The selection of raw materials for glass bottles is not generalized. Depending on the different uses of glass bottles, the choice of raw materials is also different.
Usually, for wine bottles, beer bottles, olive oil bottles, carboys, growlers, jugs and jars, we will choose soda-lime glass or flint glass (some people call it high grade white glass) according to customer requirements. Among them, soda-lime glass is strong and durable while also having the advantages of being economical and affordable, and is widely used in glass bottle manufacturing.
Perfume Bottles and Liquor Bottles & Spirit Bottles mostly use flint glass (aka high grade white glass) or Extra Flint Glass (also called super flint glass, Crystal White Material). Flint glass has better transparency than soda-lime glass, and this material is suitable for most common alcoholic beverages, such as vodka, whiskey, rum, etc. Because flint glass has sufficient transparency, it can well show the color of the liquor. In addition, it has good physical strength and is suitable for mass production. Most everyday liquor bottles are made from this type of glass. Some economical perfume bottles are also made from this material.
Extra Flint Glass has the highest transparency and is almost colorless. Due to its low iron content and high purity, it can show a pure and clear optical effect. Therefore, it is often used in high-end applications, such as high-end spirit bottles, luxury brand perfume bottles, etc.
Pursuing high-end materials without considering the purpose will make your product lose its market competitiveness. Similarly, it is not a wise choice to only pursue cost reduction so that the tonality of the product cannot match the brand temperament.
