What is National Hydration Day?
National Hydration Day is an American awareness day held on 23 June to encourage athletes and the wider community to pay closer attention to hydration.
SafeTGard Corporation established the day in 2016 in honour of American football coach Victor Hawkins. Although it is not an Australian observance, local businesses can still use the occasion to support staff wellbeing, sporting events and health-focused campaigns.
Why use bottles for hydration campaigns?
Bottles keep water within reach while placing your logo on a reusable item that recipients can carry throughout their normal day. Branded drink bottles work well for:
- Employee wellbeing programs.
- Sports clubs and fitness centres.
- Conferences and trade shows.
- Schools and universities.
- Charity walks and fun runs.
- Outdoor events.
- Client and staff gifts.
Unlike a short-lived handout, a useful bottle may remain on a desk, in a vehicle or inside a gym bag. This gives your branding repeated exposure after the original event.
Which custom drink bottle should you choose?
Choose a bottle based on your budget, intended recipient, capacity requirements and whether the drink needs temperature control.
Are 750ml plastic bottles suitable for large events?
Plastic bottles suit high-volume campaigns because they are lightweight, practical and generally more affordable than metal or insulated alternatives. Cubic Promote’s 750ml Screwtop Promotional Bottles are BPA-free and made in Australia. Their capacity suits sporting activities, staff programs, school events and conference packs where recipients may need water throughout the day.
Plastic bottles can also offer strong colour choices and large print areas. Confirm the lid style and request a sample when leak resistance, grip or bottle shape matters.
When should you choose aluminium bottles?
Aluminium bottles suit campaigns that need a lightweight metal product with a more substantial appearance than standard promotional plastic drinkware. They are a practical choice for outdoor events, fitness campaigns, tourism programs and employee packs. Depending on the model, businesses may be able to print or laser engrave the logo.
Aluminium bottles are not automatically insulated. Buyers who need longer temperature retention should check whether the selected model has single-wall, double-wall or vacuum construction. Cubic Promote supplies aluminium and other metal bottles in bulk for corporate gifts, events and staff use. Read this case study about the Aluminium Bottles We Supplied for KordaMentha.
Are vacuum bottles worth the higher cost?
Vacuum-insulated bottles suit premium campaigns where recipients are likely to value temperature control, durability and a more refined finish. The Funky 750ml Promotional Vacuum Bottle has a BPA-free stainless steel body, powder-coated finish and secure screw lid. Its insulated construction helps keep hot or cold drinks closer to their starting temperature.
These bottles generally cost more than basic plastic styles, so they are better suited to:
- Corporate gifts.
- Employee onboarding packs.
- Client appreciation.
- Executive conferences.
- Staff recognition programs.
Our Advice
We recommend you don’t just select bottles based on which is more durable. The first thing to consider is always the budget and the expected attendees or recipients. Then, you can decide on which bottle types fit your option.
