See why custom Nalgenes make some of the best easy-to-brand picks for your corporate merch needs.
Benefits of Creating Custom-Branded Nalgenes
There are many reasons companies gravitate toward custom Nalgene products, and that’s in addition to their water bottle’s friendly price point and unlimited ways to customize and show off your branding!
Increased Brand Visibility
Custom Nalgene water bottles are an easy win for companies looking to market their brand! Nalgene bottles come in a wide range of sizes from 12 to 48 ounces and shapes that accommodate any activity from lock tops and narrow mouth designs to wide mouth styles that are perfect for adding ice.
So what do those things have to do with your brand visibility? For starters, they offer a convenient way for your recipient to stay hydrated on the go. Plus, thanks to their lightweight design and easy portability, they are perfect for accompanying them anywhere from walks, hikes, and other activities to commutes and more. And, from a company’s standpoint, this is great news since wherever they go, so does your brand!
Long-Lasting Promotional Item
While there are some occasions where it makes sense to invest in items with a short lifespan—for example, tasty branded treats and candies are epic when it comes to easy giveaways at conference booths or snack baskets for client gifts, however, for the best marketing, products recipients can enjoy on repeat have more staying power.
That said, you’ll want to invest in quality items that are made to last. Nalgene bottles and containers offer a BPA-free, durable design that’s perfect for a lifetime of adventures. And, because Nalgene drinkware and containers are all BPA/BPS-Free, your recipients can feel confident when using them.
Environmentally friendly
For over 70 years Nalgene has been creating reusable water bottles which have kept millions of single-use plastic bottles out of landfills and oceans. Today, 100% of all Nalgene custom water bottles and containers are derived from 50% recycled content and certified by the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification system!
For companies whose mission includes sustainability, a custom Nalgene bottle is a great swag offering to help highlight their commitment.
Versatility
While some name-brand water bottles seem to cost a small fortune, Nalgene offers a superior product at a great price! While they make a fun summer swag item, they also make a terrific all-season promotional product. And, when it comes to creating Nalgene custom water bottles for your company there are endless ways you can distribute them.
