The XF-3 is the 100 ml flagship of our rectangular flacon family: 195 mm of clear glass with a full-height panel, a 207 g base weight that reads as premium the moment it is lifted, and a neck finish configurable as 15 mm crimp or screw on quotation. In a fragrance range, the 100 ml size carries the value story — lowest cost per millilitre for the customer, highest unit value per carton for you — and it is the size where bottle weight and shelf proportion do the most commercial work.
This page publishes the actual stock-sheet specification rather than nominal catalogue figures: measured bottle weight, packing counts, carton dimensions and gross weights from the current in-stock program. Anything not held on the stock sheet is marked to confirm on quotation and is issued in the drawing pack with your price.

The 207 g weight is the headline spec. A 100 ml flacon under 180 g starts to feel hollow on a premium shelf; above 230 g it starts to dominate your freight bill. At 207 g the XF-3 sits in the band where the bottle feels substantial without making the container economics unreasonable — and because 70 units still pack into a carton under 16 kg gross, manual handling at the filling line stays within normal limits.
Bottle Design and Shape
The XF-3 carries the same rectangular design language as its 30 ml and 50 ml siblings, scaled up: slim rectangle, radiused vertical edges, flat shoulder, tall cylindrical cap in electroplated aluminium — silver in the stock photo, with gold and black available from the accessory program. At 195 mm assembled height it is a genuinely tall flacon, and the proportion does the visual work that a 100 ml bottle needs to do: it looks like the largest, most valuable object in the range, not like a stretched 50 ml.
The full-height flat panel is the largest decoration canvas in this family, which matters more at 100 ml than at smaller sizes — at this scale customers read the branding from a metre away, so print position and foil quality are checked against the golden sample, not the artwork file. Our guide to bottle height and shelf presence explains how the 100 ml slot is usually merchandised.
Who this shape suits: the value size in a three-tier range, niche fragrance houses selling a single large format, room-spray crossover lines, and gift sets where the 100 ml is the centre piece.
Carton Data and Container Loading
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Carton volume | ≈ 0.0193 CBM |
| Cartons per 20 GP (floor loaded, ~85% utilisation) | ≈ 1,230 cartons ≈ 86,000 pcs |
| Cartons per 40 HQ (floor loaded, ~85% utilisation) | ≈ 2,850 cartons ≈ 199,500 pcs |
| Gross weight per 40 HQ load | ≈ 44.2 t — volume-limited |
Note how the arithmetic works at 100 ml: the same 0.019 CBM carton carries 70 bottles instead of 168, so glass weight per carton stays near 15 kg even though each bottle is nearly 2.5× heavier than the 30 ml. That is what keeps 100 ml glass shippable at wholesale rates. Order quantities should fall in multiples of 70. For the pallet pattern used on this carton, see our carton and pallet specification guide.
Decoration and Customization Options
- Spray coating — solid, transparent or gradient colour, matte or gloss; Pantone matched per shade.
- Electroplating / vacuum metallization — stock caps in gold, silver and black; body metallization for mirror effects.
- Frosted finish — full-body or panel etch; the matte version of this body is a strong seller in men’s positioning (see our men’s bottle design language article).
- silk screen printing — up to three colours on the full-height panel.
- Hot stamping / foil — gold or silver block on shoulder or panel.
- Two-tone spray and masked shoulder bands — run routinely on the flat shoulder.
Because this is a stock mold, none of these options carries tooling cost — your quotation varies only with decoration process and quantity. The full comparison of processes is in our decoration techniques guide.
Matching Caps, Pumps and Collars
The neck is quoted as 15 mm crimp or screw on this model, and the exact finish on current stock is confirmed with the quotation. The accessory program supplies matched fine-mist sprayers and collars in electroplated aluminium finishes, plus outer caps — on this size the tall cylindrical cap is the visually dominant component, so cap finish choice (mirror silver, brushed gold, matte black) changes the price-point read of the finished bottle more than any glass decoration. Pump output and actuator style vary by accessory number and are confirmed on the accessory sheet issued with your quote. Our spray pump output guide explains how dosing differs across the pump range.
Sampling and Ordering
Clear stock samples ship immediately; a decorated sample with your colour and print follows in 7–15 days. After golden-sample sign-off, glass production on the stock mold runs 15–25 days plus decoration. Quotes are issued FOB or delivered on the carton data above.

FAQ
What is the MOQ for the XF-3 100 ml bottle?
The mold is stock, so there is no tooling MOQ — sampling can start from a single carton of 70 units. 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.
Which neck finish ships on current stock — 15 mm crimp or screw?
The stock sheet lists both as available on this model, with the current variant confirmed on quotation. Because the cap and pump must match the finish, we confirm finish, pump and cap as one matched set before sampling — this is the single most common mismatch point on 100 ml bottles, so it is locked at quotation stage.
Is 207 g heavy for a 100 ml perfume bottle?
It is mid-weight. Budget 100 ml flacons run 150–180 g and feel light for the price tier; heavyweight statement bottles run 250 g and up, with freight to match. At 207 g the XF-3 gives a premium in-hand feel while staying under 16 kg gross per carton — the practical limit for one-person handling at filling lines.
Can I run a three-size range on this family with one cap style?
Yes, and it is the usual approach: the 30 ml, 50 ml and 100 ml bodies share the design language, and electroplated caps in a common finish tie the range together. Cap diameters and heights scale with each size, so the assembled look is confirmed per size on the accessory sheet rather than assumed from the artwork.
What does a full 40 HQ container of XF-3 hold?
Approximately 2,850 cartons floor loaded at 85% utilisation — about 199,500 bottles at 44 tonnes gross. The load is volume-limited, well within container payload, so no weight-related surcharges apply. Use the 0.0193 CBM per-carton figure for exact forwarder calculations.
