Where can we source 330ml NRB green glass bottles, and what are the typical costs and lead times for bespoke large-volume glass bottle orders?

For standard 330ml NRB green glass bottles, members suggest starting with established bottling companies and distributors: **Clearly Drinks** (Sunderland) and **HCC** (Hereford) are recommended as starting points. For canning/bottling trials, **Bottled & Canned** and **Envirocan** are mentioned.

For large-volume bespoke bottles, members use these manufacturers: - **Verallia** — regularly used by multiple members - **Vetroelite** — recommended by several members; Italian supplier (vetreriaetrusca.it) - **Brunei Urban** — in use by community members - **Allied** — described as competitive choice with good reputation - **OI** — available but note 24-month lead time - **Kefla**, **Vetro**, and **Herastnik** — also mentioned as options

Typical costs and MOQs for bespoke bottles: tooling/molds typically run £15–30k with minimum orders of 25–40k units. Members recommend speaking directly to **Nolan** (contact shared privately within group). **Murphy and Sons** noted for competitive pricing, though slower lead times.

Caveats: Large-volume bespoke orders require significant upfront tooling investment and long lead times. OI specifically flagged for 24-month lead times. Smaller-scale needs may be better served by trial services like Bottled & Canned.
