Spring, events and a great atmosphere

Why glass bottles are more effective at events

With the first warm days, one thing happens naturally: people are drawn outside. Terraces open, events are planned, and suddenly it’s event season again.

For many companies, restaurants and event organisers, spring marks the start of numerous events – from company parties and spring markets to Easter celebrations.

And anyone who has ever organised an event knows that
success often lies in the details.
No matter how beautiful the location may be, if the little things aren’t right, sometimes that certain something is missing. This is exactly where our customised glass bottles for events come into play.

When events move back outdoors

Der Frühling ist die perfekte Zeit für Veranstaltungen aller Art. Endlich wieder frische Luft, längere Abende und – mit etwas Glück – Sonne statt Winterjacke.
Typische Events im Frühling sind zum Beispiel:
Corporate events
Spring fairs and town festivals
Open-air events and sport competitions
Catering events on terraces or in beer gardens
Seasonal events during Easter
Easter in particular is a wonderful occasion for many businesses to hold special events – from Easter brunches to spring festivals. And let’s be honest: everyone could do with a little spring after winter.

Charming branding at events

Events are a great opportunity to bring a brand to life. However, the same rule applies here: no one wants to feel like they are at an advertising space when attending an event. That is precisely why subtle brand ambassadors work so well. especially well.

Individually refined glass bottles with logos are present without being obtrusive and offer numerous possible uses:
Water bottles on tables or buffets
Part of event packages for participants
Giveaways for guests
Drinks for catering
The perfect detail for your event

Sustainability at events

Another issue that is becoming increasingly important at events is sustainability.

Many organisers are now thinking more carefully about which materials and products to use. Disposable packaging and short-lived promotional items often no longer fit in with the standards of modern events.

Glass bottles are an obvious solution here:
reusable
durable
high-quality
classic

Small details that guests notice

At events, a lot of time is often invested in major aspects: stage, catering, music, decoration. This is entirely understandable.

But it is often the little things that really catch guests’ attention.
For example, the bottle on the table.

A customised glass bottle immediately appears more sophisticated than a standard bottle from a wholesaler. It blends into the overall image of the event and also ensures that the organiser’s logo or design is visible.

And yes – a beautiful bottle can actually spark conversation.
‘They look great – where are they from?’ is something you hear more often than you might think.

Conclusion: Spring is the season for events

When temperatures start to climb, so does the desire to attend events. Spring brings people together – at company parties, gastronomic events, markets or events surrounding Easter.

And it is precisely on such occasions that the strengths of well-thought-out details become apparent.
Individually designed glass bottles combine functionality, sustainability and brand presence – and blend naturally into the overall picture of an event.

Or, to put it in other words: sometimes a successful event simply starts with a glass of water.

Water bottles with logo for the gastronomy sector
– Quality isn’t just about what’s on the plate

Exceptional. Good. Down-to-earth. Special.

When you enter the Goldenes Kreuz restaurant in Coburg or the Villa Geyerswörth in Bamberg, you immediately sense this combination of down-to-earthness and exceptional quality. And not just in the food, which is served in high-quality, aesthetically pleasing dishes.

In fact, everything in both establishments follows a clear principle: quality is in every detail.

‘What we serve our guests is carefully selected.’
And that’s exactly why – because quality doesn’t just start on the plate – the team at both restaurants also uses water from their ‘own’ bottles: individually refined glass bottles from Flaschenfreunde.

Question of detail:

Why use water bottles with logos in the hotel and restaurant industry?

While a lot of time is invested in the kitchen, furnishings and menu in the catering industry, one element often goes unnoticed – even though it is permanently in the guests’ field of vision: the water bottle on the table.

For managing director Markus Zimmer, one thing was clear:
When ingredients are selected, wines are curated and dishes are prepared, the water should not be served in just a random bottle.

Water bottles with logos for the gastronomy sector are therefore much more than just functional containers. They are part of the brand image – visible, present and in daily use. Anyone who thinks about quality down to the last detail should not compromise when it comes to water bottles either.
Discover how customised catering bottles can visibly strengthen your brand:

Why custom-printed water bottles are strategically worthwhile

For catering businesses, it is often the small, consistently implemented decisions that have a long-term effect:
Recognition among regular guests
Stronger brand presence
Overall professional impression
Sustainable use through reusability
Give your business its own unique style!
Whether it’s a restaurant with a sophisticated fine dining concept or a hotel with a clear promise of quality, your guests notice the details. Often unconsciously, but with lasting effect.

