The wx-38 is a square-shoulder 30 ml flacon supplied with a 15 mm crimp neck — the one-way seal format that filling plants and licensing agreements prefer. It shares the wide, full-presence geometry of the XF-4, but the crimp finish changes the commercial story: the pump is permanently fixed after filling, the pack is tamper-evident by construction, and the bottle cannot be casually refilled. For brands selling through retail channels, beauty groups filling on automated lines, and any program with licensed juice, the crimp neck is not a detail — it is the specification.

The 87 g weight on a 30 ml fill gives the same full-priced in-hand feel as its screw-neck sibling, and the packing efficiency is better than the square shoulder suggests: 160 units in a carton of 15 kg gross keeps both filling-line handling and freight within comfortable limits.
Bottle Design and Shape
The wx-38 carries the wide rectangular body and crisp shoulder line of the square-shoulder family: straight walls, a flat 90-degree shoulder, a broad front panel and a stable square base. In the stock photo the configuration is minimalist — silver fine-mist sprayer with exposed actuator — and the same body pairs with low cylindrical or tall caps from the accessory program for a more classic silhouette.
The design brief this shape answers is specific: a 30 ml bottle that does not photograph or feel like a miniature. On a shelf of slim travel sprays, the wx-38’s width makes it read as a full fragrance; in the hand, the 87 g base weight completes the impression. The broad flat panel is a genuine label substitute — many customers run no label at all, just a two-colour screen print on the face and a foil mark on the shoulder.
Who this shape suits: retail-channel fragrance lines that need tamper-evident crimp packaging, licensed and designer juice programs filled on automated lines, discovery sets with a premium 30 ml tier, and apothecary-positioned ranges that want weight and width in a small format. Our square vs round shoulder guide covers the geometry trade-offs in detail.
Carton Data and Container Loading
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Carton volume | ≈ 0.0176 CBM |
| Cartons per 20 GP (floor loaded, ~85% utilisation) | ≈ 1,350 cartons ≈ 216,000 pcs |
| Cartons per 40 HQ (floor loaded, ~85% utilisation) | ≈ 3,130 cartons ≈ 500,000 pcs |
| Gross weight per 40 HQ load | ≈ 47.0 t — volume-limited |
Order in multiples of 160 per SKU. The wx-38 has the best carton efficiency of the square-shoulder 30 ml group — 0.0176 CBM per carton — which is worth 3–5% on landed cost at container scale. For pallet patterns on this carton size, see our carton and pallet specification guide.
Decoration and Customization Options
- Spray coating — solid, transparent or gradient colour; matte or gloss topcoat; Pantone matched.
- Electroplating / vacuum metallization — stocked cap finishes in gold, silver and black; body metallization for mirror effects.
- Frosted finish — full-body or panel etch; softens the shoulder line for a contemporary matte read.
- silk screen printing — one to three colours on the flat panel; the wide face holds multi-colour register well.
- Hot stamping / foil — gold or silver blocks, including full-width monogram positions.
- Laser engraving — for serialisation, batch marking or small-type branding.
All of these run on the stock mold — no tooling cost on any option. Our decoration techniques guide compares the processes, and our custom colour guide covers colour matching.
Matching Caps, Pumps and Collars
The 15 mm crimp neck takes one-way crimp pumps, which are fixed permanently after filling and give tamper evidence by construction. The accessory stock program supplies crimp fine-mist sprayers with electroplated collars in gold, silver and black, plus outer caps — exposed-actuator minimalist or closed cylindrical silhouettes, both stocked. On a crimp format, the pump and collar must be matched to the finish crimp dimensions before sampling; we issue the matched accessory sheet with your quotation and verify the assembled height and crimp spec together. Our crimp vs screw pump comparison explains the sealing mechanics, and the spray pump output guide covers dosing differences across the pump range.
Sampling and Ordering
Clear stock samples ship immediately; decorated samples in 7–15 days. After golden-sample approval, glass production on the stock mold runs 15–25 days plus decoration and assembly. Crimp filling trials can be supported with matched pumps so your filler can validate crimp depth before the production order. Quotations are issued FOB or delivered on the carton data above.

FAQ
What is the MOQ for the wx-38 30 ml bottle?
The mold is stock, so there is no tooling MOQ — sampling can start from a single carton of 160 units in clear glass. Production minimums are set by decoration batching, typically a few thousand pieces for sprayed or printed orders. Confirm the current level with your target quantity.
Why would I choose the wx-38 crimp neck over the screw-neck XF-4?
Crimp is about channel and liability, not aesthetics. A crimped pump is tamper-evident, cannot be casually refilled, and is the standard on automated filling lines and licensed juice programs. A screw neck supports refillable positioning and aftermarket pump flexibility. If you sell through retail channels or fill on a contract line, crimp is usually the safer specification.
Can I trial the wx-38 on my filling line before committing?
Yes. Order stock samples with matched crimp pumps and run a crimp-depth validation on your line before the production order. The finish crimp dimensions are issued with the drawing pack, and we confirm the pump specification together with the bottle so the two are validated as one system.
Does the 87 g weight include the pump and cap?
No — 87 g is the empty bottle weight from the current stock sheet. Filled weight adds roughly 30 g of juice plus the pump and cap assembly, which is the figure your filler and freight forwarder need.
What does a full 40 HQ container hold in wx-38?
Approximately 3,130 cartons floor loaded at 85% utilisation — around 500,000 bottles at 47 tonnes gross, volume-limited and within container payload. At 0.0176 CBM per carton this is the most container-efficient square-shoulder 30 ml in the catalogue.
