Brainstorming
Your bottle begins with an idea. Perhaps it’s something
novel. Or perhaps it’s a variation on an existing shape. Give
us a verbal description, a line drawing, or even a sketch on
the back of a napkin and we'll help you make it.

PRODUCTION
3D Modeling & Renderings
PROCESS Our 3D engineers will turn your idea into a realistic rendering
with depth and texture. During this stage, we incorporate your
decoration elements - labeling, frosting, closure, and tamper
seals - enabling you to visualize your idea from multiple angles.

Test Mold & Sampling


From the 3D model, we create a technical 2D drawing used
to design the test mold for the bottle prototypes. The proto-
typing process generally takes about 6 weeks, though varies
depending on how complex your design is. This is where
your idea becomes a reality.

Production
Once you have approved the prototypes, it will take 4 weeks
for us tool a full set of production molds. At this point,
scheduling and running a production usually takes 4-6
weeks. Your bottles will be packed in reshipper cartons and
stacked securely on pallets for shipping. In a few weeks
they will arrive at your distillery ready to be filled.