When everything fits togetherA conscious decision for individually printed bottles

The choice went to individually printed bottles with the respective logo of the establishment. No advertising message. No loud appearance.

Rather, it is a quiet statement about their own attitude.
Both restaurants use Flaschenfreunde bottles. Despite their different logos, they are the visible link between the two locations – and tell a shared story: quality is no coincidence.

Today, the bottles are a natural part of the tablescape. They blend harmoniously into the ambience, creating a sense of calm and quality, yet still catching the eye. Guests reach for them, pour themselves a glass, take photos of the table. And without explicitly analysing it, they realise that every detail has been thought of.

Especially in times when brand impact, recognition and differentiation are crucial, water bottles with logos for restaurants help to create a consistent overall image.

Our conclusion for the catering industry

Gastronomy thrives on emotions. On moments that remain in the memory because everything is just right.

It is often not the big gestures, but the small, consistently implemented decisions that make the difference.
Individually printed bottles are not just an accessory.

They are part of the overall experience – and a visible sign of your commitment to quality.

Printing drinking bottles
– Your guide to customised branded bottles

Whether as a sustainable advertising medium, employee gift or brand ambassador: having drinking bottles printed is a clever way to make your brand visible and tangible. With every sip, your logo or design conveys professionalism and style – quite incidentally.

This guide provides step-by-step instructions on what to consider when printing on drinking bottles: from selecting the right model to materials and printing techniques to optimally prepared print data.

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.
Would you like more information on print data?
We have summarised all relevant information for you in a clear and concise manner.

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.

For us, sustainability is not just a buzzword, but something we put into practice every day. With custom-printed reusable bottles, you not only showcase your brand, but also send a clear message about your environmental awareness.

At Flaschenfreunde, we make sure that your bottles are durable, recyclable and made from high-quality materials. Over 80% of our value creation also takes place regionally, within a radius of around 20 kilometres – short distances, less CO₂ and a contribution to the local economy.

This means that your printed drinking bottles not only become daily brand ambassadors, but also a visible statement for sustainability.

From an idea to a guarantor of success:

The PRODINGER branded bottle

Sometimes it’s the small things that make a big difference. A bottle, for example. In 2022, in the midst of a comprehensive brand relaunch, the PRODINGER Group chose a powerful symbol: each of its approximately 570 employees received a high-quality glass bottle featuring the new logo.

Today, three years later, this decision has proven to be much more than just a short hype. The bottles are in constant use – and still as popular as they were on the first day.

Which bottle suits your company?
Browse our shop and find the perfect bottle for your individual project:

Quality that still impresses today.

The feedback from the company ‘s employees will speak for itself:

We were particularly impressed by the high quality and modern design of the bottles from Flaschenfreunde. The logo on the bottle is well applied, so that even three years later, it has not peeled off at all. We also appreciate the good value for money. We also received lots of replacement caps with our order. However, our employees have rarely requested them so far, as they too are designed to be durable. What’s more, they fit perfectly under our water dispensers at our locations throughout Germany.”

What makes us particularly happy is that the bottles were not only well accepted, but are still as popular today as they were on the first day. This is not a short-lived trend, but a genuine example of sustainability.

Employees turn the bottle into a brand

The PRODINGER Group brought the launch of the bottles to life. A creative appeal was launched in the internal staff magazine ‘Ausgepackt’: photos, selfies and statements about the new branded bottle. The response? Enthusiastic!

A few comments from the team:
The PRODINGER branded bottle is always with me. Here on the Main Cycle Route near Karlstadt, close to Würzburg. Just right when you’re out on your bike at the beginning of August.

Sustainability meets brand identity

The PRODINGER bottle impressively demonstrates how powerful the combination of quality, design and function can be:

Durability: Still in perfect condition even after three years.
Functionality: Fits perfectly under the water dispensers at all locations.
Brand experience: Daily reminder of the successful brand relaunch.

Our conclusion

We are proud to be part of this project – and even prouder that it has lost none of its impact after all this time.

We enjoyed working with Flaschenfreunde and would be happy to collaborate with them again on similar projects in the future. Many thanks!

Such projects prove that: A bottle is not just a bottle. It can be a piece of brand, identity and motivation.

At Energiequelle GmbH, it's quite a lot!

