TA-1081 500 ml Handled Single-Wall Kids Bottle

Model: TA-1081 · OEM/ODM Ready · Jupeng Factory, Yongkang China

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. Buyers usually reach this page looking for personalized sports water bottles; if that is your brief, the figures below are the ones you will be quoted from.

A gift company in Germany takes this one for children and gym-goers. It also goes through a supermarket chain; the orders themselves are for branded promotional gifts and school procurement.

Every photo, and what it tells you

Product photos usually show you the same thing six times. These six each answer a different question a buyer asked us about TA-1081.

TA-1081 — Starting quantity
Starting quantity Five hundred pieces per design, 500 ml. Several buyers split that first 500 across shades to see which one moves before committing to a bigger run — we are happy to work that way.
TA-1081 — Colours
Colours Silver are held in stock, so a sample can go out without waiting on a spray run. For your own brand colour, a matched Pantone is its own spray batch from 1,000 pieces, and you approve a sprayed sample before the line starts.
TA-1081 — If you want something we do not list
If you want something we do not list Send a drawing, a photo of something close, or just describe it. We come back with what works on existing tooling and what would need new tooling, with the cost and lead time for each, before you commit to either.
TA-1081 — Seeing one first
Seeing one first Most buyers take a sample before committing, and it is usually the fastest way to settle a question. Seven to ten days to your door; we quote the sample charge and the courier separately so you see both up front.
TA-1081 — Packaging options
Packaging options It ships in a plain white box as quoted. Retail colour box, your own box design, printed UPC or EAN, hang tags and compliance labels are all available — each is its own tooling round, so we itemise them rather than folding them into the unit price.
TA-1081 — Who you deal with
Who you deal with One person, from the first quotation to the shipping confirmation. Whoever prices your order is the one who answers when the artwork changes, and the one still on it after the shipment leaves.

Anything missing? Ask and it goes in this table rather than in an email.

The lid is what your end users touch most

It is a flip-lid. Buyers tell us the lid is where their end users complain first — ahead of the finish, ahead of the capacity, ahead of anything on a spec sheet. It is also the part that gets least attention at the quotation stage.

On TA-1081 the lid was chosen for how it gets used rather than for how it photographs. It is built to hold a seal in a bag rather than to survive being shaken upside down; if your programme needs the second, say so and we will point you at a model designed for it rather than sell you this one and have it come back.

Ask for a sample lid and test it the way your end users will — from us or from anyone. Twenty opens a day for a year is a different test from one demonstration on a desk.

TA-1081 — Where we put the checks

Where we put the checks

If you are putting your own brand on TA-1081, the expensive failure is rarely the flask. It is having to explain something to your customer that you did not know to ask us about. Buyers who came to us after problems elsewhere describe: a material that did not match the specification and a logo that printed blurred at the edges.

Neither of those is a claim about anyone. They are the two questions worth putting to any supplier, us included: can I see the grade marked on the liner, and where exactly do I approve the colour.

Our answer to the second one is a named step. You approve a spray sample before the line starts, and the first unit off the line is compared against it before the rest of the run continues. If it does not match, the line stops.

Sourcing TA-1081? Here is how we run it

Three things buyers tell us go wrong on a first order, and what happens here at each.

You see it before you commit

A physical sample, not a rendering. Approve it and that unit stays in the plant as the reference for the run.

The first unit off the line is checked

Bulk starts, we compare unit one against your approved sample, and the line stops if it does not match. Catching a drift there costs an hour.

You hear about problems early

If a date slips or a colour moves, you get told while there is still time to decide — not when the container lands.

Who orders TA-1081

What you are actually buying from us

A quotation is easy to come by. These are the things that decide whether the second order is easy.

  • Before the order. Before anything is quoted we want the destination and the date, because those are the constraints everything else has to fit inside. If the date does not work, you hear that early rather than three weeks before it.
  • During production. Colour, artwork and carton marking each have a named step where you confirm them. If something moves during the run, it is adjusted before the rest is made.
  • After it ships. The same person who took your enquiry is still on it after the shipment leaves. If a date slips or a colour moves, you hear about it while there is still time to decide — not when the container lands.
  • One person, start to finish. You get one named contact who keeps your file open, learns how your business works, and carries the details between stages so you never re-explain them.
  • We will tell you when to buy something else. What we are unsure about, you hear about early. A finish we have not run on this body gets flagged before the deposit, not after the sample.
  • Twenty-eight years in this category. Twenty-eight years of custom work, and most of what we know came from orders that went wrong somewhere before they went right. That is the experience you are buying.

For Importers & Wholesalers
  • Steel grade is the one thing you cannot check from a photograph. On this model the grade is laser-marked on the base of the inner liner, so your QC reads it on arrival rather than taking anyone’s word for it.
  • Pricing structure, documentation, inspection and payment terms — the things you check before a first order — are set out here: Importers & wholesalers →
Wholesale Pricing
For Brand Owners — OEM/ODM
  • Brand owners usually discover the packaging budget late. Retail box, printed UPC or EAN, hang tags and compliance labels are their own tooling and proofing round — we itemise them rather than folding them into a unit price.
  • How private label runs here — artwork, colour approval, tooling, what is yours and what is ours: Brand owners & private label →
Full OEM/ODM Guide →
For Retail Chains
  • A shelf date that moves is worse than a shelf date that is long. We plan backwards from your delivery window and say early if it does not fit, rather than accepting it and hoping the line catches up.

For Promotional Gift Buyers
  • A logo that scuffs off after a season turns a gift into a complaint. Engraving is cut into the metal; printed marks vary by method. Say where it is going and we will tell you which one we would run.
  • Lead times against a fixed event date, decoration choices, and what 500 pieces actually buys you: Promotional & gifting →

For Hotels, Schools, Cafés, Events & Other End Organisations
  • If this is for your own hotel, school, café or event, the part that stops most first-time buyers is the import itself — the licence, the broker, the duty invoice nobody warned them about. Ask for a DDP quote and that layer goes away.
  • How DDP works, what it covers and where a local importer of record is still needed: DDP door-to-door →

Questions buyers ask before the first order

Five hundred pieces per design in the stock colours (Silver). 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 — Silver — 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, decoration 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.

Double-wall 304 stainless throughout — the standard for food contact in this category. The grade is marked on the unit, and the FDA and LFGB reports cover the finished product including the lid and seal. 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.

Yes. FNSKU labels, Prop 65 stickers, suffocation warnings and FBA-spec carton marking are done here, and cartons ship direct to fulfilment centres.

Standard export pack as quoted. Beyond that: printed colour box, your own box design, printed UPC or EAN, hang tags and compliance labels — each is its own tooling and proofing round, so we itemise them rather than folding them into the unit price. Tell us where it is going on the shelf and we will say what that market usually expects.
