## 1. Executive Summary & Core Engineering Scope
A 30 ml stock glass dropper bottle from China starts at about 500 pieces undecorated, 2,000 printed, 2,000–5,000 sprayed or frosted, and 30,000+ for your own glass shape. The four routes with tooling, lead time and what sets each floor.

The 30 ml dropper is the serum standard, and it is the format where the low-MOQ story is actually true — up to a point. A stock bottle and a stock dropper start in the hundreds; a sprayed colour or an anodised collar pushes the number into the low thousands; your own glass shape is a different product with a 30,000-piece furnace minimum. Here is where each floor comes from.

A 30 ml stock glass dropper bottle from China starts at about 500 pieces undecorated via partner factories already tooled for small runs (bottle ~500, dropper assembly ~500 in stock colours), about 2,000 with a screen-printed logo , and 2,000–5,000 per shape with a sprayed colour, frosting or an anodised collar . A glass bottle in your own shape is made-to-order glass with an industry-floor MOQ of 30,000 to 100,000–200,000 pieces , even though the mould itself is only about RMB 4,000 (≈ USD 555) per cavity. Lead time: 7–10 days from stock, 30–60 days if a glass run is needed, +5–7 days for print, 30–40 days for spray.

A 30 ml dropper bottle is two components: a narrow-neck glass bottle on an 18/400 or 20/400 finish, and a dropper assembly of cap, collar, glass pipette and bulb. Both exist as stock items on public moulds held by partner factories, in high-flint clear, amber and frosted, with collars in black, white, gold and silver. That is why the undecorated floor sits at about 500 pieces per component, against the 5,000–10,000 per item that most suppliers publish for made-to-order work on the MOQ index .

Everything above 500 is a decision to change the appearance. Each decoration step is a machine set-up that has to happen for your order alone, and the size of that set-up is the floor. Printing is cheap and colour is expensive: that one sentence explains the whole table below.

Read the table per component. A quote of "MOQ 1,000" on a dropper bottle may mean 1,000 bottles from a glass plant and 3,000 collars from a closure plant, and the higher figure governs the assembled set. Ask which minimum applies to the bottle, the collar, the pipette and the bulb, and whether they ship assembled.