Drink in style, think sustainably –

Corporate design bottles as a winning formula

Sustainability takes centre stage at Energiequelle GmbH – as a project developer for renewable energies, the company is actively driving forward the energy transition and focussing on wind farms and photovoltaic systems. But the company also thinks about the environment on a small scale: reusable bottles in the corporate design are more than just a nice corporate gift here and stand for appreciation, team spirit and a corporate culture that moves with the times.
In our interview with the company, which not only supplies new energy sources but also real eye-catchers, you can find out why these bottles are a major attraction both at trade fairs and in everyday office life and how Energiequelle combines sustainability and style.

Sustainability meets team spirit:

How do personalised bottles play a role in your strategy to retain employees and promote a healthy working environment?

‘In general, we rely on various items in our corporate online shop that our employees like to use/wear and that also have a certain recognition value for outsiders. We are also pleased when our employees feel comfortable and enjoy using the items. A robust and reusable bottle not only has a practical use, it is also sustainable and looks stylish – what could be better?’

Environmental awareness as a corporate philosophy:

What importance does sustainability have for your company, and how do our reusable bottles fit in with your goals in this area?

‘We are a project developer and operator in the renewable energy sector. Sustainability is important to us simply because of our business. Wind farms and photovoltaic systems stand for a sustainable energy supply. We are also EMAS-certified and prove this year after year. We have made a conscious commitment to continuously improving our environmental performance and involve all employees in this. Sustainability is therefore a major issue and the reusable bottles from Flaschenfreunde fit perfectly into our corporate DNA.’

Healthy working made easy:

How do you promote the topic of ‘healthy working’ and how do our bottles support this concept, for example by drinking regularly?

‘In 2024, we achieved 1st place in the Corporate Health Award, among other things. Particularly noteworthy is the increased focus on addiction prevention and the successful introduction of company integration management (BEM). We also organise a health day every two years. We also organise our popular annual beach volleyball tournament with employees and customers. With all these topics, you need something to drink.

Being honoured with the Corporate Health Award motivates us to continue encouraging a healthy and supportive working environment. Of course, we also offer our employees a generous supply of vitamin C in the form of fruit baskets. A nice bottle to drink your water from not only looks good, but also strengthens the immune system. Sometimes it’s better to swap the water for the third cup of free coffee – even if the coffee is our favourite!’

Sustainable promotion products with impact:

How important are sustainable advertising materials such as our bottles to you, also in comparison to classic products? What role does the signalling effect towards employees and customers play?

‘Our employees consciously work for us and actively support the energy transition themselves by taking part in climate strikes and city cycling, among other things. Some of them therefore specifically want sustainable corporate merchandise – and that’s exactly what we attach great importance to. That’s why we pay attention to where all products are manufactured and which materials and printing processes are used.’

Design meets enthusiasm:

Have you received feedback on the bottles from your employees and visitors at trade fairs that you can share with us? Do you see this as having a positive influence on the commitment or perception of your company?

‘We have received consistently positive feedback on the bottles at recruitment fairs. The bottles have proved to be a popular and eye-catching giveaway at trade fairs. They are not an everyday goodie and have been very well received by interested parties. Our employees also love the shape, design and capacity of the bottles. The item is one of our bestsellers in our ‘in-house’ shop.’

The cold season brings a longing for warming drinks. Whether it’s hot tea, flavoursome mulled wine or aromatic hot chocolate – a hot liquid not only warms the body, but also the soul.
At Flaschenfreunde, we know that borosilicate glass bottles are perfect for transporting hot drinks safely and stylishly. But to ensure that drinking is not only practical, but also safe and enjoyable, special bottle sleeves are a must-have.

Protecting glass bottles effectively

Protective sleeves for glass bottles are an essential accessory for anyone who wants to enjoy their favourite drinks on the go. Whether travelling to work, on a walk or during outdoor activities – a high-quality protective sleeve ensures that hot and cold drinks are transported safely and comfortably. These practical sleeves offer protection against heat, increase resistance to breaking and improve thermal insulation. At the same time, they give your bottle a personalised style and make it more comfortable to use.

Even though borosilicate glass insulates heat well, the surface can become uncomfortably warm with very hot liquids. A sleeve protects your hands from getting burnt and makes them more comfortable to hold.
Resistance to breaking
A bottle can easily be dropped, especially when you’re on the go or putting it down on slippery surfaces. A sleeve absorbs shocks and reduces the risk of breaking.
Heat isolation
A high-quality sleeve keeps the heat in the bottle for longer, so you can enjoy your tea or coffee hot.
Individual style
Sleeves are not only practical, but also fashionable. Whether plain-coloured, with patterns or logos – they give your bottle a personal touch.

