Short answer
To source perfume bottles from China, choose the bottle size and neck first, then ask one supplier for a written quote that covers the bottle, spray pump, cap, decoration and box as one set. Test samples with your own perfume before you pay for production, and get the minimum order, lead time and shipping method in writing. Many Chinese glass perfume bottles come from Xuzhou in Jiangsu province; at QARURA, a Xuzhou sourcing partner, stock sets with your logo start from 200 pieces per design and usually take 15–30 working days after sample approval and payment.
Where are perfume bottles made in China?
Xuzhou, in Jiangsu province, is one of the largest glass bottle production clusters in China. Glass bottles, spray pumps, caps and boxes are usually made by different specialist factories, so a finished perfume bottle is assembled from several suppliers even when you only see one invoice.
Should you buy from a factory or a sourcing partner?
| Glass factory direct | Sourcing partner | |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum order | Often 5,000 to 10,000 pieces per item | From 200 pcs per design at QARURA |
| What you get | One part, usually the glass only | Bottle, pump, cap, decoration and box as one set |
| Fit between parts | Your job to match and test | Checked together before shipping |
| Contacts | One per part | One for the whole set |
| Best for | Large, repeat volumes of one item | New and growing brands, small runs, many SKUs |
QARURA is a trading and sourcing company, not a factory. We work with glass, closure and box factories around Xuzhou and ship complete, fit-checked sets.
What should you send in a quote request?
- Capacity (for example 30 ml or 50 ml) and the bottle item number, if you have one
- Neck size and type: 13, 15 or 18 mm, crimp or screw
- Quantity per scent and number of scents
- Decoration and artwork (vector AI or PDF)
- Box style, or say you will source the box yourself
- Destination country and whether you prefer express, air or sea freight
- The date you need the parts at your filler
You can build this list on the site: add bottles, pumps and caps to your project and send it from the contact page. A written quote follows within 24 hours.
How do you check quality before production?
- Order samples of the full set: bottle, pump and cap.
- Fill them with your own perfume and test for leaks, spray and cap fit. See the sample testing checklist.
- Approve the decoration on a decorated sample or a digital proof.
- Keep one approved set as your reference sample and compare the first production goods against it.
How do payment and shipping work?
Payment terms and accepted payment methods are stated in your written quote, together with the price, quantity and lead time.
Perfume bottles are shipped by express courier, air freight or sea freight, packed to protect glass. Shipping is quoted separately for each destination. Ask your supplier which Incoterm the price uses: EXW means you collect from the supplier, FOB means the goods are loaded at a Chinese port, and DDP means duties and delivery to your door are included. Unless the price is DDP, import duty and taxes in your country are paid by you.
What are the warning signs when choosing a supplier?
- No samples before production.
- A price for a bottle with no neck size or pump type stated.
- Minimum order or lead time given only in chat, never in a written quote.
- Bottles and pumps from different sources with no fit test.
- No answer about who arranges filling. QARURA supplies empty packaging only; perfume oil and filling are arranged by you or your perfumer.
