Drinkware IMpressions

Premium Retail Brands + Your Logo

Because quality is the leading reason that people keep promotional drinkware, we’ve started with highlighting some of the premier drinkware brands like YETI, Stanley, Owala, S’well, Tervis, Camelbak, and Corkcicle that when combined with your logo make a great promotional item that will make a lasting impression. Without further ado: 

The YETI 20 oz Tumbler comes in a dozen different colors, so you’ll be able to find one that matches your business’s color scheme. More importantly, it keeps beverages ice cold or piping hot. Built to last, with a double insulated wall, the YETI will have your drink at the right temperature no matter what. Equally useful during the morning commute or backwoods camping, its shatter-resistant see-through lid allows you to check your drink status in an instant. 

When it comes to water bottles, the Corkcicle 16 oz Canteen is the gold standard. Proven to keep beverages cold for over 25 hours, or hot for 12, the S’well is stylish but tough. Its shatterproof stainless steel interior doesn’t retain taste, so you can switch liquids easily and don’t have to spend too much time trying to clean it out. It also comes with an industry-leading three layers of insulation which eliminates condensation and makes sure you won’t burn your hand on the exterior. Last but not least, it has a no-leak screw top, side grips, and a wide mouth for adding ice cubes. Oh, and did we mention that with a 16-ounce capacity it can hold an entire bottle of wine?

Custom Corkcicle Wine Tumbler

The S’well 17 oz Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle is another great option. It’s BPA and condensation free and keeps beverages cold for up to 24 hours. It comes in a variety of colors to match any branding color scheme.

Billed as the world’s first temperature-controlled smart mug the Ember Travel Mug allows you to set your ideal temperature which it will maintain for up to two hours. All you need to do is adjust the temperature with a dial in the mug’s base and your coffee will be perfect from the first to last sip, no matter where you are. To really take things to the next level have your logo laser engraved into the Ember itself. Despite how advanced the Ember is, we can ship out your order in only 7 business days.

There are almost infinite decoration options for the Tervis 16 oz Tumbler. Manufactured from clear TRITAN® plastic for clarity and strength this tumbler has double-wall insulation to keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. Includes a 4-color wraparound, embroidery, or dye-sublimation emblem imprint. 

Rounding out the bunch is the CamelBak Eddy 20 oz. Made with durable Tritan™ material, the Eddy is shatter-, stain- and odor-resistant and is great in the office, at the gym, or on an outdoor adventure.

Travel Drinkware & Tumblers

Since drinkware is one of the most popular promotional items across the world, we think it’s appropriate to highlight travel drinkware. Even though global travel has shrunk due to the pandemic, many must still hop on flights, trains and buses to get to locations for work and other obligations. By adding your logo to these items and handing them out, you’ll be sure to get the word out about your company far and wide.

Custom Tumblers

Work From Home

Since it seems like working from home is here to stay, we decided to feature some products that work perfectly for your home office. You might think sending out swag to remote workers is not the best way to promote your business, but since 54% of promotional coffee drinkware is passed on to someone else, those promotional items, like the YETI Rambler 14oz Mug, the Corkcicle® Coffee Mug – 16 oz or the YETI Rambler 12 oz Bottle with HotShot Cap, and MiiR® Vacuum Insulated Travel Tumbler will still be generating impressions for years to come. The 15 Oz. Campfire Bamboo Mug fits in perfectly in a home office or at the cottage.
