MAIDAO GLASS · PROCUREMENT GUIDE
Your sample approval should survive the next reorder.
Your sample can settle the appearance while leaving closure, filling and packing questions unanswered. A useful approval records which version you checked, what it demonstrated and what is still open.

Define My Sample Request
01
Your sample stage determines what you can conclude.
| Reference | Useful for | Not sufficient for |
|---|---|---|
| Drawing | Dimensions, capacity definition and finish specification | Seeing the actual glass appearance |
| Acrylic model | Shape, proportion and handling | Glass or filled-package performance |
| Glass sample | Actual form, material and agreed compatibility tests | Every future process or component change |
| Decorated glass | Artwork, colour and finish comparison | Unspecified long-term performance claims |
02
Five records for your glass sample approval.
2 / Closure and filling
Your closure reference, liner or stopper specification and the filling conditions used in the trial.
3 / Appearance
Artwork revision, colour reference, decoration area and the accepted physical sample.
4 / Test outcome
The checks performed, results, acceptance criteria and any unresolved exceptions.
5 / Packing and release
Final dimensions, closure fit within the pack, carton/divider brief and remaining sign-offs.
03
Real glass gives your sample approval a stronger basis.
Glass and acrylic have different material behaviour. Your actual glass sample allows the agreed bottle-and-closure, filling and decoration checks to use the intended material.
MAIDAO uses routine capacity checks in both production areas and can provide a residual-stress report with an order on request. Those factory records and your package trial serve different purposes.
04
Your later changes can reopen sample approval.
Your changed closure, decoration or filling process can affect what an earlier sample trial established. Your approval record helps identify which checks remain relevant.
Your quotation should distinguish the sample work and tooling from the production order. Any repeat development or further sample cost belongs in the agreed project scope.
YOUR PURCHASING QUESTIONS
Before you take the next step.
Can an acrylic prototype replace a glass sample?
No. Acrylic helps you assess the proposed form. Glass and complete-package checks need an appropriate glass sample and agreed test scope.
What should I keep after approving a bottle sample?
Your approval file can retain drawing and artwork revisions, closure references, test records and an identified physical sample. Open items and subsequent changes give your next order a clear reference.
Turn your packaging question into a specific brief.
A bottle reference, closure and intended use help us review the options that matter to your project.
