Frequently Asked Questions
Are your oil and vinegar bottles food-safe and sustainable?
Yes. We manufacture custom OEM oil and vinegar bottles with food safety, longevity, and functionality as our baseline. Our production aligns with recognised food-grade standards and certifications for kitchenware across Europe, the USA, and Australasia. Using durable glass and food-grade hardware materials means our products are built to last and built to replace single-use plastic alternatives in your customers’ kitchens.
What materials are used in oil and vinegar bottle manufacturing?
There are a few key decisions to work through, and we can guide you based on your required product positioning and target market:
• Glass grade: We work with borosilicate glass and soda-lime glass, across both machine-made and hand-blown production. Borosilicate is thermally resistant, more durable, and well suited to premium kitchenware lines, with a minimum order quantity of 1,000 units. Soda-lime glass is a more cost-effective option for wider retail ranges, with a minimum order quantity of 50,000 units. Both types of glass are food-safe and fully recyclable.
• Spout and pour hardware: Pouring components can be produced in various finishes of stainless steel or food-grade
silicone. Stainless steel collars and pourers suit a modern, premium aesthetic and are corrosion-resistant for long-term use. Silicone-sealed options provide a reliable, drip-free pour and are flexible for different bottle neck sizes.
• Food-grade certifications: Our products are consistently tested to LFGB and FDA standards. Our facilities hold ISO
9001, BSCI, WCA, and FSC® certifications.
Share your 3D product design with us, and we’ll recommend the right combination for your tableware range.
What product types and variants are available?
We can manufacture a broad range of oil and vinegar bottle design formats, including:
• Olive oil bottles: Designed for clear pouring and kitchen counter display, with options for long-neck or broad-body silhouettes.
• Vinegar dispensers: Typically, narrower-neck formats suited to controlled pouring, ideal for dressings and cooking use.
• Cruet sets (oil and vinegar sets): Matched pairs or multi-piece sets in coordinated designs, popular for retail gifting and hospitality table settings.
• Bottles with pour spouts: Available with integrated drip-free stainless steel or silicone pourers at the bottle neck, a practical detail which customers notice and appreciate.
If you have a specific style in mind, we can work from your 3D design, references, and concepts.
Can you produce custom oil and vinegar bottles?
Absolutely – this is what we do! We’re not a wholesaler of pre-made stock or off-the-shelf products. We also don’t take a standard product and put your label on it. As a custom OEM and ODM manufacturer, we develop oil and vinegar bottles to your unique design’s specifications, incorporating your branding, finishes, and packaging requirements. Whether you need a custom olive oil bottle or an innovative glass vinegar bottle range, we can develop it to sit naturally within your existing product line.
Do you offer wholesale and OEM orders?
We work with both emerging start-up brands and large-scale retailers across a range of order volumes, from boutique or sample runs through to mass retail production. We do not source wholesale oil and vinegar bottles from elsewhere. We support brands, industrial designers, and product developers who are planning a custom OEM manufacturing run. Get in touch and we can discuss what works best for your project and timeline.
Can you develop matching kitchenware products?
If you’re building a wider tableware collection, we can develop complementary kitchenware such as glass jars, pepper and salt mills, drinking bottles, and much more to ensure the full range feels considered and cohesive rather than provided by different sources.
Do you work with brands outside Australia?
Yes, although we have an office in Melbourne, our factories are in China and Taiwan, and we partner with both local and international brands (including numerous well-known European, American, and Japanese brands), supporting eco-friendly OEM manufacturing projects across a broad range of order volumes.
What information do you require to provide me with a quote?
To get started, we require a product design concept (3D files are ideal, although reference images can work in some scenarios), your preferred materials, target audience, and an estimated order volume. If you’re at an earlier stage and not yet sure on the details, reach out anyway! We’re used to working with projects at all stages of development.

They ask the right questions throughout the whole process, working with us to create solutions that were both better, cheaper, and well aligned with our brand. There was no compromise in quality at any point. I would highly recommend A Life to any business looking for an honest manufacturer with open communication and high-quality products.”
