Client Background
Our client is a family-owned French dairy manufacturer with over 40 years of expertise in hand-cured curd and fresh milk production. Committed to stable growth and building a traditional brand, they sought to comply with EU green regulations and replace plastic containers with eco-friendly alternatives to enhance the premium quality of their products. Their main milk product line is primarily packaged in glass bottles.
Our Challenges
When the client contacted Minghang, they faced three major challenges with their custom milk glass bottles project.
- Many suppliers could not meet stringent French food safety standards (e.g., non-specific glazes).
- Custom-sized bottles (e.g., curved, retro designs) were required to stand out on the shelf.
- The product had a tight supply window of only eight weeks before the summer peak season.
Problem Analysis
Our team analyzed the pain points: standard glass bottles would not pass the dairy's safety tests; custom molds required specialized tooling (which most factories avoid for small batches); and tight delivery deadlines could lead to quality defects. The core requirement was balancing compliance, customization, and speed for the glass milk bottles.
Minghang's Solution
We took targeted measures to address the challenges:
- We used food-grade, lead-free quartz glass that meets EU standards and third-party-tested glaze.
- We leveraged in-house mold design to create the vintage-style curved bottle in just 10 days (reducing mold manufacturing time by 50%).
- We adjusted the production line (adding a second run) and produced 50,000 pcs customized milk glass bottles in just seven weeks, meeting delivery targets ahead of schedule.

Final Results
Their summer product launch was a success: the milk glass bottles generated a 22% increase in product exposure and sales. They renewed their partnership with us, saw a 70% increase in orders for customized milk glass bottles, and expanded their partnership with five additional French retailers, demonstrating that our solution not only addressed their immediate challenges but also supported their growth in the French market.
