Short answer:<\/strong> Choosing a drinking bottle starts with the material. Plastic is light and economical, stainless steel is sturdy and can keep drinks hot or cold, glass looks premium and is taste-neutral. The logo is printed or, on stainless steel, engraved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A drinking bottle with a logo is used every day: at the office, during sport and on the go. To last, the material, cap and print have to match the use.<\/p>\n

Printing or engraving<\/h2>\n

A logo in one or two colours is usually applied with screen printing or pad printing. For multicolour designs there is digital printing, on some models all the way round. On stainless steel, laser engraving is a permanent alternative: it is subtle and does not wear off.<\/p>\n
