Our team will assist you with all aspects of printed drinking bottles – from design ideas to ordering.

Material selection and bottle shapes
Before you have your bottles printed, it is worth considering the material and shape. Both influence not only the appearance but also the handling of your bottles.
Glass
Glass bottles represent elegance and high quality. They are neutral in taste and look particularly classy – perfect for offices, meetings or premium promotional gifts.
Tritan
Tritan bottles are lightweight, shatterproof and BPA-free. They are ideal for sports, school or outdoor events where robustness and everyday practicality are required.
In our shop, you will find a wide selection of bottles for every purpose.
Design & Printing Areas
To ensure your printed drinking bottles look their best: each shape offers different printing areas – from classic single-colour logos to creative and unusual designs. Please note:
Using vector graphics
So that lines, contours and lettering remain razor sharp – even with small details.
Apply colours correctly
Depending on the printing process, you should use CMYK or Pantone to ensure that your colours are as vibrant as you imagine them to be.
Check resolution
A minimum resolution of 600 dpi ensures that all details are clearly and cleanly printed on the bottle.
Embed fonts or convert them into paths
This ensures that nothing slips during printing and everything appears exactly as you designed it.

Printing techniques for printed bottles
Depending on the motif and colour selection, different methods are suitable for printing on drinking bottles:
Screen Printing
Imagine your logo or motif being applied to the bottle through a precisely fitting screen and carefully burned in. It almost sounds like magic, but it’s pure technology! The result: a durable, dishwasher-safe print that can withstand even the toughest everyday demands. Ideal for logos or designs with few colours and larger quantities.
Digital Printing
Do you love vibrant, multi-coloured designs or want to give your motif extra expressiveness? Then digital printing is the perfect choice! Directly from your file onto the bottle and in brilliant quality. Particularly suitable for creative, colourful and detailed motifs.
