Water bottles with your logo: Recycled plastic, steel or Tritan?

A water bottle with a logo is one of the most widely used promotional items because it goes everywhere, every day – to work, in a gym bag and on bike rides. The most important choice is the material: stainless steel maintains the temperature and withstands heavy use, Tritan is light and robust, and recycled plastic is a good choice for large orders and events. Here is an overview.

Three materials, three purposes

Stainless steel

Steel is the durable choice. A vacuum-insulated bottle keeps drinks cold or hot for hours, making it ideal for staff who also use it for coffee or tea. Stanley Classic Legendary Bottle and Aya & Ida Vandflaske are both made from 18/8 stainless steel. Several of our bottles are made from RCS-certified recycled stainless steel, such as Spring 750 ml, which is single-walled and therefore lighter.

Tritan

Tritan is a lightweight, impact-resistant plastic that does not retain tastes or odours. Nalgene is the classic choice here, and several of their bottles are made from Tritan Renew, which contains 50% recycled material. Nalgene is a good choice for sport, outdoor activities and events where the bottle needs to withstand being dropped.

Recycled plastic

For large orders and events, a water bottle made from recycled PET is a sensible choice. It is lightweight, affordable and available with a carabiner so it can clip onto a bag. Avira Atik comes in both 500 ml and 1 L sizes in RCS-certified recycled PET.

Insulated or single-walled

If the bottle will be used for both cold and hot drinks, choose a vacuum-insulated model. If it is mainly for water throughout the day, a single-walled bottle is lighter and cheaper. For coffee on the go, an insulated flask or travel mug is often a better choice than a standard water bottle.

Printing or engraving

• Printing is standard on most of our water bottles. It allows for colour and works on both steel and plastic.
• Engraving suits steel and creates a subtle, permanent logo that will not wear off. We use it on products including our insulated flasks from Rains and mugs from Yeti.

We are happy to advise on which branding method suits your logo and the model you choose.

Size and lid

Most people choose a 500–750 ml bottle for everyday use. It fits in a bag and most bicycle bottle cages. A 1 L bottle is a good choice for sport, outdoor activities and long working days when you do not want to keep refilling it. Think about the lid too: a screw cap is leakproof and robust, a wide-mouth bottle is easy to fill with ice and clean, and a straw or flip-top lid is practical for workouts.

Use it for years

The most sustainable water bottle is one that is used for many years. Choose a good-quality model and long-lasting branding, and consider sharing cleaning tips with recipients. Stainless steel and Tritan withstand daily use, and a logo with carefully considered placement and colour makes it more likely that the bottle will be taken along every day.

Quantities and planning

Minimum quantities vary considerably between models. Many of our water bottles can be ordered from 25 or 50 units, while Nalgene bottles typically start at around 120 units. The minimum quantity is listed on each product page. If you need the bottles for a specific event, contact us well in advance so we can confirm the delivery time.
