First, honesty
What "custom" really costs තථ්ය කරුණු
You've seen the ads: "free logo, no minimum, 7-day delivery". Here's the truthful version. Customization adds setup steps — artwork preparation, screens or engraving files, first-article checks — which is why customized orders carry higher minimums than plain bottles and longer timelines than a marketplace cart. Sampling usually costs money at this scale, because real samples cost money to make and ship.
What we promise instead: before you commit to anything, we tell you what is achievable for your design, quantity and budget — and what isn't. That's the same standard as our public price research, applied to your order.

Ways to put your name on a bottle ක්රම හතරක්
| Option | Best on | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Logo printing | Glass bottles, gift sets | Screen or digital printing; single-colour prints are the most durable and economical |
| Laser engraving | Stainless steel | Permanent, wear-proof, premium look; greyscale logos convert best |
| Custom colour | Steel bottles, caps, sleeves | Usually from a standard palette; exact Pantone matching depends on quantity |
| Custom packaging | Gift sets, corporate gifting | Boxed sets for hotels and gifting; box printing typically adds a separate minimum |
Full OEM — a bottle shaped and tooled entirely to your design — exists in the market but carries substantially higher minimums and tooling costs. If that's your requirement, ask and we'll explore it honestly.

Procurement checklist
Plan for staff use and client gifting separately
For employee bottles, begin with the working day: carrying weight, desk or site use, cleaning and replacement lids. For client gifts, add presentation, packaging and delivery to individual recipients. Keep the two quantities separate in your brief so a gift-box requirement does not increase the cost of every staff bottle.
Confirm the recipient count, quantity by use, artwork owner, sample approval date and delivery locations. Agree who stores spare stock and whether future starters can receive the same model. A pilot with a small staff group can reveal lid or cleaning problems before you commit to the full order.
