Printed water bottles work for a business because they are used every day and in plain sight: on a desk, in a gym bag, on a site or beside a training pitch. Velocity Wear brands insulated stainless steel bottles and tumblers with your logo for companies, teams, gyms and events, from 50 pieces per design and from £12 a bottle, with 10 to 15 working days of production after you approve the artwork.
This guide is for anyone comparing custom printed water bottles for a business order. It explains what the common names mean (sports bottles, gym bottles, metal bottles, drink bottles), which bottle styles and finishes you can choose, how the logo is applied, and how an order runs from enquiry to delivery. For the range itself, see our custom water bottles page.
What is a printed water bottle for business?
In business terms, a printed water bottle is a reusable bottle carrying your logo, ordered as a batch rather than one at a time. Buyers search for it under many names: logo water bottles, company branded water bottles, branded reusable water bottles, promo water bottles. Each name describes the same product from a different angle: the logo, the company, the reuse or the giveaway. What decides how the order goes is the bottle itself, the finish and the way the logo goes on.
Which bottles can carry your logo?
Every bottle in the range is insulated stainless steel, BPA free, with a leak-proof lid and an anti-slip base. Drinks stay cold for 24 hours and hot for 12. Within that, you choose the cap or the tumbler, and the finish.
| Choice | Options |
|---|---|
| Body | Insulated stainless steel, BPA free, leak-proof lid, anti-slip base |
| Bottle caps | Carry-handle cap, flip-straw cap or steel cap |
| Tumbler | A tumbler with a handle and a straw lid |
| Finishes | Matte black, matte white, navy, olive, stainless steel, red, pink and wood finish |
| Logo | Printed to a matte finish that sits flush with the powder coat |
| Packaging | Optional custom packaging, from a branded gift box to retail-ready cartons |
| Minimum and price | 50 pieces per design, from £12 per bottle |
If you are weighing steel against other materials, our comparison of insulated steel, plastic and glass bottles sets out the differences, and bottle lids compared goes through the three caps in detail.
Custom sports water bottles and personalised gym bottles
Personalised sports bottles and personalised gym bottles are the same steel bottles with the cap chosen for the setting. A flip-straw cap lets someone drink mid-session without unscrewing anything; a carry-handle cap hooks onto a finger or a bag strap between sets. The anti-slip base helps the bottle stay put on a bench or a changing room floor, and the insulation keeps water cold through a long session.
Personalised sports water bottles for a club or a squad are ordered at the same minimum as any other bottle: 50 pieces per design. Bottle colours can be mixed within that order, so a club can split its 50 between two finishes as long as the artwork stays the same. Clubs and gyms often add custom gym towels to the same enquiry, and our guide to water bottles for sports teams, gyms and clubs covers team orders in more depth.
Personalised metal water bottles
If you want personalised metal water bottles, stainless steel is what you get across the whole range. Choose the stainless steel finish to keep a metal look, one of the matte colours (black, white, navy, olive, red or pink) to match your brand, or the wood finish for a warmer look. The logo is printed to a matte finish that sits flush with the powder coat, so it survives daily handling and washing.
Custom drink bottles for the office and for gifts
Not every brief is about sport. Company water bottles for an office, a welcome kit or a client gift often suit a steel cap, or the tumbler with a handle and a straw lid, which sits on a desk all day. Custom drink bottles in a matte finish with a small logo read as a gift; a bold logo on a bright colour reads as merchandise. Custom packaging is available, from a branded gift box to retail-ready cartons, which matters when the bottles are handed to clients or new staff.
Design your own water bottle: what to send
To design your own water bottle with us you do not need a finished mockup. A short brief is enough to price the order:
- Your logo, in the best quality file you have
- The bottle style: carry-handle cap, flip-straw cap, steel cap or the tumbler
- The finish, and how many bottles of each colour if you are mixing them
- The quantity, from 50 pieces per design
- Whether you want a branded gift box or retail cartons
- The delivery country
Your artwork is approved before production begins, and production takes 10 to 15 working days from that approval. Delivery is tracked, worldwide, and charged on the weight and dimensions of the shipment; any import duties are paid by the recipient.
What do custom logo water bottles cost?
Custom logo water bottles start from £12 per bottle. The exact price depends on the style, the finish and whether the bottles ship in branded packaging, and every line is itemised in the quote. Shipping is quoted separately. Payment is 50% when the order is placed and 50% when it is ready to ship.
Choosing a water bottle company to brand your bottles
When people look for a water bottle company, they usually want someone to put their logo on a good bottle rather than design a bottle from scratch. That is the service here: you choose from the styles and finishes above and we brand them to your artwork. Velocity Wear is a trading name of Spiderhunts Technologies Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales, so a customised water bottle order in the UK is placed with a UK company, and the same terms apply to orders shipped to the USA, Europe and elsewhere.
Because bottles share the 50-piece minimum and the 10 to 15 working day production time with our clothing, a business ordering custom caps or uniforms can price bottles in the same enquiry.
Personalised water bottles for adults, teams and staff
Searches for personalised water bottles for adults often come from people after one named gift. Every order here is at least 50 pieces per design, branded with one logo or artwork, which suits a company, a running club, a gym, a school staff team or an event where many people carry the same design. If you are hoping for a different name on every bottle, say so in your enquiry, since the range is quoted on one artwork per design.
Can I see a sample first?
Yes. A sample costs £150 for one or two pieces, worldwide shipping included, and the £150 comes off your invoice when you place the bulk order. See how samples work for the details.
