The XY-9 is the 100 ml half of the XY-8 family: the same rounded-shoulder cylinder, the same thick stepped base, scaled to a full 100 ml fill at 205 g. Where the 50 ml reads as everyday, the 100 ml reads as flagship — the size a brand uses for its hero EDP, its gift-set anchor, and its duty-free presence. Because the profile is shared, the two sizes sit on a shelf as one range rather than two decisions, which is exactly why this mould family is one of our most-quoted pairs.
The stock photograph shows the family together: 100 ml at 122 mm tall and 54 mm in diameter beside the 50 ml, so the proportions are visible rather than described. This page gives the measured specification for the 100 ml, the container loading arithmetic on the real carton, and the decoration paths that suit the larger body.

Two fields are flagged for confirmation: the neck finish — crimp or screw, with the variant held in stock confirmed at quotation — and the formal height and diameter, which are issued with the drawing pack. Everything else is measured stock data. The choice between the two finishes is strategic on a 100 ml bottle and is covered below; the mechanics are compared in our crimp versus screw guide.
Shape: The Flagship Half of the Pair
Scaled up from the 50 ml, the XY-9 keeps the continuous shoulder curve but gains presence in three places. The 54 mm diameter gives the label or print panel real width. The stepped base thickens proportionally, so the 205 g body keeps the low, stable stance of its smaller sibling. And at 122 mm tall the bottle enters the proportion band that duty-free and gift-set fixtures are dimensioned around — the shelf-height logic is quantified in our bottle height and shelf presence article.
The cylindrical matte cap photographed continues the curve without a collar, matching the 50 ml closure language. If you plan a zamac or moulded cap with a square edge instead, sample it on the body first — squared caps on soft shoulders are the most common closure mismatch we see. Material options are compared in zamac versus Surlyn versus ABS.
Suits: flagship EDP, 50/100 ml ranges on one silhouette, oud and amber lines that want the apothecary roundness at a gift scale, and private-label programmes where the same design must stretch across two sizes. For the sizing economics of running both, see our 30/50/100 ml size guide.
Container Loading: Weight-Limited in Both Sizes
The carton is a compact 40 × 29 × 21.5 cm — 0.0249 CBM — holding 70 units at 15.0 kg gross. At 205 g of glass per bottle, the container fills by weight before it fills by cube:
| Metric | 20 GP | 40 HQ |
|---|---|---|
| Carton volume | 0.0249 CBM | 0.0249 CBM |
| Cartons by cube (28 / 68 CBM usable) | 1,122 | 2,726 |
| Cartons by payload (25 / 26 t) | 1,666 | 1,733 |
| Practical cartons | 1,122 | 1,733 |
| Bottles | 78,540 pcs | 121,310 pcs |
| Gross weight | 16.8 t | 26.0 t |
The 40 HQ is decisively weight-limited: 1,733 cartons at 26.0 tonnes, with roughly 1,000 cartons of cube unused. That gap is the mixed-load opportunity — XY-8 50 ml cartons, closures and retail outers ride in the residual space at near-zero incremental freight, which is one more reason the two sizes ship well together. The 20 GP is also weight-limited and sails lightly at 16.8 t. Pallet patterns for the footprint are in our carton and pallet guide.
Decoration on the Larger Body
More glass surface means more decoration canvas, and the cylinder handles the full stack:
- Spray coating — solid colour and gradients both wrap cleanly; two-tone with a clear foot ring is the signature treatment on this family. Process options in two-tone spray coating and custom colour matching.
- Frosted finish — full acid etch gives the satin, apothecary character the shape leans into; see our frosting guide.
- Vacuum metallization — the wide mid-body picks up strong vertical highlights under full plating; premium tier only, per our plating process article.
- silk screen printing — one to two colours with generous width; artwork must be curved to the 54 mm radius. The clearance rules are in our screen printing guide.
- Hot stamping and laser — foil on the shoulder dome for accents; laser for base marks. Comparison in hot stamping versus cold foil.
Closures and Refill Strategy
The dual-finish option matters most at 100 ml, where the use case splits:
- Crimp — the sealed retail standard; the pump cannot be removed without destroying the closure. Choose this for straightforward EDP retail.
- Screw — opens and reseals, which is the prerequisite for a refill programme or refill-pouch strategy. Refill economics are covered in our refillable bottle systems article.
Matching accessories ship from the same stock: 15 mm fine-mist pumps in gold, silver, black and the photographed gunmetal electroplated aluminium, plus collars and cylindrical overcaps. Pump output differences by viscosity are quantified in our spray pump output guide.
Compare Within the 100 ml Slot
Other 100 ml stock bodies: XY-3 100 ml for a wider footprint, WX-3 100 ml for a smoother barrel, XF-19 100 ml for a tall rounded rectangle, and XY-12 100 ml for another take on the rounded family. If the range needs both sizes, the XY-8 50 ml page has the lighter half of the pair, and the size guide covers the pricing relationship across volumes.
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.

FAQ
What is the MOQ for the XY-9 100 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-9 the same design as the XY-8 50 ml?
Yes — same rounded-shoulder profile, same stepped base and same closure language, scaled from 50 ml to 100 ml. Most brands quote the pair together to launch a two-size range on one silhouette.
Is the neck crimp or screw?
Both variants are listed for this model, with the one held in stock confirmed at quotation. Choose screw if you plan refills; crimp for standard retail sealing.
How many XY-9 bottles fit in a 40 HQ?
About 1,733 cartons, or 121,310 pieces, weight-limited at 26 tonnes — the heavy 205 g body fills the payload before the cube. A 20 GP carries around 1,122 cartons (78,540 pieces).
Is the matte cap in the photo included?
No — pump and overcap are stock accessories quoted separately. Any 15 mm pump in the accessory range fits either neck variant.
