Frequently Asked Questions About Printing Logos on Water Bottles and Sports Bottles
What’s the difference between a water bottle, a sports bottle, and a drinking bottle?
In practice, these terms are often used interchangeably to refer to the same type of product: a reusable bottle for carrying water or another beverage. At Retulp , you’ll find them in various materials and shapes, from stainless steel water bottles to biodegradable sports bottles and flat water bottles—all of which can be printed with your own logo.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Orders can be placed starting at 48 units per product. For larger quantities—for example, for an entire organization or government agency—more attractive volume discounts often apply. Request the price list for a breakdown by quantity.
Can I have just a small number of drinking bottles or sports bottles printed?
Yes, we accept small orders as well. This makes it feasible even for a small club, a local business, or a small team to have items printed.
Can I see in advance how my logo will look on the water bottle or sports bottle?
Yes, you’ll first receive a free digital proof with your logo on the product you’ve chosen. This way, you can see exactly what it will look like before you give your approval. Please include your logo as a vector file with your request.
How much does it cost to have drinking bottles or sports bottles printed?
At Retulp , you pay an all-inclusive price: printing, setup fees, and shipping are all included. So there are no additional costs afterward. The price per unit depends on the product you choose, the print design, and the quantity. Request a price list for a detailed overview.
Can an employee’s or member’s name be engraved on the bottle?
Yes, in addition to the logo, the first name of an employee, customer, or member can also be engraved on the bottle or cup. This is available for orders as small as 48 pieces, so it’s perfect for a small team, a department, or a club.
Can we have text printed next to the logo?
Yes, in addition to the logo, text can also be printed or engraved, such as a slogan, year, or congratulatory message. This allows you to make a water bottle or thermos even more personalized or use it for a specific occasion.
Can a bottle or cup be made in our company’s or club’s colors?
Most products are available in multiple colors, and custom printing in the colors of your company, organization, or club goes a long way. Discuss the options when you submit your request, and we’ll work with you to see what’s feasible.
Can you deliver to multiple locations or branches?
Yes, an order can be split across multiple locations or branches. This is convenient for organizations with different offices or departments in Belgium.
How quickly can orders be delivered?
Delivery is possible within [fill in] business days after approval of the proof. If you’re ordering for a specific occasion such as an event, anniversary, or competition, please plan [fill in] weeks in advance.
What makes a good water bottle or sports bottle for employees who are often on the go?
A flat water bottle is a smart choice for this purpose: it slips easily into a bag or onto a belt without rubbing. Avia Partner chose this option for staff who are on their feet all day. For use in the office—for example, under a water faucet—a stainless steel thermos is often more practical.
Is there a difference between a stainless steel water bottle and a biodegradable water bottle?
Yes, a stainless steel water bottle is made of stainless steel and keeps beverages hot or cold longer. A bio-based water bottle is made of bio-based material and is lighter, making it suitable for sports or everyday use on the go, for example.
Are there any water bottles suitable for carbonated beverages?
Yes, there are thermos bottles suitable for carbonated beverages. The Queen Elisabeth Institute made a conscious choice to use these, in combination with a bottle that can also be filled from a faucet or water dispenser.
Are the water bottles and sports bottles dishwasher-safe?
Most stainless steel water bottles and thermoses are dishwasher-safe. This is indicated for each product, so you know what you’re choosing before you buy.
What makes a great water bottle for a sports club or during a competition?
An eco-friendly water bottle or thermos with a club logo is a classic choice that works well as a team gift for a competition or tournament. The SOS Swimming Club has ordered water bottles and thermoses this way on multiple occasions for the entire club.
What’s a good thank-you gift for volunteers or members of an organization?
A water bottle or sports bottle featuring the club’s logo is a tangible token of appreciation that lasts for years—whether during practices, competitions, or volunteer work. For example, the SOS Swimming Club uses water bottles and thermoses as gifts for the entire club during a swimming competition.
Can we have a cooler bag or cooler printed in addition to sports bottles?
Yes, cooler bags can also be printed with a logo, just like lunch boxes and premium bags. For example, De Coureur Brewery expanded an order for organic water bottles to include cooler bags, to keep visitors’ cans of fresh beer cool.
Do you also work with restaurants, bars, and breweries?
Yes, various hospitality businesses and breweries in Belgium have already placed orders with Retulp. For example, De Coureur Brewery had eco-friendly water bottles and cooler bags made with their logo, and Hotel Jerom had thermos mugs customized in their own corporate style.
Can you also produce thermos mugs or coffee mugs in our corporate style?
Yes, thermos cups can be printed with a logo and text in your own corporate style. Hotel Jerom had thermos cups custom-made to match the hotel’s aesthetic, from the guest rooms to the lobby.
Can we also order drinking cups or coffee mugs for our own retail sales?
Yes, this happens more often than you might think. Some organizations order custom-printed water bottles or cups not as gifts, but to sell to visitors or customers themselves—for example, at a brewery, retail store, or restaurant.
Can we order water bottles or sports bottles for a one-time event?
Yes, that happens regularly. For example, the Flemish government ordered water bottles to commemorate the 30th anniversary of environmental impact assessments in Flanders. A printed bottle is a gift that guests will continue to use for years to come, rather than a promotional item that gets thrown away after the event.