The best choice for hot drinks during the cold season – heat-resistant, durable and resistant

Borosilicate glass bottles

The days are getting shorter, temperatures are dropping and autumn is gradually arriving. With the cooler months, the desire for warm drinks increases again: whether hot tea, flavoured coffee or a spicy chai latte – they are now our constant companions. During this time, choosing the right drinking bottle plays a decisive role.
A borosilicate glass bottle is the ideal solution here, as it not only keeps your drink at the perfect temperature, but also impresses with its durability and environmental protection. But that’s not all – discover now why borosilicate glass bottles will be your best friend, especially in the cold season!

What is borosilicate glass?

Borosilicate glass is a special type of glass that is characterised by its high heat resistance and chemical resilience. Compared to standard commercial glass (soda-lime glass), borosilicate glass has a crystalline structure, which gives it increased stability at a lower weight. This special composition makes it less susceptible to temperature fluctuations and mechanical stress.

The advantages of borosilicate glass bottles

Borosilicate glass bottles offer a number of decisive advantages over other materials such as plastic, stainless steel or conventional glass:
High heat resistance
A major advantage of borosilicate glass is its heat resistance. Unlike conventional glass, it can withstand sudden changes in temperature and is suitable for both hot and cold drinks without cracking. Ideal for people looking for a versatile and robust bottle.
Environmentally friendly and sustainable
Borosilicate glass is completely recyclable and contains no harmful substances. Many people consciously choose glass bottles in order to reduce plastic consumption and contribute to environmental protection. A long-lasting borosilicate bottle replaces countless single-use plastic bottles and thus significantly reduces the environmental impact.
Flavour-neutral and hygienic
Borosilicate glass does not absorb odours or flavours. Unlike plastic bottles, which can develop unpleasant odours after a certain time, borosilicate glass remains neutral in taste. This means that both fresh lemon juice and tea always taste as they should. The material is also easy to clean, which makes it more hygienic.
Highly break-resistant
Thanks to its special composition, borosilicate glass is more resistant to mechanical stress than ordinary glass. Nevertheless, glass remains more sensitive than plastic or stainless steel. It is therefore advisable to use the bottles with a protective sleeve made of silicone or neoprene to protect them from knocks and scratches.

Heat resistance: more than just an advertising promise

A common reason why many customers choose borosilicate glass bottles is their heat resistance. Whether boiling hot tea or cold water – the bottles can withstand extreme temperatures without any problems. This property is particularly important if the bottles are to be used regularly for hot drinks. Conventional glass could crack at such high temperatures, whereas borosilicate glass distributes the heat evenly and withstands temperature fluctuations without damage.

The bottles are designed to withstand temperature fluctuations from -20°C to +150°C. This means that they can be safely cleaned in the dishwasher or stored in the fridge without having to worry about possible damage.
Glass bottles with sleeves on a tree trunk

Protection against damage – why a sleeve makes sense:

Shock protection: a well-padded sleeve made of silicone, neoprene or fabric acts like a protective cover and absorbs minor impacts that could otherwise lead to scratches or cracks in the glass.

Improved grip: A sleeve provides additional grip and prevents the bottle from slipping out of your hands, which is particularly helpful during strenuous activities such as sports or outdoor adventures.

Heat and cold protection: Some sleeves also have an insulating effect and help to keep the temperature of your drinks stable for longer – hot drinks stay warm, cold drinks stay refreshingly cool.

Individuality and style: In addition to the practical benefits, a stylish sleeve also provides an appealing look and gives your bottle a personal touch.
To summarise: borosilicate glass bottles are the perfect everyday companion
Borosilicate glass bottles combine many advantages: they are hygienic, environmentally friendly, neutral in flavour and extremely heat-resistant. If you are looking for durable and versatile drinking bottles for employees, guests or customers, a borosilicate glass bottle is the perfect choice. In combination with a protective sleeve, the bottle becomes a robust companion for all occasions – whether for a morning coffee or a refreshing drink after a workout.

Now is the time to find the right borosilicate glass bottle for you. Discover our borosilicate glass models in the 0.5 or 1 litre version as well as our wavelength with a capacity of 0.5 or 0.75 litres.

Plastic in your water? No, thanks!

