Last Updated: 12 July 2025
You’re sitting on a sunny Australian beach, surrounded by crystal blue waters and golden sand. You reach for your drink bottle to quench your thirst and realize it’s just another boring, unbranded bottle. That’s where customised bottles come in – not only do they offer hydration, but they can also promote your brand identity at the same time! Material selection is critical when it comes to choosing these bottles for events or giveaways. Read on below to discover the best materials for promotional drinkware.
1. Selecting the right material matters.
2. Materials impact branding efforts.
3. Eco-friendliness is a growing trend.
Personalised Bottle Materials
Here’s a list of the best materials for promotional drinkware to help promote your brand identity at events, trade shows and amongst customers. Take a look below and find out which materials suit your business needs!
- Stainless Steel: Stainless steel bottles are an excellent option for those who love adventure sports or working out because of their durability.
- Plastic: Athletic teams may still benefit from custom plastic water bottles in bulk production quantities due to its affordability 
- Glass: Glass reusable bottles have become popular choices among environmentally conscious organizations focused on reducing their carbon footprint.
- Copper: Copper water bottles with supposed purifying properties are increasingly trendy, making them unique options that stand out from other promotional cups and mugs.
- Bamboo: Bamboo-made reusable drinking containers promote eco-friendliness since bamboo is renewable and biodegradable while still offering steel-like levels of sturdiness.

- Having multiple customer touch-points strengthens brand recognition.
- Product usefulness generates customer loyalty.
A Gymnastics Club Success Story
The Armidale Sports Gymnastics Club was struggling to promote their local club among young aspiring gymnasts aged 4-15. That’s when they turned to promotional drink bottles as a unique selling point.
They approached us for customised drinking bottles with the club’s branding, and we provided high-quality stainless steel options that were lightweight yet sturdy enough to withstand regular use by kids engaging in physical activity. The stylish designs of these sought-after items made them popular not just amongst club members but also among parents who took pride seeing their little ones hoist them around.
Thanks to the investment in promotional products like personalised water containers, the Armidale Sports Gymnastics Club successfully promoted their brand while attracting new members into their ranks.
Takeaway
In conclusion, selecting the most appropriate materials for promotional bottles will help ensure maximum brand exposure and customer satisfaction while also providing hydration. Selecting high-quality branding further increases these benefits, especially when combined with personalization options. Choose from stainless steel, plastic or eco-friendlier options like glass, copper and bamboo based on your business’s needs – making sure you opt for durable choices that will create lasting impacts on your customers.
