Key Tips for a Successful Bottle Design

✅ Balance aesthetics with manufacturability — beautiful but impossible to produce helps no one
✅ Think shelf-first — what will make your bottle stand out from 3 feet away?
✅ Start with function — size, volume (e.g. 700ml, 750ml, 1L), and bottling line compatibility
✅ Build for brand recall — signature shapes, textures, and logos create long-term recognition
✅ Plan ahead — mold development and sampling can take 30–45 days minimum
