While reviewing RFQs on Alibaba, a high-volume inquiry for 50,000 units of a 750ml soda water glass bottle with a stainless steel cap immediately captured our attention. After a preliminary cost assessment, we submitted a prompt quotation. The client Mark responded days later, sharing images of their current mineral water glass bottle and specifying its use for carbonated water—a critical detail demanding enhanced pressure resistance.
Upon comparison, we identified a key discrepancy: our existing sparkling water bottle weighed 300g, while the client’s sample was 400g, indicating a structural difference directly related to pressure tolerance. Recognizing that our standard drinking water glass bottle might not meet their technical requirement, we proposed developing a new 400g version. However, understanding the investment risk for the client, we first suggested evaluating our 300g sample to assess our baseline quality.
Mark agreed and paid for custom glass water bottle sample shipping. Within a week of receiving our sample, they provided encouraging feedback: after comparing multiple suppliers, our product quality was rated the best. The next step involved finalizing the printed version for their end customers. After confirming the artwork, we produced a printed sample for his custom carbonated water bottle with logo printing, shared a preview video, and expedited delivery. The client’s approval of this final sample confirmed both the aesthetic and functional quality of our product.
With the Chinese New Year holiday approaching, we emphasized the importance of timely production to avoid shipment delays. The client acknowledged this urgency and, within a week of sample approval, issued a formal PO and made the deposit for this custom still water glass bottle. We prioritized production to complete and ship the entire 50,000-unit order before the holiday closure.
This drinking water glass bottle order was successfully fulfilled and shipped on schedule. The client has expressed clear intent to continue and expand collaboration, contingent on the consistency of the delivered product quality with the approved samples.
This case highlights that while competitive pricing attracts initial interest, it is demonstrated quality, proactive communication, and reliable execution that secure and sustain significant orders. By transparently addressing technical gaps, facilitating thorough sample validation, and diligently meeting tight deadlines, we transformed a large-quantity RFQ into a promising, long-term supply partnership—proving that excellence in process and product is the true driver of enduring business relationships.
