Anyone know where to get 750ml amber swing top bottles in pallet quantities?

I stock these in Chicago area. Larry Brown / Crown Packaging Int'l. Please call me at 312-636-3285 or email at brownpkg@comcast.net

Is there a generally acceptable amount of bottle rejects due to imperfections (cracks, etc.) in any given shipment?

There should be quality standards available from your supplier that manufacturer uses. Cracks are never acceptable and would not be considered a defect. The root cause may be a defect but a crack itself would be caused by contact or rough handling. Our glass container industry rates defects into 3 basic categories. Major - These would cause harm to the consumer; Minor - These will effect the way the bottle performs during production; Cosmetic - Visually the container doesn't look correct but defect does not effect container's use. Overall all defects, which there are far too many to list, generally should never exceed 1/2 of one percent of a total production run. This would not be your particular order unless your order included every bottle produced. Any good supplier should be able to determine what the cause of a crack was and determine if the root cause was a defect. If you would be interested in getting a hold of testing lab to determine your particular issue I would suggest getting a hold of the Glass Packaging Institute. http://www.gpi.org/

I would be able to supply decorated glass ware out of Chicago if interested. There are several large restaurant/bar suppliers out of Chicago as well. Advise what your looking for and I could recommend one or two of them to you.

I am looking for a pet 1.75 liter bottle. Does anybody know of a supplier?

Hey I can hook you up. There are perhaps 4 manufactures that make these domestically. I am a distributor for 3 of them. Minimums are usually 100,000 unless we find a production run and add on to it. I would need to know how many you need and I can see if they are available. Also where you want them shipped must be provided for freight.
