A custom flask with your logo, in UK terms, is an insulated stainless steel bottle that keeps tea hot for 12 hours and water cold for 24, printed with your logo to a matte finish. We make them from 50 pieces per design in 10 to 15 working days after artwork approval, with a carry-handle, flip-straw or steel cap, invoiced in pounds and delivered anywhere in the UK.
What counts as a flask, and what does not?
In Britain, flask is the everyday word for a vacuum-insulated bottle: the one that carries tea to a building site or cold water to a football pitch. That is the product here. It is not a hip flask, the small curved container for spirits that slips into a jacket pocket, and we do not make those. Nor is it a wide-mouthed food flask for soup. If a hip flask is what your wedding party or whisky brand needs, this range is the wrong place to look.
A vacuum flask holds a vacuum, a space with the air removed, between two stainless steel walls, so heat has almost nothing to travel through. Velocity Wear builds every flask in the range that way. Each one is BPA free (made without bisphenol A, a chemical found in some hard plastics), with a leak-proof lid and an anti-slip base. The full specification is on our custom flasks and bottles page.
Which flask lid suits tea, coffee or cold water?
For hot drinks, choose the steel cap or the carry-handle cap; for cold water during sport, the flip-straw. Sipping hot tea through a straw is nobody's idea of a tea break, so the straw lid belongs on a flask that mostly carries water or squash. Bottle lids compared goes through each cap in more depth.
| Choice | Options | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Carry-handle cap | A loop on the lid to carry the flask by | Commuters, dog walkers, site and field teams |
| Flip-straw cap | A straw that flips up, so nothing needs unscrewing | Cold water at training, sports days and the gym |
| Steel cap | A plain stainless cap with the neatest outline | Hot drinks at a desk, presentation gifts, gift boxes |
| Finish | Matte black, matte white, navy, olive, stainless steel, red, pink, wood finish | Mix colours freely inside one design of 50 |
| Logo | Printed to a matte finish flush with the powder coat | Proofed before anything is printed |
Is a personalised flask printed rather than engraved?
Yes. Many personalised flasks sold online are laser engraved, but ours are not: the logo is printed to a matte finish that sits flush with the powder coat, the baked-on layer of dry pigment that gives the flask its colour. With the print level with the surface there is no edge to lift, so it stands up to daily handling and washing.
One consequence: a different name on each flask is not an option in bulk, because each separate logo or artwork counts as its own design, with its own 50 pieces. Personalised here means your organisation's mark on every flask. Colours can still be mixed within the run, so 50 flasks with one logo can go out in navy, olive and matte black together.
Paying for flasks and getting them delivered in the UK
UK organisations can be invoiced in GBP; USD, EUR, CAD, AED, SEK and DKK are there if needed. There is no published price list, because the quote depends on the cap, finish, logo and packaging, and pricing usually comes back within hours on a working day. Production runs 10 to 15 working days from artwork approval, then tracked freight quoted to your address, so a December order wants briefing in October.
To hold a flask before committing, one or two samples cost £150 with shipping included, credited against the bulk order. The UK guide to personalised bottles covers purchase orders and term dates, which matter most to schools, councils and charities.
