The removable infuser means the leaves come out when the brew is right, instead of continuing to steep into bitterness.
Broken into the parts a buyer actually checks: On cheap versions the glass leaks. The glass is clear rather than clouded with bubbles and inclusions. The infuser lifts out when the brew is right, instead of letting the leaves steep into bitterness. The glass clarity shows the drink properly, which for tea and infused water is half the product. The outer wall stays comfortable to hold with boiling water inside.
Also on the buyer’s checklist here: double-wall, glass, heat-insulating, consistency, clear, compact, the body finish.
What keeps this model on repeat order: complaints are rare enough that the buyer stops budgeting for replacements. Worth reading as a checklist rather than a boast — if those reasons do not apply to your channel, a different model in the range probably fits better.
Choosing between them
How TR-1019 compares with the rest of the range
Buyers rarely arrive knowing which model they want — they arrive knowing the brief. This table is the fastest way to check whether TR-1019 is the right answer or whether a sibling fits better. The row highlighted is the one you are looking at. Every model listed runs from 500 pieces per design.
Every model above ships from 500 pieces per design. Mixing several of them in one container is normal — a 20ft container holds roughly 26 m³ of cartons, so a mixed load is planned on carton volume rather than on piece count. Send the full list at enquiry rather than model by model.
Who is buying TR-1019, and what they do with it
A buyer in France orders this one regularly.
Also on the buyer’s checklist here: custom decoration, print.
What buyers tell us their customers do with it: shelf retail; loose-leaf tea at a desk; coffee; desk use through a working day; gifting. If your end use is not on that list, tell us anyway — it usually points at a different model in the range.
Also on the buyer’s checklist here: office use, coffee, retail, gifting.
Where this model has been pushed: A buyer in Thailand with their own logo printed timed to a seasonal peak. We ran the line on overtime and moved their batch up the queue, and we worked the freight booking through with them rather than handing it over at the gate. The reason it is here rather than in a case-study page: this is the kind of run that tells you whether a supplier can handle your peak, not your average.
Also in play on that job: trade shows, print quality, shipment planning, gifting, peak season.
Importers & wholesalers
This model packs 50 per carton (38×32×36cm for the base size — the full carton table is in the spec above), and that number decides how many pieces fit a 20ft container far more than the FOB price does. What decides your landed cost here is the carton, not the unit price: ask for the container plan before you fix a retail price, because a wide-body jar fills a 20ft on volume long before it hits the weight limit. We quote EXW Yongkang, FOB Ningbo or Shanghai, or DDP door to door, and we will say which of the three costs you least given where you are rather than defaulting to whichever is easiest for us.
Brand owners & private label
TR-1019 ships clear only — the colour on this one comes from the sleeve, lid or your print, not the body, so a Pantone brief should name that part. Budget it as three lines, not one: decoration sits inside the unit price, a matched Pantone is its own spray run from 1,000 pieces, and packaging is separate with its own tooling and proofing round. Brands that budget these as a single number are the ones surprised at quotation: decoration sits in the unit price, a matched Pantone is a separate spray run from 1,000 pieces, and a printed colour box carries its own tooling and one proofing round. We sign an NDA before you share artwork, and a shape you tool for stays reserved to you — the same terms we have run with Hallmark since 2017 and with KRAUS for over ten years.
Retail chains
TR-1019 packs 50 per carton, so a 12-store drop lands on a clean carton multiple rather than a split case. Retail-ready means more than a colour box: UPC or EAN printed and scan-tested before the carton is sealed, carton marking to your own packaging manual, and inner counts that match what your DC expects. A barcode that fails at the till becomes a chargeback, and it is entirely preventable at our end: we print and scan-test every UPC or EAN before the carton is sealed. Ask for the retail packaging spec sheet with your first quote — it lists carton dimensions, inner counts and the UPC placement we scan-test before sealing.
Promotional distributors
TR-1019 runs 2 capacities on one design, so a mixed-size order still moves as a single production run rather than 2 queued ones. Work backwards from the in-hands date, not forwards from the order date: 7–10 days for a pre-production sample, about 30 days production after approval, then 30–35 days sea freight to Europe or 25–30 to the US west coast. Production is 30 days after deposit and artwork approval, plus 7–10 days for a printed pre-production sample, plus sea freight — roughly 30–35 days to Europe, 25–30 to the US west coast. Late artwork is normal in this business; a date discovered late is not survivable — artwork approval is what starts the 30-day production clock, not the deposit. Tell us the date at enquiry and we will say honestly whether it is achievable.
Failures we hear about from buyers who switch to us
When a buyer changes supplier on this product, it is usually one of the following. We list them because they are checkable before you commit, not after.
✓
Lids that do not lock
The most common complaint we inherit: a container that seeps into a bag once is never bought again. Ask any supplier to run an inverted seal test with liquid in it, not just show you the gasket.

