When 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
Clients ask us all the time, “What are your most popular water bottles?” It’s hard to answer that question, because no two projects are alike. The perfect bottle for one client may be completely wrong for another.
That said, there are certain water bottles each year that clients gravitate towards. This year’s list is quite different from last year’s (you can view that list here). Here are our top 10 custom water bottles of 2015: Continue reading
Last week, Team Bulletin Bag was all business (see left) as we headed to the industry’s largest trade show in Las Vegas. We were on the lookout for new bottles that our clients (you!) might like.
So what’s new and trendy in 2016? The focus is on high-quality materials, which often leads to an even higher perceived value. Matte black finishes on both stainless steel and aluminum are hot. Odorless, dishwasher-safe Tritan copolyester is more on trend than ever before, and in some cases beat out aluminum as the material of choice! We even found a glass water bottle that’s encased in plastic, which combines maximum taste purity with durable construction.
When you’re planning marketing campaigns this year that involve custom water bottles, remember that it is most likely to get used when it features:
• Current or classic lines
• High-perceived value through weight, design, and material composition
• Appealing colors
In the coming month, we’ll be evaluating our top water bottle picks from the show. We study the costs and test out each bottle ourselves. Stay tuned to find out what makes the cut and finds a place on our site!

Custom glass water bottles are at once classic and stylish, and Bulletin Bottle [.com] is proud to offer a hand-picked assortment of them.
Glass is a time-tested, preferred water bottle material for lots of reasons. Custom glass water bottles are made from sustainable raw materials and can be recycled over and over again—with no loss of purity. It’s this clarity that keeps water tasting like water, with no altering of its flavor the way that some metal and plastic bottles can leave an ever-so-slight aftertaste (that’s only perceptible to some). Continue reading

If you’re shopping for water bottles for kids, you may have read our FAQ on CPSIA and child-safety.
If you’re still questioning why we need to put tracking information on your bottles, though, read on.
Today, 178,000 water bottles were recalled by Zak Designs. The inner plastic straw in the cap can break and pose a choking hazard. Seven children reported plastic fragments in their mouths while using these bottles.
So what does this mean for you? Continue reading
When Sasha Meyer was a high school senior in Southern California, she worked at a homeless shelter. The shelter was unable to provide enough water bottles to satisfy the needs of its clients, so Sasha decided to help.
She got plastic water bottles, wrote kind quotes and messages on them, and distributed them on her own.
Sasha wanted to continue her project when she left for college at the University of Notre Dame, so when she was a freshman she presented the idea to the University’s social impact club. They approved it, and her nonprofit organization, The Heartening, was born. Continue reading
