Promotional water bottles are certainly one of the most popular promotional gifts of today. Their useful value and friendly surface for all types of branding puts them among the top promotional products, as well as many of them being eco friendly. Most people are happy to receive them as a gift since they’re very practical and are used almost always and everywhere. However, it is necessary to take into consideration exactly what kind of promotional water bottle we’ll be gifting out to clients, employees or business partners – we have to consider its material, quality, and personalisation of the bottle.
The fact is that there are almost no “harmful” water bottles on the market, as regulations in this area are very strict, and manufacturers and importers have to check such items over and over again to ensure the safety of the consumers. However, different materials behave each in their own way, so it is a good idea to get to know those materials from in on out before deciding on the final one. We roughly divide these materials into three groups, as knowing their advantages and disadvantages can help you decide which type of water bottle is the most appropriate to give out to your respective recipients.
Bottles made of plastic are very widespread and popular mainly due to their low price. The most commonly used materials are Acrylotrile Styrene, Polyetheen and Tritan, with the latter considered a substitute for glass due to its high quality, durability, and damage resistance. In addition, a water bottle made of Tritan is safe to use with both cold and hot drinks.
For the most part, all plastic bottles made of quality material are marked as ‘BPA free’, so they in general don’t cause as much harm to the environment. They are especially popular with athletes – since sports water bottles are usually made from BPA free plastic – so it is advisable to check the quality of the seal to make sure your recipients will not be randomly splashed with cold water.
Metal bottles are made mainly of stainless steel or aluminum. Metal bottles are popular mainly because of their longevity and durability, as these materials are resistant to damage from falls, making them extremely popular among hikers and mountaineers. They can be used for cold or hot drinks, since they, especially aluminum bottles, maintain the temperature of the drink very well. In addition, maintaining metal bottles is also easier and more efficient.
The biggest benefit of water bottles made from metal materials is that recycling or destroying them is harmless to the environment, making them eco friendly promotional gifts.
Although glass has always been used as a material for storing liquids, it is very important that there are no impurities of lead or any other chemicals in the glass. The disadvantage of glass is its fragility, which is why these bottles are often equipped with a neoprene sleeve to protect them at least a little from damage, as well as other environmental influences.
The issue with glass is also its sensitivity to high temperatures, which is why glass bottles are only recommended for cold drinks. However, glass is a material that is easy to recycle, so such bottles are considered eco friendly gifts. As a promotional gift, such bottles are useful both at home or in the office.
The very set of materials from which promotional water bottles are made suggests that we are talking about a business gift that has a strong ecological emphasis. At a time when we are all becoming more and more sensitive to environmental protection and sustainable living, this is a very important piece of information when choosing.
Another even more important fact is that reusable bottles are a substitute for the mountain of plastic we produce with disposable bottles. In Europe, we are lucky in most cases to be able to drink water from the tap, and reusable bottles can replace a lot of harmful plastic, which is one of the biggest polluters on the planet. This is why water bottles are one of the most important organic promotional gifts.
When choosing promotional water bottles, we should not neglect accessories such as corks, caps, strings, socks, which must also be made of sustainable materials. Only in this way will you fully follow the environmental vision
Water is the basic source of survival and each of us needs it constantly, every day, which is why the gift in itself is very practical. In this way, we have fulfilled one of the essential conditions of a promotional or business gift, usability.
Water and beverage bottles are usually made of PET (polyterephthlate) plastic. This material becomes toxic and harmful to health due to long-term environmental effects. Giving someone a water bottle will also allow them to store the drink in healthier packaging, which is by no means negligible. Your business partner or customer will always cultivate positive feelings towards your company or brand while using the bottle.
Almost a billion disposable bottles are discarded in Europe every month. This is a huge amount of waste that takes many years to decompose. Each gifted water bottle means some less plastic in the environment and this goal certainly justifies your decision after purchasing and giving away promotional water bottles.