In a world where environmental awareness and sustainability are becoming increasingly important, it is now essential to find alternatives to single-use plastic. Particularly alarming are the results of a recent study published by the University of Columbia in the USA, which shows that bottled water contains more plastic particles than we can imagine.

These findings have reignited the debate around plastic bottles and once again clearly show the urgency of more environmentally friendly solutions

About the study: Nanoplastics in bottled water

Let’s start with the result: bottled water is much more contaminated with plastic than previously assumed. The research team, led by Naixin Qian, discovered an average of 240,000 plastic fragments per litre of water, which significantly exceeds previous estimates.

But how is this possible?
The extent of the problem was not apparent in earlier studies, as nanoplastics had never been specifically searched for before. However, the use of newly developed measurement and calculation technology has now enabled the researchers to specifically search for plastic particles in the nanometre range.

Three of the most common water brands in the USA were tested, and between 110,000 and 370,000 plastic fragments per litre were found. Of these, 90 % were nano-plastics and 10 % micro-plastics.
Surprisingly, the majority of the nanoplastics found did not consist of the usual PET plastic, but mainly of polyamide.

It is currently only possible to make assumptions about how the polyamide gets into the water. The researchers assume that the plastic finds its way into the water through the use of plastic membranes during the treatment and filtering process.

Glass bottles to reduce the intake of plastic particles

Glass bottles are a much healthier and more environmentally friendly solution than plastic bottles and also offer numerous other advantages:

1. no leaching of chemicals: In contrast to plastic bottles, glass bottles do not release any chemical substances into drinks, as glass is inert and does not interact with the contents.

2. no microplastic contamination: glass bottles do not release microplastic particles and therefore do not contribute to the absorption of microplastics into the body, as can be the case with plastic bottles.

3. no change in smell or taste: glass retains the taste and aroma of drinks better than plastic as it does not absorb or release odours.

4. durability and reusability: glass bottles are durable, can be used again and again and are easy to clean, which promotes their environmental friendliness and economic efficiency.

5. eco-friendliness: Glass is a 100% recyclable material and can be recycled an infinite number of times without any loss of quality. The use of glass bottles reduces the consumption of single-use plastic and minimises the environmental impact.
Set an example for health and environmental protection in your company!

Have glass drinking bottles printed with your logo now and offer your employees a healthier alternative to plastic bottles.
Together we can encourage a sustainable working environment.

Flaschenfreunde at the BrauBeviale 2023

Today we would like to take another look back at BrauBeviale 2023, because messe.tv recently published a really interesting article about us.
BrauBeviale took place from 28 to 30 November 2023 in Nuremberg and we were represented as an exhibitor together with RRauh and had a lot of interesting discussions during these 3 days.
The team from messe.tv also visited us at our stand and we had the opportunity to talk a little about us, our values, history and mission.

This resulted in a really interesting video report, which was recently published. It’s worth watching!

The ideal gift for employees on Green Friday!

Sustainable drinking bottles

Black Friday is often characterised by mass consumption and short-term offers.
But what if we opted for a Green Friday instead?
We attach great importance to long-term values, sustainable consumption and conscious decisions,
which is why this year we have deliberately opted for Green Friday instead of Black Friday.
Green Friday represents a more conscious, sustainable approach to shopping.
Instead of getting carried away by impulsive bargain hunts, we should think about
how our choices affect the environment.
The focus is on long-term benefits, quality and respectful use of resources.

Glass drinking bottles as perfect accessories

In this context, sustainable glass drinking bottles are not only environmentally friendly, but also practical and stylish. The use of reusable glass reduces plastic waste and helps to promote personal and planetary health.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) through customised design
For companies looking for unique gifts for their employees, customised drinking bottles offer the perfect solution. Customised with the company logo and corporate design, these bottles become ambassadors of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Employees not only feel valued, but also proudly wear a symbol of their shared commitment to sustainability.

In our configurator, you can individually design and personalise various bottle models with your logo and corporate design.

Why are glass drinking bottles an ideal gift for your employees?
Eco-friendly

Glass drinking bottles are a sustainable alternative to single-use plastic bottles. The use of glass reduces the need for single-use packaging, which leads to a lower environmental impact and reduces the carbon footprint.

Conclusion:

Green Friday is not just about giving up quick deals, but also about conscious consumption. Sustainable drinking bottles are not only environmentally friendly, but also ideal gifts for employees. They represent a commitment to sustainable values and encourage a connection between the company and environmental awareness.
