\"customCustom water bottles printed with an organization\u2019s logo or messaging are super popular! It seems that a perfect storm has been brewing for several years between environmental awareness, government intervention, and a growing trend towards better health (for ourselves and the planet). The result is a trend towards reusable water bottles that shows no signs of letting up!<\/p>\n

Whatever your<\/em> reason is for choosing a project involving\u00a0custom water bottles<\/a>, there are some things to know\u00a0as you evaluate and ultimately choose a bottle for your branding.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Age Matters. We hear a lot of \u201cWhy didn\u2019t the other companies say anything? They have the same bottle as you.\u201d Bulletin Bottle has worked very hard in becoming a leader in product safety knowledge, and unfortunately we can\u2019t un-learn what we know. That includes the federal CPSIA mandates. You can read all about that here<\/a>, but just know that if your custom water bottles are\"\" going to kids, you may not be able to use the bottle you want. It depends on if it\u2019s been tested for the age group of your recipients. You also need to know that we\u00a0have to print tracking information on any\u00a0bottle for kids. We will be discrete, and we won\u2019t take away from your messaging, but we have to do it. New clients are often caught off guard by this\u2026make sure you\u2019re not.<\/li>\n
  2. Artwork Matters. Water bottles come in many different materials and styles. As such, if your artwork is multiple colors, or detailed, or hard to scale down, some bottles will work better for you than others. We want to give your logo the best canvas possible, so we will work with you to find the perfect bottle for your vision that includes the printing capabilities you need. That may mean switching bottles to one with a larger imprint area, or to one that can be printed in full color, or to one that can hold multi-color registration better. It\u2019s all about you\u2014we don\u2019t want to sell you the bottle you think you want, only to have you discover that your logo doesn\u2019t look as good as it could!<\/li>\n
  3. Material\u00a0Matters. It may go without saying, but you need to think about what your water bottle recipients will be using your bottles for\u2014or what you hope they use it for. An HR Director who wants custom water bottles for their employees may look towards glass bottles, but a running coach should look at water bottles that won\u2019t break when they\u2019re dropped. Metal water bottles aren\u2019t the best choice for a landscaping company, because they\u2019ll be outside and the contents will get hot sitting in the sun. If you\u2019re not sure what the best bottle material is, you can read our water bottle materials<\/a> guide or ask our team of experts!\"\"<\/li>\n
  4. Timing Matters. We have rush bottles available for our clients who are in a hurry and didn\u2019t have a chance to plan ahead (or maybe forgot to plan ahead …it happens!). We use whatever we have in our toolkit to get your custom water bottles to you in time! But we have to work together and be reasonable. If you need them tomorrow, we might be able to do it (seriously!) but we will have to overnight them to you\u2014something that’s super-expensive. If you need them next week, we can all breathe\u2026for a sec\u2026but be prepared for the possibility that your branding will have to be modified. It’s always best to give yourself plenty of time when creating custom promotional products, so if you know you’re going to need custom merch, reach out before you think you need to!<\/li>\n
  5. Cost Matters. We know you\u2019re on a budget. Some budgets are bigger than others, and we get that too. We are proud to offer a hand-picked selection of custom water bottles<\/a>, and we strive for fair, competitive pricing while lending our expertise to your project. That said, you will always be able to find a cheaper bottle (or reusable bag, or new car, or house, or\u2026). But you need to be mindful that you sometimes get what you pay for, especially in the promotional products industry. There are a lot of cheap products out there that are cheaply and irresponsibly made. We personally think through every project with our clients, from the time you submit a quote request to the time you unpack the box that was just delivered. We\u2019re real, live humans who enjoy interacting with our clients and working on projects that make our clients look good!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We won\u2019t sell you a water bottle that\u2019s not CPSIA approved for the age range of kids you are doing a project for, we won\u2019t print your logo on a water bottle with a teeny-tiny imprint area without discussing what that will do to the legibility, and we won\u2019t stop working for you to make sure your delivered project is just what you expected (or even better!).<\/p>\n
