Hello is anyone bottling their own sauce? If so do what kind of bottle do you use ? Also do you use a shrinkwrap machine for the plastic wrapping top? Any help would be greatly appreciated!:-D

In many states it's illegal to bottle sauce and sell to the public. Start by contacting your local heath department. Some states will allow for small "Cottage Industry" to sell at farmers markets.
Otherwise:
Without being incorporated or registered as a Limited Liability Company (LLC), having food packing liability insurance, all the proper permits, licenses, certifications, and inspections that are required, then you are taking a huge financial risk without limits.
No one should engage in the food business without being registered as a legitimate business. Without being incorporated (or legally registered as a LLC) you and all of your assets owned by you and your family are up for grabs in a lawsuit. Incorporating separates you and your personal assets from those of the recognized corporate entity. In a lawsuit they can sue the corporation but cannot come after you personally unless you blatantly caused harm as an individual.
If you are planning on doing so, you should be aware of the laws and the risks involved. By ignoring these and not investigating the legal requirements for any event, you are putting yourself at a great risk. Ignorance of the laws and regulations are not a defense, in fact it will just help to build a stronger case against you if something should go wrong. More importantly, something doesn't actually have to go wrong, one only needs to claim they got ill from your sauce.
Do your homework before taking that first step.

Thanks I did all of that just trying to get some insight of bottles and shrinkwrap.

Research "co-packing" or "co-packers". These are companies that take your proprietary recipes and prepare them in FDA/Health Dept. -approved facilities.
