starting new project and need help finding glass bottles (possibly custom)

[kostagr33k]

Hey guys, hope all is well.

The last few weeks I've been going crazy selling our families olive oil from Greece (Im located in NJ) with my Business partner. We have been going to several specialty stores and have noticed that retail is the right location for us to be, and not wholesale.

We have noticed that even the high end stores for Olive Oil and related products, are still not at the quality that we give. Many are still cutting their olive oil with VArious other olive/unknown oils like sesame/sunflower oils and that does not sit with us.


WE have decided to try and hit up as many farmers markets and grow from there in the coming months but we need to get the right packaging for our 100% pure Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Lakonia , Greece.

Image of a bottle we would love to use, most likely between 200-400ml:




If anyone has any pointers or could help us find a way to buy these bottles or produce them at a reasonable price, I would be very grateful (and will send a few bottles of our olive oil your way!)


As we are both into BTC , although in a limited fashion currently, we would also accept BTC for our product, once our next shipment and packaging is finalized!


Thanks

Go to a glass bottle factory.

Well thanks for that but I've been doing that. I was hoping someone had a better way or might know of some place that makes similar bottles as creating custom molds will run at least $30k for the mould if not double or triple that price! Would ideally want to find someone making this exact bottle or similar that we can just purchase in large quantities (north of 1000 bottles).

thanks!

You may have just done it! So was that some ninja search skills or something you knew about?

Good - hope it works out.

I just did a search on Google.  I used to do a lot of procurement for hard to find parts though, so maybe I search differently.

I'm on a different computer.  I'll check my history on the other computer tomorrow and send it to you.

Here is a certified searcher, maybe?

I know nothing about bottles, but like the olive oil. Hope you succeed in selling your family product.

thanks for the lookup! hope to learn some google tricks from your search.

As far as that course, might look into that. I think I *used* to be good at google searching but that was way back before many improvements it seems.

Apparently I used https instead of http, so it wasn't saved in my history.  Anyway, I know it wasn't convoluted.  I tried it again just now with these terms: glass bottle manufacturer green marasca

These results are better than the ones I had yesterday.

I think the main "trick" to searching for hard-to-find items where you know there ought to be good hits is to use your initial results to find industry specific terms that you didn't originally know about.  Then refine your search.  Often you can find these just by scanning the page of search results without even going to any of the sites.  In this case the bottles are known as marasca bottles.  And if you don't include "manufacturer" (or something similar) you will be flooded with Pier1 and other home décor results.
