Sip on success: Promotional drinkware to boost your brand

By Mae Strehlow

Staff and customers will appreciate stylish, long-lasting promotional drinkware for daily use. Brands like owala^® and CamelBak^® continue to trend, and 4imprint’s own long-standing and best-selling brands offer durable construction, stylish touches and widespread affordability. Our drinkware merchandiser, Mae, offered recommendations on brands, exclusive bottles, mugs and enhanced imprints that’ll cap off your promotions.

Only at 4imprint—Refresh™ bottles

Create a one-of-a-kind promotion with exclusive products available only at 4imprint. “You won’t find Refresh water bottles anywhere but 4imprint,” Mae shared. New to the collection is the Refresh Captivate Water Bottle. It comes a variety of colour combinations for widespread appeal. “Also, it’s offered at a modest price, making it an all-around perfect promoter,” mentioned Mae.

Another winner from this line of promo drinkware is the Refresh Surge Water Bottle. Offer it as an event favour, trade show handout, or new-member sign-up gift. Choose the traditional push/pull lid or select the flip lid for larger sips.

Promotional ceramic mugs made to last

“When it comes to classic desktop drinkware—ceramic coffee mugs—we carry favourite styles and brands,” Mae said, “but we also have unique drinkware to make your brand stand out.” Put your logo on stackable designs, textured or glazed mugs, tall options and more. Custom mugs are long-lasting gifts for themed events, employee onboarding, staff milestones and more.

Save shelf space and organize effectively with the Totem Stackable Coffee Mug. “In a variety of colours, it helps you easily create your own branded supplies for use around the office or at home,” said Mae.

The Tempe Coffee Mug features a rustic ombre design that is sure to draw attention. It’s an excellent promo drinkware choice if you’re looking for something different.

Co-branding at its best

When you want to make a big impression, why not team up with a fan favourite? One popular choice is the owala^® FreeSip Vacuum Bottle. It’s a versatile promo water bottle option for any lifestyle. Mae said, “The chug opening allows for larger gulps, while the inner straw gives fast, refreshing sips.” A locking lid helps prevent spills, and double-wall insulation helps maintain an optimal beverage temperature longer. With two sizes to choose from, it’s easy to find the perfect partner for your brand.

Thirst-quenching hydrators, like the CamelBak^® Thrive Tritan Renew Bottle, will help them power through their daily schedule, whether it’s work, play or both. “The chug lid makes it easy to tip and sip,” Mae added. The large handle makes it even easier to carry for anyone who’s always on the go. Wherever their day takes them, your imprint goes too.

Laser-engraved and deep-etched sippers

Laser-engraved imprints add depth to your branding. With the Yowie Vacuum Tumbler, your engraved logo creates a sophisticated look, especially for gifting to clients or associates. “Feel proud distributing drinkware with your logo,” Mae stated.

Deep-etched imprints are gaining traction with people looking for a unique promo mug. Etched ceramic mugs, like the Cimarron Coffee Mug, set your imprint in stone. The texture will immediately draw attention and fit right in with your brand’s image.

Branded drinkware that looks good and sips even better

Create a lasting impression with drinkware they’ll reach for every day. Whether you choose exclusive styles, updated ceramic mugs, sought-after brands or eye-catching imprint methods, promotional drinkware helps keep your brand at hand.
