Custom caps: Injection molding for plastic caps requires 5,000+ pcs. Zamac die-casting requires 3,000+ pcs.

Case Study

A Brazilian startup needed only 2,500 bottles for their initial launch but couldn't find a factory willing to produce such a small custom run. GPBottles proposed a stock 50ml bottle with custom silk-screen printing and a stock Zamac cap with custom plating. The total order of 2,500 pcs was fulfilled at $1.10/unit, enabling the brand to launch with professional packaging on a startup budget. After 6 months, they scaled to 15,000 pcs per order.
