The vacuum layer is what makes this work: with almost nothing left to conduct heat away, hot food stays above serving temperature through a working day, and in the larger sizes you can pour in boiling water and raw rice in the morning and open cooked congee at lunch. The inner wall is 304 stainless throughout — the standard for food contact, and what keeps a flask tasting of nothing after a year of coffee. The closure seals inverted, which is the only test that matters for something that travels in a bag.
A supermarket chain in Dubai takes this one for families. It also goes through a homeware retailer. Keeps reordering.

There are two walls of steel with the air drawn out between them. With almost no air left, there is almost nothing to carry heat from the inside wall to the outside one — which is why a vacuum flask behaves differently from a double-wall cup that simply has a gap.
What that means in practice for TM-1003: the outside stays comfortable to hold with a hot fill, and the drink is still warm hours later. We test in the region of 10–12 hours hot and longer cold, but what we can say is that it depends on the fill temperature, how full it is and how often the lid comes off. A bottle opened every twenty minutes behaves nothing like one left closed.
Ask for the measured test on this model rather than a headline number, and we will send it with the conditions it was run under so you can compare it against whatever else is on your desk.
Not a spec sheet — what buyers actually do with it, why they come back, and what we have had to sort out along the way.

a smell on first fill
We are not going to claim none of that can ever happen. What we can tell you is where the checks sit: the sample you approve stays in the plant as the reference, the first unit off the bulk line is compared against it, and anything that has moved gets sorted out before the rest of the run continues.

A brand owner came to us with a run in laser engraving, on a date that left no slack.
We took it because we could see how it would work, not because we wanted the order. The buyer knew the plan before the deposit was paid.
They placed the next order off the back of it.

Your end users put it in more places than a product listing suggests: a desk at work and a weekend hike.
The 1400 ml / 1600 ml / 2000 ml was sized for that overlap rather than for one of them — big enough to be worth carrying, small enough that people actually carry it. That is usually what decides whether a promotional piece gets used twice or once.
Three things buyers tell us go wrong on a first order, and what happens here at each.
A physical sample, not a rendering. Approve it and that unit stays in the plant as the reference for the run.
Bulk starts, we compare unit one against your approved sample, and if something has moved, it gets adjusted before the run continues. Catching a drift there costs an hour.
If a date slips or a colour moves, you get told while there is still time to decide — not when the container lands.
A quotation is easy to come by. These are the things that decide whether the second order is easy.

Five hundred pieces per design in the stock colours (the stock shades). A matched Pantone starts at 1,000 — a custom colour is its own spray run rather than a draw from stock. You can mix stock colours to reach the 500, which several buyers do on a first order to see which shade moves.
Yes, from the first 500 pieces — there is no separate logo minimum. Four methods in-house: silk screen, laser engraving, heat transfer and UV print. The straight body gives an uninterrupted panel with no seam to work the artwork around. Send a vector file and we return a print proof showing how it sits on this body before anything runs. Tell us the end use and we will say which method we would run and why.
Two routes. Stock colours — the stock shades — ship from inventory at 500 pieces per design, so a sample reaches you without waiting on a spray run. A matched Pantone runs from 1,000 pieces as its own spray batch: you send the Pantone reference, we spray a sample, you approve it, and only then does the line start. The first unit off the bulk run is then compared against that approved sample before the rest continues.
30% deposit to start production, 70% before shipment. On smaller orders we often settle the whole amount against the proforma invoice instead — two transfers cost both sides bank charges that are not worth paying on a modest total. Either way the terms go in writing on the PI rather than being agreed later. If your company has its own process, tell us early and we will work to it.
Freight is worked out per order rather than from a table, because it depends on the cubic volume and how you want it shipped. Once you have picked the models and settled the quantity, send us the delivery address and we come back with the carton count, the cubic and the freight — by sea, by air or door-to-door, whichever suits the date you are working to. Ask for FOB and DDP side by side if you want to compare handling the import yourself against one delivered price.
Send a drawing, a photo of something close, or just describe it. We come back with what is feasible on our existing tooling and what needs new tooling, with the cost and the lead time for each — before you commit to either. Most programmes start on an existing body with your own colour, logo and packaging; new tooling makes sense once the volume justifies it, and we will say plainly when it does not.
Six steps, and you set the pace at each one. 1. Send the enquiry — quantity, destination, and the in-hands date if you have one. 2. The quotation comes back with carton cubic already in it, so you can model landed cost before replying rather than asking for it. 3. Take a sample if you want one — or order straight from artwork if you already know the model. 4. Proforma invoice, then the deposit. 5. Production, 30 days from artwork approval; the first unit off the line is checked against the reference you approved. 6. Balance, then shipment with the full document set.
Yes — several buyers do exactly that on a first order to see which shade moves. Five hundred pieces per design in the stock colours, mixed however you like. A matched Pantone is its own spray run from 1,000, because the line has to be set up for it.
One person, from the first quotation to the shipping confirmation. The person who prices your cartons is the one who answers when the artwork changes, and the one still on it after the shipment leaves. No shared inbox, no hand-off at each stage, no re-explaining your order to somebody new.
Double-wall 304 stainless throughout — the standard for food contact in this category. The grade is marked on the unit. Styles change fast here, so test reports are held per model: if this one has been tested, the report goes with your shipment; if it has not, we can run a new test on a first order. If your market or your customer asks for something beyond that, tell us at enquiry and we will say what can be arranged and what it costs.
