That's why people turn to packaging distributors. We can source molds for about $5000 to $7000 a cavity. O-I is working with Budweiser, Coors, and Snapple. Their intrests are not with the startup company.

Coca-cola is so big that they make their own bottles and don't even look for plastic sourcing.

Did you ever find someone reasonable to design your package?

Did you ever find someone to help you? Can you recommend a bottle designer?
