About
A sourcing desk, not a single factory.
Optimizing Glass Bottle coordinates glass packaging sourcing and export from Shanghai, China, for spirits, wine, beer, cosmetics and food brands selling into overseas markets. A factory can only sell you what its own lines make. A desk can send each project to the plant that fits it.
How a brief finds its plant
Four things in your brief decide where it goes.
Projects are matched to the plant whose mould library, furnace schedule and decoration capability fit the shape and the volume — rather than routed to one fixed factory.

Done in-house, or by the shop that does it best.
One plant — the one that fits
Then the same paperwork, whichever plant it is.
- Technical drawing before tooling
- Samples gauged against it
- Inspection record per lot
