Where can I find reliable glass bottle suppliers for custom lightweight bottle shapes?

Members facing urgent glass sourcing challenges recommend reaching out to established suppliers and intermediaries who can help navigate current stock constraints. Key contacts and options:

- **Allied Glass (Leeds)** — contact John, their UK sales director; also has an "Emerging brands" division that may offer solutions - **Spiritbridge** — has a strong network for sourcing custom bottles; members recommend emailing support@spiritbridge.io or dropping a direct note to Jonathan for assistance - **Oliver** — mentioned as having a great network for glass sourcing (contact details not provided in discussion) - **Drinks Aisle** — another potential supplier to contact (specific contact details not shared) - **Secondary market/excess stock** — members occasionally have surplus bottles available (e.g. discontinued Herbalist/Duppy bottles); worth asking in the community if you need immediate inventory

**Important context:** Members noted significant global stock shortages in early 2024, with some suppliers facing 6+ month out-of-stock periods. It's advisable to have conversations with intermediaries like Spiritbridge or established suppliers with diverse networks (Allied Glass, Oliver) who may have contingency options or access to alternative lightweight shapes that match your requirements.