— Workable from 500 pieces per design. At 50 pcs per 250ml: 38×32×36cm; 320ml: 38×32×39.5cm carton, a 20ft container takes roughly 27,000 pieces of this model alone — worked from the biggest of this model’s carton sizes, and confirmed on the pro forma once the load plan is fixed. Tell us the full model list at enquiry rather than one at a time — the quote changes when several models share a colour run or a carton size.

— Already used this way. The body has enough uninterrupted surface for a printed or engraved logo without fighting a curve, and buyers regularly take it with a matched Pantone at 1,000 pieces.

End users & institutions
— Suited to offices. For institutional buying, specify laser engraving rather than print — a printed logo on a coated body typically fades within one season of daily commercial dishwashing, while an engraved mark is cut into the 304 steel and does not.

Not the right pick if…
— you need food to stay hot for hours. This model is not vacuum insulated — it is a container, not a flask. Look at our vacuum range instead and we will point you at the closest equivalent.
Where TR-1019 is actually made
Eight workshops in Yongkang, Zhejiang, running since 1998 — mould development, vacuum welding, injection moulding, spray painting, laser marking, printing, assembly, inspection and packing, all in one building. For TR-1019 the stage worth watching is glass forming and controlled annealing.
Glass is the category where the step you cannot see decides your loss rate. After forming, every body goes through a controlled annealing cycle, cooled slowly so internal stress comes out. Shorten it and the glass looks identical, passes a drop test, then cracks somewhere between Ningbo and your warehouse. That is why we specify thickened borosilicate rather than soda-lime, and why we ask about the sea leg before quoting inner packaging. Decoration runs on our own lines: laser etching frosts the glass wall itself so the mark cannot lift, screen print for flat colour, UV digital for photographic artwork.
We inspect 8% of every batch rather than a fixed sample per shipment. Buyers are welcome on site — eight workshops in Yongkang, Zhejiang, running since 1998, about three hours by road from Ningbo port and two from Hangzhou airport, which makes a factory visit a realistic side trip rather than a separate journey. Ask to see that bench specifically; it is where the difference shows — we check vacuum integrity on 100% of bodies at the semi-finished stage, before assembly and coating, because a micro-leak is undetectable once the jar is built.

FAQ
Ordering TR-1019 — common questions
Why TR-1019 rather than another model in this range?▾
This one runs 250 ml / 320 ml, and it is the one with a small pour size, for a child or a light portion. End users are gifting programmes, desk and office use. Where it stops making sense: any programme where the end user needs something this model was not shaped for. Tell us the use case and we will say so plainly.
Will TR-1019 crack with hot water?▾
No — borosilicate handles thermal shock far better than ordinary soda-lime glass, which is exactly why we use it rather than the cheaper alternative. It is also why this survives long-haul freight at a loss rate a glass programme can live with. What it will not survive is a direct flame or a drop onto tile; glass is glass.
Which colours can we order TR-1019 in?▾
Stock colours are clear — those run from 500 pieces per design. A matched Pantone is a separate spray or resin run and starts at 1,000 pieces. Mixed-colour containers are normal here: several buyers deliberately split a container across colours to see which ones move before committing to one.
How do we brand TR-1019?▾
Two methods on glass: silk screen for flat colours, UV digital for full colour. Send the artwork with your enquiry and we will tell you which one holds at the size you want. Fine serif type and hairline rules are where glass printing struggles, and it is better to find that out before the sample than after.
What is the MOQ, lead time and carton spec for TR-1019?▾
500 pieces gets you started on stock colours. Budget 1,000 if the brand colour has to be exact. Production runs 30 days after deposit and artwork approval, sample in 7–10 days. Packing is 50 pcs per carton at 250ml: 38 × 32 × 36cm; 320ml: 38 × 32 × 39.5cm. Shipping terms: EXW Yongkang, FOB from Ningbo or Shanghai, or DDP straight to your warehouse.
