Questions buyers ask
Do I need the filling machine too?
Only if you bottle your own water. Many buyers start with the blower and add the filler, capper and labeler later. We quote each stage so you can scale.
What about the mould?
The blow mould is specific to your bottle shape and volume. We order it to your design or sample and confirm it on the factory acceptance test.
Want a landed price for your machine?
Send your specs and quantity. We quote FOB or delivered within two business days.
