Reusable branded drinkware has quietly become the most requested item on our order forms. It is practical, it is visible daily, and it replaces something disposable - which makes it an easy sell internally.

Aluminium bottles

The aluminium bottle with carabiner is the all-rounder: light, tough and priced for larger giveaways. Best for events, gyms, schools and outdoor teams. Laser engraving gives a permanent mark that will not scratch off in a rucksack.

Thermos flasks

A 500ml thermos bottle is the premium option. Double-walled, keeps drinks hot for hours and feels like a gift rather than a freebie - so it suits client thank-yous, long-service awards and senior staff kits.

Ceramic mugs

A matt ceramic mug lives on a desk, which means daily brand exposure with zero effort. Ideal for onboarding packs and office-based teams.

Print or engrave?

  • Laser engraving - permanent, tonal, premium. Perfect for metal and single-colour marks.
  • Full colour printing - right when your logo depends on colour or you want photographic artwork.

Our printing methods guide explains which finish suits which material.

Round out the set

Add bamboo coasters or coffee cup sleeves for a coordinated welcome pack, or a keyring bottle opener as a low-cost add-on.

Ordering

Everything is printed and dispatched in the UK, with free UK delivery on standard orders. Send artwork as a PDF or high-resolution PNG, or use the free file check if you are unsure whether your logo will engrave cleanly.
