottle, pump, collar, and cap dimensions before production.
Final Empty-Packaging Assembly
Approved empty bottles, components, inserts, and packaging can be brought together for final empty-packaging assembly as one reviewed project.
Quality and Delivery Coordination
YAMEI coordinates quality review, production follow-up, and delivery preparation for the completed empty bottle and packaging project.
Commercial and feasibility conditions
Sample fees and related logistics costs are charged separately. Smaller-volume projects usually have a higher unit price than larger-volume production because specialist process setup, logistics, coordination, and final assembly are distributed across fewer units.
Final feasibility, available options, price, project quantity, and lead time are confirmed only after YAMEI reviews the complete bottle, component, decoration, packaging, and delivery requirements.
Who It Is For
Practical support for emerging fragrance projects
This route is designed for teams that need a credible branded presentation before committing to fully bespoke tooling.
Independent Brands
Build a first coordinated bottle and packaging direction around a manageable launch plan.
Market Testing
Evaluate selected existing-bottle and standard-packaging routes from 300 pieces without treating that quantity as a universal MOQ.
Limited Collections
Use existing structures and selected brand details for a focused product release.
Brand Extensions
Adapt an established visual identity to a new bottle, box, or complete empty set.
