Types of Glass Bottle

Shang art Glass Bottle

High-clear glass bottle you see the wine’s natural colors (like amber, ruby red, etc.) clearly. This makes consumers feel closer to the product. Compared with porcelain bottles, it’s better for brands that focus on natural purity or young fashion styles.

You can use dozens of craft methods on glass bottles, such as making them frosted, painting them with gradient colors, or doing laser engraving inside. You can make simple clear bottles for a “light luxury” look, use colored coatings for a “trendy” style, or add 3D patterns for a “vintage” feel. It works for everything from mass-market products to high-end custom orders.

There are lots of classic bottle styles in stock (like Bordeaux bottles and special-shaped bottles). For small orders: simple customization (such as adding labels or gold stamping) starts at 180 bottles, and you can get them in 10 days. This is perfect for test sales or urgent co-branded products. For bigger orders (2000 bottles or more), you can even make a special mold just for you. You can design everything from the bottle’s shape to the craft details—it’s both flexible and unique.

Wine Type Glass Bottles: Where Tradition Meets Custom Design

Wine bottles are probably the most iconic type of glass bottle. Walk into any wine shop, and you’ll see rows of them—tall, thick, and full of character.

But did you know there are specific types of wine glass bottles for different wines? Let me explain, with stories from our clients.

Red Wine Glass Bottles

Red wine needs to “breathe,” so red wine glass bottles are usually thick-walled with a wide body. The most common shape is the “Bordeaux” bottle—tall, with shoulders that slope inward. This shape keeps sediment at the bottom when pouring, which is great for aged red wines.

White Wine Glass Bottles

White wine is more delicate, so white wine glass bottles are often thinner and lighter. The “Burgundy” shape is popular here—shorter with a wider body, which helps cool the wine faster. Most white wine bottles are clear or light green to show the wine’s pale color.

Perfume Glass Bottles: Beauty in Every Detail

Perfume is all about luxury and emotion—and the bottle is just as important as the scent. Perfume glass bottles are the most creative type of glass bottle—they can be tall, short, round, square, frosted, colored, or decorated with rhinestones.

At Shang Art, we work with many perfume brands, from big names to indie creators, and we know how to make a bottle that tells a story.

Sodium-Calcium Glass Bottles: The Workhorse of Packaging

When most people think of a “typical” glass bottle, they’re probably picturing a sodium-calcium glass bottle. This is by far the most common type of glass bottle on the market—and for good reason.

Sodium-calcium glass is affordable, easy to produce in large quantities, and has excellent clarity that showcases your product beautifully. It’s also durable enough for everyday use, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.

At Shang Art, sodium-calcium glass bottles make up about 60% of our inventory. We stock them in various shapes and sizes: from 50ml mini bottles perfect for sample-sized cosmetics or premium spirits, to 2L large bottles for juices, sauces, and condiments. Last month, a local juice brand came to us needing 5,000 250ml sodium-calcium glass bottles for their new organic apple juice line.

They wanted a simple, cylindrical shape with a narrow neck to fit their existing caps, but they also wanted a subtle embossment of their logo on the side. Thanks to our in-house design team and pre-stocked bottles, we didn’t have to start from scratch.

We adjusted the mold slightly for the embossment and delivered the order in just 7 days—far faster than the 2-week timeline they’d been quoted by another supplier.

One of the best things about sodium-calcium glass bottles is their versatility in decoration. They take screen printing, labeling, and even spray painting extremely well.

A craft beer brand we worked with last year chose 330ml sodium-calcium bottles and had us add a matte black spray finish with gold foil stamping for their limited-edition stout. The result? The bottles stood out on store shelves, and the brand sold out of the batch in just two weeks. If you’re on a budget but still want a high-quality look, sodium-calcium glass bottles are almost always the way to go.

Borosilicate Glass Bottles: The Heat-Resistant Champion

If your product requires heat resistance—think hot sauces, honey that needs to be warmed, or essential oils that might be stored near heat sources—borosilicate glass bottles are the answer.

This type of glass bottle is made with boron trioxide, which gives it exceptional thermal shock resistance. Unlike regular glass, borosilicate glass can go from the fridge to a hot water bath without cracking, making it a favorite for products that need to be heated or sterilized.

Borosilicate glass bottles are also popular in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries because they’re non-reactive. This means they won’t interact with the ingredients in your product, keeping it fresh and pure for longer.

We stock borosilicate bottles in sizes ranging from 10ml (for essential oils) to 1L (for bulk skincare products), and we offer customizations like dropper caps or pump dispensers to make them even more functional. While borosilicate glass is slightly more expensive than sodium-calcium glass, the added benefits are well worth it for products that demand durability and purity.

Crystal Glass Bottles: Elevate Your Premium Products

For luxury brands—think high-end spirits, premium wines, or luxury perfumes—crystal glass bottles are the ultimate choice. This type of glass bottle is made with lead oxide (or lead-free alternatives for health-conscious brands), which gives it a higher refractive index and a brilliant, sparkling appearance.

Crystal glass is also heavier than regular glass, giving it a substantial, premium feel that signals quality to customers.

At Shang Art, we understand that crystal glass bottles are an investment, so we offer flexible options to make them accessible even for small luxury brands. We have a selection of stock crystal bottle shapes that can be customized with etching, engraving, or foil stamping, which is more cost-effective than creating a completely custom mold.

For brands with larger budgets, we can create fully custom crystal bottles in any shape or size. We also work with a network of artisans who specialize in hand-blown crystal glass for one-of-a-kind pieces that truly set your brand apart.
