The XF-2 is the 50 ml member of our rectangular flacon family, drawn from stock tooling and held in the in-stock export program. It is the volume workhorse of the range: tall enough to carry a full-height decoration panel, light enough at 127 g to keep shipping economics sane, and fitted with an 18 mm screw neck that makes it one of the easiest bottles in the catalogue to pair with an aftermarket pump. For brands positioning a signature eau de parfum at retail, 50 ml is the size most customers actually buy — and this page gives you the real specification to price it against.
Everything in the tables below comes from the current stock sheet: measured bottle weight, actual packing counts and carton dimensions from the warehouse program. Where a figure is not held on the stock program it is marked to confirm on quotation, and the drawing pack is issued with pricing.

The 127 g bottle weight places the XF-2 in the mid-weight class for a 50 ml rectangular flacon. That is deliberate: heavy enough that the base weight reads as quality in the hand, light enough that 120 units pack into a carton under 16 kg gross, which keeps manual handling at the filling line within normal limits.
Bottle Design and Shape
The XF-2 shares the design language of the 30 ml and 100 ml bottles in the same family: a slim rectangle with radiused edges, flat shoulder, and a cylindrical cap that covers the full pump skirt. In the stock photo the 50 ml configuration carries a black gloss cap on the 18 mm screw neck; gold and silver electroplated caps are available from the accessory program, so the same body supports three or four looks without new tooling.
At 166 mm assembled height, the 50 ml member of the family is the most balanced proportion of the three — tall enough to hold shelf presence next to premium 100 ml lines, compact enough for a dressing table. The flat panels give a clean canvas for screen print or foil, and the rectangular footprint packs efficiently in both cartons and gift-set trays.
Who this shape suits: signature eau de parfum lines, boutique and niche brands selling a single hero size, hotel and spa retail, and refill programs — the screw neck is a genuine advantage for refillable positioning, which our article on refillable perfume bottle systems covers in depth.
Carton Data and Container Loading
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Carton volume | ≈ 0.0196 CBM |
| Cartons per 20 GP (floor loaded, ~85% utilisation) | ≈ 1,200 cartons ≈ 144,000 pcs |
| Cartons per 40 HQ (floor loaded, ~85% utilisation) | ≈ 2,800 cartons ≈ 336,000 pcs |
| Gross weight per 40 HQ load | ≈ 44.8 t — volume-limited |
Ordering quantities should fall in multiples of 120 per SKU. If you are building a three-look range (clear, frosted, full-spray) on the same body, note that each look is a separate decoration batch, and the packing counts stay identical across looks — only the decoration changes. For freight planning beyond the container, our carton and pallet specification guide shows the pallet pattern used on this carton size.
Decoration and Customization Options
As a stock-shape body, all differentiation happens in decoration. The options routinely run on this rectangle:
- Spray coating — solid, transparent or gradient colour; matte or gloss topcoat; Pantone matched.
- Electroplating / vacuum metallization — on the cap from stock, or on the glass body for a full-mirror finish.
- Frosted finish — full-body acid etch or panel sandblast; see our frosted glass guide for the matte positioning story.
- silk screen printing — one to three colours on the flat panel; UV or organic inks by positioning.
- Hot stamping / foil — gold or silver foil on shoulder or panel.
- Two-tone and mask-spray effects — the flat shoulder takes a masked shoulder band cleanly.
The decoration surface on this body is unusually forgiving: the flat panels print at high register accuracy, and the radiused corners take spray without thin-edge coverage loss — two things that round bodies do poorly. Our decoration techniques overview compares all of these processes.
Matching Caps, Pumps and Collars
The 18 mm screw neck opens up the widest pump choice in the catalogue. From the accessory stock program we supply screw fine-mist sprayers with electroplated aluminium collars in gold, silver and black, outer caps in matching or contrasting finishes, and collar rings that sit between the pump and the cap for a stepped look. Screw pumps are also the standard interface for refillable and travel-spray systems, so the XF-2 can be paired with aftermarket pumps if your market already stocks one — send us the pump drawing and we will verify the finish dimensions before you commit. Our crimp vs screw pump comparison sets out when a screw finish is the better commercial choice.
Sampling and Ordering
Stock samples in clear glass ship immediately. A decorated sample with your colour, print and chosen cap follows in roughly 7–15 days. After the golden sample is signed, glass production on the stock mold runs 15–25 days, plus decoration and assembly. Quotations are issued FOB or delivered, using the carton data above as the freight basis.
Request a quote for the XF-2 with quantity, decoration and destination, and we will return unit pricing, matched pump and cap costs, and a freight estimate on the real packing numbers.
FAQ
What is the MOQ for the XF-2 50 ml bottle?
No tooling MOQ applies — the mold is stock. Trial quantities for sampling can be a single carton of 120 units. Production quantities are set by the decoration batch economics, typically a few thousand pieces for sprayed or printed orders. Confirm with your target quantity.
Why choose the screw neck version over a crimp finish?
A screw neck lets the customer unscrew the pump — the basis of refillable positioning and of travel-spray systems — and gives you a far wider choice of aftermarket pumps. The trade-off is that a screw pump is theoretically removable, so tamper evidence is weaker than a crimp. For retail juice in markets where refillability sells, the screw neck is usually the right call.
Is the XF-2 available in coloured glass?
The stock program runs clear flint glass. Coloured versions (amber, black, gradient spray) are produced as decoration on the same body rather than as coloured batch glass — a full-spray or gradient coating achieves the coloured look without a new mold. Our colored glass and fragrance stability article covers when coloured batch glass is genuinely needed.
How does the XF-2 compare with the 30 ml and 100 ml in the family?
Same silhouette and design language in three sizes, which lets you run a consistent range: 30 ml for travel retail, 50 ml as the signature size, 100 ml as the value size. Neck finishes differ by size — the 50 ml and 100 ml take the 18 mm screw in this family — so pump and cap choices are confirmed per size on the quotation.
What carton do the bottles ship in, and can I change the pack-out?
Standard pack-out is 120 units in a 39 × 32.5 × 15.5 cm export carton with a partition grid. Custom pack-outs (foam inserts, retail-ready trays) are quoted separately; the wholesale price on this page assumes the standard grid pack.
