Popular Types of Custom Drinkware

Promotional drinkware comes in countless shapes and sizes for a wide range of intended uses. Here's a rundown of all the different types of customized drinkware available for purchase with your custom printed or engraved company logo.

Custom Water Bottles

As you may have guessed, custom water bottles are the most popular style of custom logo drinkware. A personalized water bottle is the perfect way to stay hydrated when you're on-the-go. Personalized water bottles are also a Top 10 Trade Show Giveaway as well!

Custom Tumbler Cups

Tumblers make great promotional drinkware for a few reasons. First, they're usually made from stainless steel, meaning they're ideal for engraving. Secondly, tumbler cups from top brands like YETI, S'well, and Pelican keep your hot drinks hot for 12 hours and your cold drinks cold for 24 hours. How cool is that?

Personalized Coffee Mugs

The power of a customized coffee mug cannot be understated. For most of us it's the first thing we pick up when we get to work in the morning. Who wouldn't want to have their logo associated with that sweet caffeinated goodness?

    

Custom Travel Mugs

The same logic applies here with custom logo travel mugs. However, these coffee mugs all feature a lid to prevent spilling when you're traveling and are insulated to keep your coffee or tea piping hot for hours.

Custom Koozies & Can Coolers

If you're looking to maximize impressions of your logo without spending a ton of money then custom printed koozies are a great choice. These custom logo can and bottle coolers are cheap, easy to hand out, and look great with a printed design. Oh, and they'll keep your beer cold too, which is pretty awesome.

Engraved Low-Ball Cups & Wine Tumblers

There are far too many occasions that call for a cocktail or a glass of wine but are not ideal for traditional glass drinkware. That's where these custom logo low-ball cups and wine tumblers come into play. Now you can enjoy a drink at the pool, on the lake, or just about anywhere else.

Custom Travel Bottles

When you're on the move it's important to stay hydrated, so you need custom drinkware that can keep up with you. These personalized travel water bottles are sturdy enough to take a beating and functional enough to clip onto your backpack or fit into a side pocket. Now let the adventure begin.

Custom Engraved Flasks

Adding your custom engraved company logo to a steel or wood flask instantly transforms it into a classy corporate gift that's perfect for the holidays or for an incentive program. However, as much as you might want to sometimes, we don't recommend breaking these out at work.

Custom Logo Shaker Bottles

Get the most out of your workouts with these personalized protein shaker bottles, complete with your custom printed company logo. These blender bottles make excellent promotional products if your company is in the health, fitness, or sports industries!

Engraved Moscow Mule Cups

Moscow mules are tasty, but we're pretty sure that half the reason people like them so much is because of the fancy copper cup they come in. That's why they make awesome corporate gifts, especially when you add your custom printed or engraved logo.

Custom Infuser Bottles

Water can get a little boring sometimes... unless you can switch up the flavor whenever you want in one of these sweet personalized fruit infuser bottles! Plus, custom printed infusers are a great way to stand out from traditional promotional drinkware at an event.

Personalized Jugs & Pitchers

Whether you're looking to add some flare to your conference room with a personalized water pitcher or you want to provide your whole team with hydration on the jobsite, these custom logo jugs and pitches will do the trick.

Custom Printed Pint Glasses and Beer Mugs

Branded drinkware doesn't have to be all about water and coffee. Show that your brand knows how to have a good time too by adding your custom printed company logo to our selection of decorated pint glasses and beer mugs.

Custom Wine Glasses

Beer not your thing? Don't worry, we've got you covered on personalized wine glasses and wine tumbler cups too! Available in both stemless and stemmed styles, a custom wine glass makes a fantastic corporate gift for your clients and colleagues alike.

Applications for Custom Drinkware

The most common application for personalized drinkware is drinking beverages... Dad jokes aside there are a few great business applications for custom drinkware as well.

Corporate Gifts

Custom logo drinkware is perfect as a gift for customers, clients, and employees alike. The main reason for that is that drinkware is just so reliable as a gift. You don't need to track down sizes or learn personal details about your recipients because literally everyone drinks water.

Promotional Products

Company logo branded drinkware makes ideal promotional items for the same reason that it makes ideal corporate gifts, drinkware is something literally everyone uses. Plus, you'll probably makes someone's day that forgot to bring their own water bottle to the trade show or recruiting event.

New Employee Welcome Gifts

Custom logo water bottles, tumblers, and coffee mugs are an excellent way to welcome your new co-worker to your team. Nothing makes you feel at home like some custom branded merch!

How to Customize Drinkware with Your Logo

Here at Merchology our team of product decoration experts can customize products using more than ten different customization techniques! As you can imagine, some methods work better than others depending on the product. You're probably not going to embroider a YETI cup. Here are the two personalization techniques that work best for drinkware.

Pad Printing

Because the vast majority of branded drinkware styles are rounded and not flat, pad printing is the perfect decoration method for customizing drinkware. Aside from drinkware, custom pad printing is frequently used to decorate custom notebooks, golf balls, and electronics. Learn how pad printing is performed here.

Engraving

Decorating drinkware with your engraved company logo or custom design is a great way to increase the perceived value of your item. Aside from drinkware, popular laser engraved products include custom headphones, portable chargers, bluetooth speakers, and pens. Fun Fact: laser etching can also be used to customize clothing as well (see video below)! Learn how the laser engraving process works here.
