BPA Free Bottles: Still the Best Option

Bulletin Bottle Products, Plastics News

BPA Free Bottles WholesaleBPA has been a regular player in consumer products for more than 40 years, and for at least ten of those years its safety has also been questioned. This week, yet another study has been published about exposure to and negative effects of BPA—this time in canned foods. It again reinforces the importance of choosing only BPA free bottles for your drinking water.

The study suggests that certain canned foods have higher concentrations of BPA than others. The researchers found that people who consumed one canned food item in the past day had about 24% higher concentrations of BPA in their urine compared with those who had not. Continue reading →

Bulletin Bottle Products, Promotion Ideas, ,

Water Bottle FundraisersMany of our nonprofit clients that hold water bottle fundraisers think they want to buy cheap water bottles to resell. After all, getting the most bottles you can for the money makes sense, right? At first glance, it might seem that way. However, this is not usually the way to maximize a return on your investment.

We understand that there is a lot of competition between equally worthy organizations for fundraising dollars. While not all nonprofit demographics will support a $20 per-bottle fundraiser, finding a “sweet spot” between initial cost and return will yield a much more successful fundraiser than you think.

Don’t believe us? Consider these three examples:  Continue reading →

Promotion Ideas, ,

With school budgets and extracurricular activities in flux, organizations are looking for new, creative ways to raise money. And would-be purchasers are tired of the same old, same old. They want to purchase useful items—things they will use over and over. Continue reading →

Five Reasons Why You Want a Tritan Water Bottle

Bulletin Bottle Products, Reusable Water Bottle Tips

I Love TritanYou may have seen recent blogs discussing our different bottle materials. Time and again, we refer to a Tritan water bottle as a quality alternative to an aluminum, glass, or other BPA-free plastic bottle. Does it seem like we just love Tritan? Well…we do! Here’s why the recipients of your water bottle project will too.

1. Dishwasher safe. BOOM. Really, do you need any other reason? For longevity of the imprint on the bottle, we do suggest hand-washing your water bottles in warm soapy water. But, a Tritan water bottle is very happy on the top shelf of your dishwasher, next to your glass water bottles. No other material should ever be washed in this manner. But all water bottles should be washed in SOME manner. Because gross. Continue reading →

BPA Free Aluminum Bottles: Why We Sell Them

Bulletin Bottle Products,

Large Aluminum Water BottleWhen it comes to water bottles, some think plastic has a lower perceived value than metal. It doesn’t matter what the material actually is. That’s why our BPA free aluminum bottles continue to be oft requested items. Aluminum, while a big step down from stainless steel or glass, is still viewed as a fancier alternative to plastic—even Tritan. We disagree, but we also know a lot more than our average client (we should…we ARE the experts!). Continue reading →
