Star Bottles

What Star Bottles does

Star Bottles is a Thrissur, Kerala-based B2B manufacturer and supplier of plastic and glass packaging, founded in 1967 as Star Bottles & Glassware Stores. The company produces PET, HDPE, LDPE, and PP containers alongside glass jars using extrusion blow moulding, injection moulding, and custom mould design, stocking 1500+ SKUs across bottles, jars, pouches, caps, closures, pumps, and sprayers. Its core product categories — PET bottles, HDPE containers, PP containers, airless pump bottles, dropper bottles, Boston round bottles, spray pump bottles, cosmetic jars, and window pouches — serve cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, FMCG, food and beverage, home care, and Ayurveda/essential oil brands. All materials are BPA-free and food-grade compliant, and the company holds ISO and BIS certifications, positioning it to serve regulated-industry customers.

The company operates a primarily B2B sales-led model with on-site quote request forms, a 24-hour response guarantee, MOQs as low as 500 units for certain SKUs, and pan-India third-party logistics coverage across 18+ states. A self-serve e-commerce storefront at shop.starbottles.in targets SMBs, startups, and individual buyers with per-unit retail pricing ranging from approximately ₹5 to ₹650 depending on material and pack size. The business is bootstrapped and family-held, with no external institutional investment, and supports 2200+ active clients from a headquarters in Thrissur and a branch office in Ernakulam/Kochi. Revenue streams include bulk B2B packaging sales (the primary stream) and higher-margin custom OEM/private-label work including bespoke mould design, custom colouring, and branded printing. A new extrusion blow moulding facility commissioned in 2025 signals ongoing investment in manufacturing capacity.
