Three Bottle Shapes to Consider for Your Branded Range
Straight bodies, large handled tumblers and wide-mouth bottles: three starting points to compare with your audience and artwork.
Three shapes often come up in our conversations with drinkware buyers: straight bodies, large handled tumblers and wide-mouth bottles. Each suits a different use. We can help compare them around your audience, artwork and packing.
Three starting points for a branded drinkware range.
1. The straight, simple body
A straight body gives a simple shape for logo placement and packing. Consider the height, opening and intended use alongside the design:
Packing: compare the box size, insert and carton count for the chosen shape.
Carrying: check the body dimensions against the cup holder or bag your programme is intended for.
Artwork: confirm the print area and logo placement on a proof of the chosen body.
A sample helps you consider the body, lid and artwork together before deciding on the first run.
2. The large handled tumbler (40oz)
A large handled tumbler suits programmes looking for a generous capacity and an easy-to-hold shape. Compare the lid, straw and body dimensions on a sample, then choose the colours and logo for your audience.
3. The wide-mouth bottle
A wide opening offers room for filling and cleaning. We can compare the mouth, lid and body together, including any infuser or accessory planned for the programme.
So what should you order first?
For a first run, an existing body with a simple logo can keep the sample and production plan straightforward. The applicable minimum depends on the selected model, colour and decoration; we can help choose the body, lid and packing around your brief.
Tell us the audience, intended use and quantity, and we can suggest models to compare on a sample.
Frequently asked questions
Which measurements help compare bottle shapes?▾
Compare the height, base diameter, opening and handle or strap on the actual model. Those dimensions affect carrying, storage, filling and the available logo area, so use the model drawing or sample rather than the silhouette alone.
How does the lid affect the choice of bottle body?▾
Choose the body and lid together. Check how the user opens and drinks from it, how the parts come apart for cleaning, and how the complete item fits the intended bag, shelf or cup holder.
How can I decide which shapes to reorder?▾
Use your own sales and customer-use information to compare the models. Capacity, opening, storage footprint and packing are useful details to review alongside repeat-order quantities.
How should I compare bottle capacity and shape with the target customer?▾
For a first run, an existing body with a simple logo can keep the sample and production plan straightforward. The applicable minimum depends on the selected model, colour and decoration; we can help choose the body, lid and packing around your brief.
What should I consider when adding a large handled tumbler to a range?▾
A large handled tumbler suits programmes looking for a generous capacity and an easy-to-hold shape. Compare the lid, straw and body dimensions on a sample, then choose the colours and logo for your audience.
When is a wide-mouth bottle useful for the intended customer?▾
A wide opening offers room for filling and cleaning. We can compare the mouth, lid and body together, including any infuser or accessory planned for the programme.
Which sales representative should I contact for samples, mock-ups or a quotation on this topic?▾
