Custom water bottles are one of the most popular promotional items on offer and its not hard to understand why. Everyone needs to drink regularly, in fact it's a well known fact that you can survive much longer without food than you can without something to drink. Custom drink bottles have been available made from the classic materials for many years but it's only been in recent times that we have seen a range of promotional glass bottles made available for custom branding.

While plastic sports bottles have been the main style of custom bottle ordered over the years the new range of custom glass bottles have multiple advantages if you're looking for a promotional drink bottle which will be favoured by people in business. One of the great advantages of the new glass bottle range is the fact that borosilicate glass is used. Not only is this new innovation in glass tougher and more shock and impact resistant tan traditional glass bottles, the fact that the composition of borosilicate glass allows for a reduced volume of glass during manufacture means that one of the traditional reasons for moving away from glass bottles... their relatively heavy weight, is no longer the case with this recent technical innovation.

Another great advantage of glass over plastic and metal materials which are usually used in the products of promotional bottles is the fact that glass is an inert and natural product. Largely produced from silica glass does not taint or otherwise affect the quality of the liquids which are stored within. This is a great benefit, particularly when you are consuming a drink like water which has no other masking flavouring added and in which any contaminating taste is easily recognised. It's no surprise that glass is widely used in the packaging for many food stuffs and is considered to be the gold standard in inert packaging styles.

While glass is a material which can offer high level insulation, it is not an ideal material on its own if you wish to keep the contents of a glass bottle at a uniform temperature. While some double walled glass bottles are available which provide a level of natural, vacuum based insulation the best option for maintaining the internal temperature of a glass bottle is to use a neoprene sleeve. The double advantage beyond the high level insulation it provides is that it allows high level full colour customisation therefore expanding the impact of the bottle in marketing terms. The other great advantage is the fact that the neoprene protects the bottle from breakage and other impacts. If your plan is to hand out custom glass drink bottles to clients and staff as part of the outdoor or exercise program a protective sleeve is a great option.

Archeologists have uncovered ancient glass bottles which were made thousands of years ago so it may be surprising to some people that this ancient form of liquid packaging is now making a comeback. Take advantage of the technical innovations, the high level branding and the fact that glass is the best way to consume your favourite drink to add your branding and create a custom product which is sure to have widespread popularity.
