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: 300 pieces. Spray color coating: 3,000 pieces. Your own bottle mold: 5,000 pieces.
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
- Custom caps from 300 pieces in stone, 3,000 in resin or 5,000 in zinc alloy
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 and logo printing start from 300 pieces; spray color coating starts from 3,000 pieces
- Larger-volume semi-custom projects are also welcome
Own Bottle Mold Development
No catalogue bottle feels right? Choose your own shape or send a reference. A bottle from your own mold is made on a fully automatic line from 5,000 pieces. The unit price is slightly higher than a catalogue bottle, plus a one-time mold and sampling fee.
- Exclusive bottle structures
- New mold development
- Technical sample or drawing review
- Longer development cycle and higher tooling requirements
- 5,000 pieces minimum on a fully automatic line
- 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 Hot Foil
From 300 pieces
Custom logo printing or hot foil on the selected product. Spray color coating starts from 3,000 pieces.
Own Bottle Mold
From 5,000 pieces · automatic line
No suitable bottle? A bottle from your own mold is made on a fully automatic IS-machine line from 5,000 pieces. The unit price is slightly higher than a catalogue bottle, plus a one-time mold and sampling fee.
Custom Caps
From 300 pieces + mold fee
Small-batch customization covers bottles, packaging and artificial stone caps. Custom caps need their own mold: from 300 pieces in artificial stone, 3,000 in resin or 5,000 in zinc alloy, plus a separately quoted mold fee. Spray pumps are not custom-made; choose from our stock range of finishes.
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, including logo printing; spray color coating starts from 3,000 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.

Small-batch semi-custom FAQ
The final route is confirmed only after the complete project direction has been reviewed.
What does small-batch customization cover?
Bottles and packaging can be customized in small batches. Small-batch customization covers bottles, packaging and artificial stone caps. Custom caps need their own mold: from 300 pieces in artificial stone, 3,000 in resin or 5,000 in zinc alloy, plus a separately quoted mold fee. Spray pumps are not custom-made; choose from our stock range of finishes.
What is the minimum order?
Catalogue product combinations and logo printing start from 300 pieces. Spray color coating starts from 3,000 pieces.
Can I submit without choosing a cap?
Yes. Choose your bottle and send the inquiry. We will discuss your preferences and match additional stock caps that are not listed online.
Can I choose a cap without finding a bottle?
Yes. Send the cap reference: we can look for a matching stock bottle or develop your own bottle mold. No suitable bottle? A bottle from your own mold is made on a fully automatic IS-machine line from 5,000 pieces. The unit price is slightly higher than a catalogue bottle, plus a one-time mold and sampling fee.
What if neither the bottle nor the cap suits my brand?
Use the custom builder to choose capacity, shape, material, color and finishing. You can leave the cap open for stock matching.
Does YAMEI provide perfume filling?
No. YAMEI supplies empty bottles and packaging. Perfume liquid, formulation and filling are not included.
Prepare a Reviewable Project
Start with feasibility, not an unqualified price promise
Share the quantity, bottle or packaging direction, brand references, destination market, and timing. YAMEI will review suitable components, decoration, packaging, sampling, and the next practical step.
