The XY-5 is the 100 ml anchor of the ball-cap family: the same squat, wide-diameter cylinder as the XY-4, scaled to a full 100 ml fill at 200 g. The family photograph shows the pair together — 100 ml at 90 mm tall and 66 mm in diameter beside the 50 ml — and the proportions are the point: at this diameter, a 100 ml bottle is barely taller than many 50 ml rectangles on the market, which makes it look like nothing else on a shelf of vertical flacons. This is the format for a flagship EDP that wants mass and width rather than height.
This page gives the measured stock specification, the container loading arithmetic, and the decoration and closure options for the large body.

Two fields are flagged for confirmation: the neck finish — crimp or screw, with the stocked variant confirmed at quotation — and the formal measurements, which ship with the drawing pack. Everything else is measured stock data. The dual-finish option is strategic on a 100 ml body and is addressed below.
Shape: The Wide Flagship
The XY-5’s design argument is that width is presence. At 66 mm across and 90 mm tall, the body presents a broad, low mass under the glossy black sphere of the cap — a silhouette that reads as sculpture on a fixture built for vertical bottles. The shelf logic is covered in our height and shelf presence article, and this is its counter-strategy: where a tall bottle wins vertical space, the XY-5 wins frontage, projecting further from the shelf edge than any slim 100 ml body.
The 200 g weight completes the impression. Lifted, the bottle delivers a mass-to-volume ratio that no lightweight 100 ml cylinder matches; the perception mechanics are the same as those in our heavy-base bottle article, here driven by genuine glass mass plus the diameter to distribute it. The thick base is visible through the side wall as a deep band of clear glass that catches light across the full 66 mm width.
Suits: flagship EDP in feminine and unisex positioning, niche and artisanal lines where the bottle is the object, oud and amber formats that suit weight and warmth, and 50/100 ml ranges built on the ball-cap family. Design context is in our women’s perfume bottle design patterns; the closure identity is profiled in the cap types buyer’s guide.
Container Loading: Weight-Limited in the 40 HQ
The carton holds 70 units at 15.0 kg gross in a 48.5 × 35 × 15 cm box — 0.0255 CBM. At 200 g of glass per bottle, the container decision is made by payload, not cube:
| Metric | 20 GP | 40 HQ |
|---|---|---|
| Carton volume | 0.0255 CBM | 0.0255 CBM |
| Cartons by cube (28 / 68 CBM usable) | 1,099 | 2,670 |
| Cartons by payload (25 / 26 t) | 1,666 | 1,733 |
| Practical cartons | 1,099 | 1,733 |
| Bottles | 76,930 pcs | 121,310 pcs |
| Gross weight | 16.5 t | 26.0 t |
The 40 HQ is weight-limited at 1,733 cartons — 121,310 bottles at 26.0 tonnes, with roughly 940 cartons of cube unused. That residual space is the mixed-load argument: XY-4 50 ml cartons, ball caps and retail outers ride in the gap at almost no incremental freight, which is one more reason the two family sizes are quoted together. The 20 GP is cube-limited at 1,099 cartons sailing at 16.5 t. Pallet patterns for the footprint are set out in our carton and pallet guide.
Decoration on the Broad Wall
The 66 mm diameter gives decoration room the vertical flacons lack:
- Spray coating — solid colour covers the broad wall evenly, and the family’s black cap invites monochrome systems — a black-coated body under the black sphere is the strongest look in the range, per our custom colour process. Two-tone with a clear base band is covered in two-tone spray coating.
- Frosting — full acid etch turns the squat cylinder into a matte, tactile object; the finish is profiled in our frosted bottle guide.
- Vacuum metallization — the wide body under full plating produces broad, even highlights; premium tier only, per the plating process article.
- silk screen printing — generous width for wordmarks; one to two colours, artwork curved to the radius. Clearance rules in our screen printing guide.
- Hot stamping — foil accents at the collar line or on the base; comparison in hot stamping versus cold foil.
The black ball cap photographed is a stock accessory in glossy ABS or electroplated finish on a matching metallic collar; white and metallic options are available. Material trade-offs are in zamac versus Surlyn versus ABS, and matte system builds in our matte black article.
Closures and Refill Strategy
The finish is listed as crimp or screw, confirmed at quotation, and on a 100 ml flagship the choice is strategic:
- Crimp — the sealed retail standard; the pump cannot be removed without destroying the closure.
- Screw — opens and reseals, the prerequisite for a refill programme. At 100 ml flagship scale, refill positioning pairs naturally with the object-like bottle: keep the heavy glass, replace the juice. The systems and economics are covered in our refillable bottle article.
Either variant takes 15 mm fine-mist pumps from stock; pump mechanics in our crimp versus screw guide, output differences by viscosity in the output comparison.
Compare Within the 100 ml Slot
Other 100 ml stock bodies: XY-3 100 ml for a taller cylinder, WX-3 100 ml for a smooth barrel, XF-19 100 ml for a rounded rectangle, XF-15 100 ml for a different shoulder, and XY-12 100 ml for another rounded family option. The 50 ml half of this family is the XY-4, and the size economics of running both are in the size guide.
MOQ, Samples and Lead Time
No tooling charge — existing stock mould. Clear samples ship from stock; decorated samples typically 7–15 days from artwork approval, frosting adding an etch cycle. Production runs 15–25 days after golden-sample sign-off plus decoration. MOQ is driven by the decoration line, not the glass: state quantity and finish and we confirm the economic threshold, as explained in the low MOQ note and pricing breakdown.
Request a quote for the XY-5 with quantity, decoration, crimp or screw finish, and destination port. We will return unit price, matched ball-cap and pump pricing, and freight calculated on the carton data on this page.
FAQ
What is the MOQ for the XY-5 100 ml bottle?
No tooling MOQ applies because the mould is in stock. Clear bottles can be ordered in trial cartons; decorated orders start where the spray or print run is economic. Send your quantity and finish for the exact threshold.
Is the XY-5 the same design as the XY-4 50 ml?
Yes — the same squat cylinder, thick base and spherical cap language scaled to 100 ml at 200 g. Brands commonly quote the pair together for a two-size range on one silhouette.
Is the neck crimp or screw?
Both are listed, with the stocked variant confirmed at quotation. Choose screw if a refill programme is planned; crimp for standard sealed retail.
How many XY-5 bottles fit in a 40 HQ?
About 1,733 cartons, or 121,310 pieces, weight-limited at 26 tonnes — the 200 g body fills the payload before the cube. A 20 GP carries around 1,099 cartons (76,930 pieces).
Is the black ball cap included in the price?
No — the overcap and collar are stock accessories quoted separately. Glossy black is the photographed option, with white and metallic ball finishes available on the same 15 mm pump.
