3ml Perfume Bottle

The most common material for 3ml bottles is glass, paired with sprayers made of plastic or aluminum—all of which are export-ready and transport-safe materials. For shipping and packaging, glass bottles and sprayers are packed separately: glass bottles are secured with shrink film, plastic nozzles are packed into self-poly bags, and aluminum nozzles are neatly arranged on corrugated cardboard. This ensures the best possible protection against glass breakage.

If you do not have a partner filling factory, you can manually fill your perfumes using our wide range of filling tools. Depending on the bottle neck type, the filling methods vary:

• Screw-Neck Bottles: The sprayers on these bottles are very easy to rotate and remove, allowing you to refill perfume using our tools. They are highly convenient and reusable spray bottles.
• Crimped Neck Bottles: These types of closures require specialized tools for pressing. Once pressed, the sprayer is very difficult to remove, making them single-use products.

Refillable Filling Tools: Our range includes: 3ml transfer pipettes, dispenser pumps, syringes, mini funnels, long-nose nozzles, plastic droppers, and more.

What are the other uses for 3ml perfume bottle filling tools?

Even if you don’t fill the perfume yourself, if you sell empty spray bottles for retail or as individual decanting products, you can include these filling tools as complimentary gift sets or bundle them for sale.

Whether or not a perfume bottle leaks depends fundamentally on the quality of the sprayer pump—specifically, whether internal structures, seals, and gaskets are prone to displacement due to air pressure changes, violent shaking, or impacts.

• Low-quality sprayers often misalign with the glass bottle neck or loosen easily.
• Prolonged storage of glass bottles can lead to the aging of the sprayer pump gaskets.
• Incorrect filling methods can result in excess perfume remaining on the outside of the bottle.
• Many low-priced glass bottles on the market have walls that are too thin and break under slight pressure.

Therefore, when testing 3ml perfume bottles, remember not to overfill them. Leave space for the dip tube, then let the perfume sit for a period to check for evaporation or backflow.

The 3ml glass perfume spray bottle has a very compact capacity, roughly the same size as a battery. It is primarily used for samples, trials, and travel-size portability, rather than as a full-sized daily bottle.

The approximate size range for Jascopack’s 3ml mini fragrance bottles is:

• Width: 9.3 – 22mm
• Height: 54.4 – 147mm

Common sprayers discharge 0.07–0.10 ml per spray. When using high-quality sprayers, 1ml provides approximately 10 to 15 sprays, which means a 3ml perfume spray bottle offers about 30 to 45 sprays. Depending on daily usage, this can last between 6 and 45 days.

Factors affecting the number of sprays for a 3ml bottle:

• Fine mist sprayers provide more sprays, while direct-stream sprayers provide fewer.
• Lower fragrance concentration and viscosity result in less volume used per spray.
• The dip tube length determines how much of the remaining perfume can be sprayed in the final few uses.
• Lighter pressing force leads to lower dosage.

Since the 3ml capacity is very small, the differences between choosing glass or plastic are relatively minor. However, we will still provide a comparison and analysis from a manufacturing perspective to help you decide.

Which is better for chemical stability in a 3ml bottle: glass or plastic?

When perfume is stored in a 3ml bottle, any evaporation is much more noticeable due to the small volume. Furthermore, most perfumes contain alcohol, which increases the likelihood of direct contact and chemical reactions with the container.

While plastic bottles are made from safe materials like PET or PETG, they can still be prone to swelling when in contact with alcohol-based fragrances. In contrast, the inert nature of glass keeps the scent more stable and ensures the quality of the perfume remains unaffected.

From the perspective of chemical stability: Glass > Plastic.

Which is better for airtightness in a 3ml bottle: glass or plastic?

Glass bottles can be paired with sprayers, droppers, and pump heads to create a firm connection that is resistant to leaks.

Some plastics, such as PCTG, can mimic glass and achieve a similarly secure seal. However, soft plastics like PP are easily compressed and deformed; if transported or stored improperly, they are highly prone to leakage.

From the perspective of airtightness: Glass = PCTG Plastic > PP Plastic.

Which is better for brand perception in a 3ml bottle: glass or plastic?

Glass offers a superior texture and a slightly heavier “hand-feel” compared to plastic, making it feel more high-end. However, because a 3ml glass bottle is so small and lacks protection, it is fragile and best suited for short trips or in-store fragrance testing. In contrast, plastic is lightweight and shatterproof, making it ideal for everyday carry and long-distance shipping in subscription sets.

From a brand perspective: Glass > Plastic.

From a durability perspective: Plastic > Glass.

Which is more cost-effective for a 3ml bottle: glass or plastic?

The manufacturing of glass requires high-temperature molding, strict wall thickness standards, and high furnace energy consumption. In contrast, plastic molding is extremely fast with low wastage, making the unit price of glass higher than plastic.

Regarding shipping and packaging costs, a 3ml glass bottle is very small and its walls are relatively thin, often requiring foam inserts for protection. Plastic requires almost no extra protection beyond preventing minor surface scratches. Considering both packaging materials and weight, the shipping cost for glass is higher than for plastic.

From a low-cost perspective: Plastic > Glass.
