Stainless Steel Water Bottles

One of the up and coming trends in the advertising specialties industry is the metal water bottle. Metal water containers have been around for a long time. The settlers of the American West of 150 years ago used metal canteens. However, the metal water bottle has come a long way.

The new bottles are sleek, modern, innovative caps, straps, and cases for attaching them to bicycles. They come in an array of colors or in rugged unfinished steel or aluminum. Aluminum and stainless steel are particularly effective in sport bottles, because they are chemically stable, and the water or liquid stays clean and untainted. They are BPA free which is a large concern right now. There are two consumer products manufacturers making beautiful metal sport bottles. One is Klean Kanteen making stainless steel sport bottles. The other is Sigg, a Swiss company which makes an extruded aluminum bottle with a patented liner. Neither Sigg nor Klean Kanteen are inexpensive, and bottles can range as high as $25 each with many of the models costing in the high teens.

My favorite products in the promotional products industry are the H2go steel water bottles made by ETS Express. They are attractive and come in several sizes and shapes and a lot of cool colors that can successfully match almost any brand, plus they are about one third the cost of the big name brands. American Promotions collection of H2Go stainless steel sport bottles is found here. Here is the color selection for the H2Go Bolt Stainless Steel Water Bottle.

I personally recommend stainless steel water bottles from CynerGreen. They come in really fun shapes and lots of different sizes and colors. They have bottles for both kids and adults. They also have a kids line called CGKidz which is designed by an 11-year old girl that includes a stainless sippy cup and smaller bottle. They are also a totally green company which is important to me.

Lauren, Thanks for the tip. I checked out the CynerGreen company. It looks like you have a lot of great green products.

It would be smart for you folks to distribute through promotional products distributors, because it would give you access to over 20,000 distributors, who are able to show and sell your products in the businesses all over North America.
