Plastic Serum Bottles
PET and PP serum bottles from 10ml to 50ml for brands shipping direct to consumers or building travel and discovery sizes. The visual gap with glass narrows considerably once you add a matte coat, a weighted closure and a well-fitted dropper.

Plastic Serum Bottles FAQ
Specific answers for this category, plus the questions we are asked on every project.
Not automatically. The tells are thin walls, a hollow-feeling cap and visible gate marks. Specifying a heavier wall, a weighted or metallised closure and a matte coating closes most of the perceived quality gap.
PET is widely used but gives less oxygen barrier than glass. For highly oxidation-sensitive actives we would suggest an airless format, an amber PET with a tight liner, or glass — and we will say so rather than sell the wrong pack.
It depends on the specification. Stock containers with labelling start low; custom colour, decoration and moulds raise the minimum. For custom paper boxes the standard minimum order quantity is 5,000 pieces per design, and selected paper box projects may start from a few hundred pieces subject to evaluation of the structure, material, printing method and finishing. Send the item and target quantity and we will quote the real minimum for that exact configuration rather than a generic figure.
Yes — standard samples, decoration samples and pre-production samples. Standard samples are usually available quickly; customised samples are quoted with the project because they require set-up.
Yes, through masterbatch resin colour, spray coating on glass or plastic, or printed colour on cartons. Coating gives full Pantone freedom at a lower minimum; masterbatch is more durable but needs a larger volume.
