Bangladeshi perfume and attar sellers buy perfume bottles in bulk mainly from Chinese glass bottle manufacturers and cosmetic packaging suppliers, either through a sourcing agent or by importing directly. The main choices are spray bottles (crimp or screw neck), roll-on attar bottles, dropper bottles and small sample vials, and the most important check is that every bottle, pump, cap and roller fits together and does not leak. DE International sources perfume bottles and closures from China and delivers them door-to-door to Dhaka, Chattogram and Sylhet; ask us for a current quote for your bottle style and quantity.

Which perfume bottle types do Bangladeshi sellers buy most?
| Bottle type | Closure | Typical use | Key check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crimp-neck spray bottle | Crimp pump with collar and cap, fixed by a crimping tool | Branded eau de parfum and gift sets | You need a crimper; the pump cannot be removed after crimping |
| Screw-neck spray bottle | Screw-on mist pump | Body sprays, refillable bottles, small brands | Thread size of pump and bottle must match exactly |
| Roll-on attar bottle | Plastic housing with glass or steel ball, plus cap | Attar and oil perfume, especially during Ramadan and Eid | Ball must roll freely without leaking |
| Dropper bottle | Glass pipette with rubber bulb | Concentrated oils, essential oils | Bulb material must resist the oil |
| Decorative attar bottle | Glass stick or stopper | Gift attar, shop display | Breakage in transit, stopper fit |
| Sample vial or tester | Small spray or stick | Free samples, tester cards | Very low cost per piece, high piece count |
Why do neck finish and pump size matter so much?
Most leaking perfume complaints come from mismatched components, not bad glass. A bottle’s neck is described by its finish: crimp necks are often referred to by sizes such as FEA 15, while screw necks use thread codes such as 18/415, where the first number is the diameter and the second describes the thread style. A pump designed for one finish will not seal properly on another, even if it looks close. The dip tube (the thin tube inside the bottle) also has to be cut to the right length for the bottle height; too long and it bends and sprays poorly, too short and the last part of the perfume cannot be used.
The practical rule: buy bottles and closures from the same supplier, or at least test them together before mass order. When we source perfume bottles, we ask the factory to ship assembled samples so you can fill them with your own oil and check for leaks over several days, including upside down in a warm room. Alcohol-based perfumes and heavy oil attars behave differently, so test with the actual product.
Where in China are perfume bottles made and sold?
Perfume bottle supply in China is spread across a few clusters, and knowing them helps you judge whether a seller is the real maker. Guangzhou, especially the Baiyun district, is a major centre for cosmetics and perfume packaging, with many suppliers of pumps, caps, roll-on housings and finished bottles. Jiangsu province, particularly around Xuzhou, is known for glass bottle production, where many factories melt and form the glass itself. Yiwu’s wholesale market is useful for small mixed orders of standard attar bottles and vials, though the stall you buy from is usually a trader rather than the factory.
For a first order of standard bottles in several designs, a Yiwu trader or a 1688 seller can be practical because they combine different items in one lot. Once you settle on one or two designs and want your own printing, buying from the factory gives better consistency and more control over glass quality. Read trading company vs factory before deciding, and ask whether bottles and closures come from the same production source.
For roll-on attar bottles, also choose the ball material. Glass balls feel smooth and look premium, while stainless steel balls are more durable and give a cooler feel on the skin. Either way, the plastic housing must hold the ball tightly enough to stop oil seeping but loosely enough to roll; test this with your own attar, because thick oils and thin oils behave differently.
Which decoration options are available?
Chinese bottle suppliers offer many finishes, and each one affects minimum order quantity and lead time:
- Screen printing: your logo printed directly on glass. Good for long runs of one design.
- Hot stamping: gold or silver foil logos for a premium look.
- Frosting: acid-etched or sprayed matte glass.
- Spray coating: coloured or gradient bottles; check that colour is even and does not scratch off.
- Custom caps: zamac (zinc alloy), wood, acrylic or plastic caps in your own shape.
- Custom moulds: a bottle shape unique to your brand. This needs a mould investment and a much larger order, so it suits established brands.
If you are starting out, a standard bottle with a printed logo and a quality cap gives a premium look without paying for a mould. Our guide to logo and brand printing methods compares these processes.
How should perfume bottles be packed and shipped?
Glass breaks, and breakage is the biggest cost risk in this category. Ask the supplier to pack bottles in cartons with cardboard partitions or moulded trays, so bottles do not touch each other, and to palletise and stretch-wrap cartons for sea freight. Pumps and caps are usually packed separately in bags and cartons. Ask in writing what breakage allowance the supplier accepts and whether they ship extra pieces to cover it. Empty bottles are normal general cargo and can travel by air or sea; filled perfume is a different case, because alcohol-based perfume is classed as a flammable liquid for air transport. Read air freight rules for perfume and aerosols before you plan to ship filled stock.
For most attar and perfume sellers, a consolidated sea shipment is the economical choice for bulk bottles, with a small air shipment only for urgent restocking. Plan orders well before Ramadan and Eid, when demand for attar bottles in Bangladesh rises and Chinese factories may also be busy.
How do I check quality before shipment?
- Glass defects: bubbles, stones, uneven wall thickness, rough or sharp necks.
- Dimensional check: neck diameter and height against the sample, using a caliper.
- Pump function: spray pattern, number of strokes to prime, and output per stroke on a sample of pumps.
- Leak test: filled and capped bottles stored inverted.
- Print quality: logo position, colour and adhesion (a tape test shows whether print peels).
- Packing check: partitions, carton strength and correct counts per carton.
We arrange checks like these as part of quality inspection before shipping.
Common mistakes when buying perfume bottles in bulk
- Buying bottles and pumps from different sellers without testing. Result: thousands of bottles that leak or cannot be crimped.
- No crimping tool. Crimp-neck bottles need a manual or pneumatic crimper; without it they are unusable.
- Choosing the cheapest roll-on housing. Poor housings let oil seep and stain gift boxes.
- Ignoring breakage. A low unit price means little if many bottles arrive broken.
- Ordering too late for Eid. Bottles arriving after the season sit in stock until next year.

FAQ
Where can I buy perfume bottles in bulk for Bangladesh?
Most wholesale perfume and attar bottles sold in Bangladesh are made in China. You can buy through a sourcing agent who checks samples and consolidates shipping, or import directly.
What is the difference between crimp and screw perfume bottles?
Crimp pumps are permanently fixed with a crimping tool and look premium; screw pumps twist on and allow refilling, but the thread must match exactly.
Can I print my brand logo on perfume bottles?
Yes, by screen printing, hot stamping or labels. Printing usually needs a higher order quantity than plain bottles.
Can filled perfume be shipped by air from China?
Alcohol-based perfume is treated as dangerous goods for air freight and needs proper handling; empty bottles ship as normal cargo.
