PP vs Glass Baby Bottles: Which Material to Specify in an OEM RFQ

AppleBear Baby in Yiwu manufactures bottle bodies in food-grade PP (the main OEM line for gift sets and volume wholesale) and borosilicate glass (60ml, 120ml, and 200ml standard-neck SKUs). We do not use PPSU and we do not quote PPSU as a material upgrade. PP models such as 812 and 8005C are the catalog workhorse. Name PP or glass in the same message as quantity and destination — a PPSU tender is not a SKU we run. Put the resin on the RFQ, not only the photo A first baby-bottle inquiry often attaches a picture and a capacity. The quote that comes back is only usable if the factory also knows the body material. PP and glass do not share the same tooling, packing, freight cube, or test reports. Mixing “please quote the pink bottle” with two resins in one unlabeled line is how samples and certificates miss the market. applebearbaby.net is the brand headquarters of Zhejiang YouZhi Maternal and Child Co., Ltd. in Yiwu. ISO 9001:2015 is factory-level. Food-contact reports are SKU-family documents — name EU, US, or another destination so the matching file goes with the quote.

Nipples on these families are food-grade silicone. A nipple-flow change is not a new bottle mold. Silicone bottle bodies need a silicone line and are quoted separately from PP gift sets.
