Custom drinkware

Custom drinkware is a bottle, tumbler, glass, or stubby holder with your mark on it. People keep these. That is the point. A paper cup with a sticker is not this product. Order drinkware when the brand should sit on a desk or in a bag for months.

Key takeaways

  • Custom drink bottles and branded tumblers are reusable vessels. Custom stubby holders and outdoor glasses are the event and venue versions of the same idea.
  • Pick the vessel for the drink and the day: commute bottle, desk tumbler, bar glass, or a cold can at a barbecue.
  • The logo has to survive a dishwasher or a wet esky. A paper wrap is not a brief.
  • Unitix supplies custom drinkware in Australia.

Which vessel to brief

Capacity and setting matter more than the colourway. Do not order a 1.2 litre thermos for a conference lanyard pack.

VesselUsual dayUnitix starting point
Insulated bottleCommute, site, gym500ml, 750ml, 1 litre, or a premium plastic bottle if weight matters
Tumbler / thermos cupDesk and car1200ml insulated thermos cup when they want volume
Outdoor glassVenue, wedding, festival barUnbreakable wine or sparkling shapes, not crystal
Stubby holderSport, BBQ, club eventCustom stubby holders for a can or a short bottle

How the brand sits on the vessel

Metal bottles take print or a wrap on a curved wall. Leave quiet space. A logo that works on a tote will look crowded once it wraps around 70mm of steel.

Glasses and stubby holders are seen in the hand, from the side. One mark, high contrast. Fine legal type on a wet cooler does not survive the night.

  • One hero mark: name or symbol, not a poster.
  • Colour vs the vessel: a silver bottle hides a grey logo. Ask for a mock on the actual colour.
  • Kit thinking: a bottle in a custom tote is a common event pair. Brief them as a set if they ship together.

How to brief custom drinkware

Drink, setting, volume, file. Skip the mood board.

  1. 1

    Name the drink and the setting

    Water on a site, coffee on a desk, wine at a venue, or beer at a club. That picks bottle, tumbler, glass, or stubby holder.

  2. 2

    Pick a capacity

    Do not default to the largest. People leave oversized bottles at home. Match the day they will actually carry it.

  3. 3

    Send a simple mark

    Vector logo, one or two colours if you can. Say wrap, one side, or laser-style if you have a preference. We will tell you what the vessel allows.

  4. 4

    Quantity and proof

    Headcount plus a few spares. Approve a mock on the real colour. Browse drinkware when the vessel is chosen.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get custom drink bottles made in Australia?+
Yes. Unitix brands drink bottles and other drinkware for Australian businesses and events. Interstate shipping is the same custom path as Melbourne.
What is the difference between a bottle and a tumbler?+
A bottle is for carrying and usually has a lid you drink through on the move. A tumbler or thermos cup is for a desk or a car. Brief the day, not the word.
Do you print stubby holders as well?+
Yes. Custom stubby holders are in the same drinkware range as bottles and glasses.
