Ask the Collective
The questions independent drinks founders ask most — answered. Distilled from years of community knowledge so the good stuff never disappears in the feed again.
How can I get custom PET bottles manufactured based on an existing glass bottle design?
Members indicate that converting a glass bottle design to custom PET is feasible. The most reliable route appears to be connecting with someone experienced in this specific conversion process. **Jack Hawkins** (jackhawkins.io) has been referenced as a contact in this space. For detailed guidance, members recommend reaching out to others in the community who have direct experience—several people indicated willingness to make introductions via direct message.
Where can I source PET 5cl bottles, particularly with custom colours?
For small-format 5cl PET bottles with custom colour options, members have successfully used **Embaco** (www.embaco.com). They offer custom colours and tops — one member recently received a quote for blue bottles with pink tops. The supplier was reported as helpful and responsive to inquiries. This appears to be the go-to option for this size and customisation level within the community.
