Promotional Sports Bottles, Imprinted Water Bottles

Drinkware has been a favorite promotional gift with advertisers for decades, mainly for its practicality and affordable cost.  For many years the custom mug topped the list of the most-purchased promotional drinkware items, but today the Customized sports bottle (or "water bottle") has surpassed the humble mug as a contemporary favorite.

If you're new to the idea of using promotional products to advertise your business, custom water bottles make an excellent "starter" promo.  They offer a number of benefits.  Like customized mugs, they're affordable.  They're also lightweight, making them easy to transport and less expensive to ship.  And, of course, they're very practical and will be readily accepted and used often by receivers.

ArtPromos.com has more than 400 different customized sports bottles in stock, with new ones being added on a regular basis.  With so many choices, it can be confusing, especially if you've never purchased promotional water bottles before.  Here we will describe and define some of the features that you'll find on our imprinted water bottles.  Understanding those features may make your choice a little bit easier.

Lids- they come in various styles:

* Screw-on- This means the lid screws on just like the lid of a jar

* Sip-through- This means that there is some type of opening in the lid to drink from.  You don’t have to remove the cap to take a drink.

* Pop-up lid- The lid is hinged so that the top half pops open, revealing the sip-through hole.

* Pop on/pop off lid- The entire lid pops on or off without having to twist it.

* Straw-sipper- Instead of a hole for drinking, the contents are sucked up through a straw apparatus.

* Slide-action lid- The user slides a tab on the lid to reveal the hole for drinking.

* Push/pull lid- The user pops the sipper up to take a drink and pops it down to close it.

* Hook/clip lid- The lid features a hook which can be clipped to a carabiner and then attached to a backpack or belt. Some styles even come with a carabiner attachment or built-in carabiner.

* Many water bottles have a lid that is a combination of two of the above.  For instance, a particular model may have a screw-on lid for filling the bottle with liquid with a slide-action tab built into it for drinking.

Collapsible bottles: These are made of flexible, rather than rigid, material.  They expand when filled with liquid.  When empty, they are flat and compact and take up very little space.

Material: Our imprinted water bottles come in stainless steel, aluminum and various types of food-grade plastics.  Plastic bottles may be transparent or opaque.  Transparent bottles may be colored or colorless.

Body style: Our promotional sports bottles are available in different body styles, from sleek and straight to ridged, waved and curved shapes.  Every style is equally functional.

It is important to note that some of our imprinted water bottles were not designed to be cleaned in the dishwasher.  There are various reasons for this: some may not be able to withstand the high temperatures.  Others may fade in colour.  It's important to read the product specifications to determine whether a particular model can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
