Finishing & printing techniques for water bottles.

Precise, durable & brand-appropriate.

aboutwater helps businesses to customise and finish water bottles made from glass, Tritan™ and stainless steel to a high standard. This means custom-printed water bottles not only display your logo, but also your values – executed precisely with modern printing techniques, built to last and backed by personal support.

We offer four professional printing methods which we apply specifically depending on the material, quantity and design.

Screen printing is recommended for large-area, one- or two-colour designs with sharp contours and is ideal for medium to large quantities. In addition to water bottles, this technique can also be used to print high-quality packaging.

The protective sleeves of our water bottles can be personalised using plastisol transfer. The design is printed onto transfer paper and then applied to the sleeve using heat.
