A useful custom spirits bottle quotation starts with a complete packaging specification, not just a photograph and a request for the lowest price. Give the supplier the intended fill volume, bottle reference, closure, decoration, quantity and destination. Ask it to separate bottle supply, tooling, samples, finishing and freight so you can compare equivalent offers.
Define the Bottle Before Asking for a Price
State what will be filled into the bottle and the nominal capacity you want to sell. Attach a reference image or drawing and identify which features matter: a particular shoulder, a flat label panel, a heavy-looking base or an embossed logo. Mark any dimensions that your filling line cannot change.
If you have not chosen a design, request two routes: an existing catalog bottle and a new custom shape. A reference image is a starting point for discussion; it does not confirm that a mold exists or that the pictured finish is included.
Separate the Costs That Change the Decision
Ask whether the offer includes the closure, decoration and export packing. A low price for an undecorated bottle cannot be compared directly with a decorated bottle and matched cork. Request the quotation currency, quantity basis, validity and delivery basis.
Record one-time development charges separately from repeat-order costs. Ask which sample stages are included and when additional charges apply. Freight is meaningful only when the packed volume, gross weight and destination are defined. These questions help you compare the project rather than an isolated bottle price.
Use One RFQ Sheet for Every Supplier
Write down unresolved choices rather than allowing each supplier to make different assumptions. For example, ask for a clear bottle with an optional frosted finish as two separate lines. Name the selected closure and specify whether a printed carton is required.
Send the same sheet to the sourcing team, designer and filling partner. If a requirement changes, revise the sheet and identify the revision in the quotation request. This gives the buyer a practical record of what was priced and helps prevent an old artwork or capacity from returning during sample approval.
What to Ask RS Glass
Browse 700ml spirits bottle designs and 750ml spirits bottle designs, or share a reference for a different format. RS Glass can discuss bottle selection and customization, but the catalog alone does not establish current stock, MOQ or a confirmed production date.
Request a written quotation tied to the chosen specification and order quantity. If you need alternatives, explain your launch date and which design details are flexible. The response should make clear what remains to be sampled, what is already agreed and what is needed before the order can move forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a quote from a photo?
A photo supports initial selection. Accurate pricing still requires confirmation of capacity, dimensions, closure, decoration, quantity and packing.
Does one MOQ apply to every bottle?
Ask for the MOQ for the exact mold, glass specification and finishing process. Do not assume one website number covers every project.
How should I compare two quotes?
Normalize the bottle, closure, decoration, packing, quantity and delivery basis, then compare development charges and approval requirements separately.
