Insulated Promotional Bottles - The Eco Friendly Alternative
These days many companies are looking for promotional merchandise options which not only provide a valuable service to the people who receive them but also say something about the objectives and the attitudes of the company whose brand they cary. This is why insulated drink bottles have become so popular so quickly. Not only do they look great and permanently carry a company logo, insulated bottles provide comfort and enjoyment to the recipient while discouraging the purchase of bottled water and making sure your favourite hot beverage such as tea or coffee stays at the right temperature for longer thereby reducing waste.
The other advantage which insulated promotional bottles offer is that they are a relatively healthy alternative. Many people are skeptical about drinking out of plastic bottles as many have BPA in the plastic material used in manufacture. This is not the case with the insulated bottle range on offer here. The majority are made of food grade stainless steel which is not only long lasting but is considered to be the gold standard when it comes to hygienic and healthy food and beverage storage.
How Do Insulated Bottles Work?
In the manufacturing process a vacuum is created between the inner and outer walls of all insulated metal bottles. The same way that this principle works in a thermos flask it works for the insulated bottle range. The lack of gas or any other matter in the vacuum means that energy in the form of heat cannot induce across the space, therefore it cannot dissipate and remains inside the bottle, keeping the contents at the right temperature. The insulation is not perfect as some heat or cold is lost through radiation and by means of induction through the stainless steel walls, however the overall insulating effect is extraordinarily powerful and effective. To further improve the level of insulation some bottles have a copper plated inner wall. This combination of two metals, stainless steel and copper, reduces the effectiveness of normal induction between the metal surfaces, again leading to a higher average beverage temperature than in those bottles manufactured without this feature
Who is a Prospect for Vacuum Walled Water Bottles?
Everyone needs a drink, most people enjoy hot beverages at some time each day so an insulated water bottle or drink bottle which keeps their favourite beverage at the right temperature for longer is a popular idea with a broad cross-section of the business community. As a way to encourage your staff and business contacts to exercise or be more thoughtful in their consumption of disposable beverage packaging there are few better ideas which are better received than vacuum insulated promotional bottles.
Branding Options for Insulated Bottles
There are two basic ways in which these new style bottles are branded. First and foremost is laser engraving. The advantages of engraving are that the brand which is marled on the bottle is long-lasting. Unless you attack the logo with an angle grinder or file it’s going to be there for the life of the product. The downside of lasers engraving is that the image area available is relatively small as the curve of the bottle leads to distortion of the logo. For some applications this subtle application of branding is a better option than large-scale printing. The other option is to consider either pad printing of your logo or larger-scale screen printing. The advantage of these options is that they are generally a little cheaper than engraving and that in the case of screen printing insulated bottles the image can be reproduced much larger so it standout more clearly. The downside, particularly on a metal bottle, is that the branding can be chipped or scratched over time.
Choose the Bottle: Start by selecting the type of insulated bottle you want to customize. There are various options available, including stainless steel, plastic, and glass bottles, each with different sizes and shapes.
Select a Customization Method:
Decals/Stickers: Design and print custom decals or stickers with your desired graphics, text, or logo. Make sure to use waterproof and durable materials suitable for outdoor use.
Engraving: If the bottle material allows, consider engraving your design onto the surface. This provides a more permanent customization option.
Painting: Use waterproof paint to hand-paint designs directly onto the bottle. This method offers endless possibilities for creativity.
Vinyl Wraps: Apply custom vinyl wraps to the bottle for a professional-looking finish. This method works well for intricate designs and full-color graphics.
Design Your Customization:
Use graphic design software or online tools to create your design. Consider factors like color, size, and placement to ensure it fits well on the bottle.
If you're adding text, choose a font that is easy to read and complements your design.
Prepare the Bottle:
Clean the surface of the bottle thoroughly to remove any dirt, oil, or residue. This ensures better adhesion for stickers, decals, or paint.
If you're engraving or painting the bottle, consider sanding the surface lightly to create a rough texture for better paint or engraving adhesion.
Apply Your Customization:
Follow the instructions specific to your chosen customization method.
For decals/stickers: Carefully peel off the backing and apply the sticker to the desired location on the bottle, smoothing out any air bubbles.
For engraving: Use a laser engraving machine or handheld engraving tool to etch your design onto the bottle surface.
For painting: Apply multiple thin coats of paint, allowing each layer to dry completely before adding the next one. Use a sealant or clear coat to protect the paint from scratches and water damage.
For vinyl wraps: Carefully apply the wrap to the bottle, smoothing out any wrinkles or air bubbles as you go. Trim any excess material for a clean finish.
Finishing Touches:
Once your customization is applied, give the bottle a final inspection to ensure everything looks as intended.
If necessary, add additional sealant or protective coating to prolong the life of your customization and enhance durability.
Let It Cure:
Depending on the customization method used, allow sufficient time for the materials to cure or dry completely before using the bottle.
Enjoy Your Customized Bottle:
Once the customization is complete and fully cured, your personalized insulated bottle is ready to use or gift to others. En
