Case Study: Jam Bottles Wholesale for an Italian Distributor

Background

A established Italian distributor specializing in food products demanded to expand its packaging range with premium jam bottles. Known for the supply of artisans and organic items, the company wanted to package that balanced functionality with visual appeal to strengthen its market status. The team contacted Minghang after successfully source custom jam bottles, which recognizes our expertise in glass bottles packaging solutions.

Our Challenges

The distributor faced many challenges with his previous suppliers. Standard jam bottles had frequent size lack, which disrupts labeling and retail displays. Additionally, durability issues motivated to break down during transport, increase costs and damage brand image. The company also needed bottles in several capabilities to complete both retail and wholesale customers, but struggled to find a supplier who is able to give custom solutions that were aligned with strict quality standards.

Problem Analysis

After discussion, we identified three main issues: inconsistent product quality, limited adaptation and packaging disability. Their existing bottles failed to meet the shelf presentation standards required by Italian retailers. They also needed branding flexibility for the label and the ability to separate their premium and standard lines. This analysis clarified that the distributor required a fully customized jam bottle solution that addresses design, durability and scalability.

Solution

Minghang collaborated with the distributor to design and build durable, leak-proof jam bottles with the same size in all capabilities. Custom molds were created to adjust the label design of their brand, ensuring bottles to fit smoothly fit on retail shelves. We optimized glass thickness for strength without adding excess weight, reducing transport risks. Multiple size options were produced to meet both household and wholesale demand, while offering the brand visual consistency across its product line.
