Frosted Glass Bottles

Frosted Glass Bottles for Serums, Oils, Toners, and Lotions

What frosted glass bottles are used for

Frosted glass has a matte, slightly textured surface that scatters light, so the bottle looks soft instead of shiny. Frosted glass bottles are used for face serums, facial oils, toners, body oils, lotions, hair oils, essential oil blends, and fragrance. Skincare, hair care, and wellness brands buy them to fill at their own site. A frosted bottle feels smooth in the hand, hides fingerprints better than clear glass, and gives a clean backdrop for a logo. Glass does not take on the smell of the contents and can be recycled.

Sizes and how to measure

Bottles are sold by the volume they hold. Common sizes are 0.5 oz, 1 oz (30 ml), 2 oz (60 ml), 4 oz (120 ml), 8 oz (240 ml), and 16 oz (480 ml). The 1 oz frosted glass bottles suit serums and oils, and 2 oz frosted glass bottles suit toners and face mists. The 4 oz frosted glass bottles and 8 oz frosted glass bottles suit lotions, body oils, and hair care. Check the total height with the closure on, because that sets the height of your box. Measure the bottle diameter and the flat area of the label. The closure must match the neck of the bottle, so send us the size you want and we confirm the match.

Example sizes (approximate and for reference only; we confirm the exact size before you order):

• 1 oz (30 ml): about 1.3 in wide x 3.5 in tall
• 2 oz (60 ml): about 1.6 in wide x 4 in tall
• 4 oz (120 ml): about 2 in wide x 5 in tall
• 8 oz (240 ml): about 2.4 in wide x 6 in tall
• 16 oz (480 ml): about 2.9 in wide x 7.4 in tall

Frosted and black finishes

A frosted finish is a matte surface that is produced in the glass or applied as a coating. Clear frosted glass lets a little light through, and the color of the liquid shows softly. Black frosted glass bottles have a matte black finish that hides the product and feels bold and modern. Colored frosted coatings, such as white, pink, or green, can match a brand palette. A coated finish can mark if it is rubbed or soaked, so tell us how your customer will use the bottle and we suggest the best option. Frosted bottles in one size and color are the easiest way to start.

Closures

The closure sets how the product is used. A dropper, with a glass pipette and a rubber or silicone bulb, suits oils and serums. A lotion pump suits lotions and body wash, and a fine mist sprayer suits toners and face mists. A screw cap suits liquids that are poured. Collars and caps come in black, white, gold, and silver. We confirm the bottle and closure match on the proof.

Printing, coating, and finishes

Custom frosted glass bottles can carry a logo in several ways. Screen printing puts one or two colors straight on the glass, and white or black ink stands out well on a frosted surface. Hot stamp foil in gold or silver gives a sharp metallic mark. A pressure sensitive label gives full color and room for text. Frosted glass bottles wholesale orders can be printed with the same design on every bottle, or left plain if you prefer to label them yourself. Wholesale frosted glass bottles in one size and color can share a single dieline across several products.

Labeling notes

If your bottle holds a skincare, hair care, or personal care product, the label must carry the text that the law requires for your product, such as ingredients, net contents, and warnings. You supply the text and the layout, and we print what you send. We do not write or check label text or claims, so please have your final label reviewed by a person who knows the rules for your product.

Artwork and dieline

We send a free dieline that shows the print area on your bottle, or the size of your label. Supply artwork as a vector AI or PDF file with fonts outlined and images at 300 DPI in CMYK. Screen print and foil designs work best as single color vector files. If you have no artwork yet, free design support and a free consultation are included, and our team can help lay out the logo and the text from your brand colors. You review and approve the artwork before production starts.
