Custom Canteens

Why choose a canteen bottle

A canteen is a water bottle with a flatter, wider body and a narrow neck. The shape is easy to grip, slides into a laptop bag or tote better than a round bottle and gives a larger, flatter imprint area for your logo. Insulated stainless steel canteens keep drinks cold for about a day, and many have a loop or handle on the cap for carrying.

Canteens have a premium, lifestyle feel, which makes them a good fit for client gifts, retail merchandise and outdoor and hospitality brands. Sport canteens add a flip spout or straw cap for one-handed drinking.

Decoration options for canteens

Custom canteens can be decorated with laser engraving, screen printing, full-color digital printing and pad printing. Laser engraving removes the powder coat or marks the steel, leaving a permanent logo that will not peel, fade or wash off in the dishwasher. Screen printing lays down solid spot colors and is the most economical method for one or two color logos on larger runs. Full-color digital printing reproduces gradients, photos and multi-color artwork without a setup charge per color.

Pricing, minimums and turnaround

Most styles here are priced between roughly $20 and $75 per piece, depending on the model and the quantity you order. Minimums for decorated orders usually fall between 12 and 24 pieces.

Every order starts with a free virtual mockup showing your logo on the actual product, and nothing goes into production until you approve it. Setup is a one-time charge per imprint color and location, and repeat orders of the same artwork usually skip it. Standard production is typically five to ten working days after proof approval, and many items can be rushed.
