Sunday's custom water bottles start from a minimum order of around 10 to 25 pieces. Pricing does not fall dramatically with volume because the base bottle price is stable and only decoration setup spreads across units. All decoration is dishwasher-safe, with laser engraving the most durable. Bottles work best for onboarding, events with refill stations and sports or wellness activations, and less well as generic broad gifts.
Bottles are a product most buyers already understand, so the questions tend to be practical: how few can we order, why the price spread, which decoration lasts, and where bottles actually make sense. Here are the answers. To see your logo on a real bottle with live pricing, open the free water bottle mockup generator, or browse the full range of custom water bottles.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for custom water bottles?
From around 10 to 25 pieces at Sunday, depending on the bottle. The low floor suits small teams, pilots and single events, so you can validate a bottle before a wider rollout.
How much do custom water bottles cost?
It depends on five factors: bottle type, branded vs unbranded, single-wall vs insulated, decoration method and design complexity. A simple unbranded plastic bottle can sit near 5 euro, while a premium insulated branded bottle can reach around 40 euro. See the bulk and pricing guide for the full breakdown.
Do custom water bottles get cheaper in bulk?
Not dramatically. Unlike apparel, the base bottle price stays fairly stable across volumes. Only the one-off decoration setup spreads across more units, so ordering becomes more efficient around 50 to 100 bottles, but the saving is moderate.
Why does one bottle cost 5 euro and another 40 euro?
Two factors: brand and insulation. A premium recognised name adds gifting value, and double-wall insulated construction holds temperature far longer and costs more to make.
Are insulated water bottles worth it?
Only where temperature matters. A double-wall insulated bottle keeps drinks cold for 12 to 24 hours, ideal in heat or for hot drinks. For desk users who just want tap water, a single-wall aluminium or stainless bottle is the leaner, cheaper choice.
Should we choose printing or laser engraving?
Pick by the look. Laser engraving is the most durable and gives a subtle premium finish, but no colour. Printing allows a coloured logo, expressive design and wrap-around art. All Sunday decoration is dishwasher-safe, so the choice is about appearance, not durability.
Are custom water bottles dishwasher-safe?
Yes. All Sunday bottle decoration techniques are dishwasher-safe. Laser engraving in particular survives frequent washing and rubbing without fading.
What materials are available?
Plastic and Tritan for affordable one-off use, aluminium and stainless steel for durable office and gifting use, plus recycled options. Premium recognised brands such as Ocean Bottle are available where the bottle is the central gift.
Should the bottle be a recognised brand?
Only when it is the central gift, where the name adds real perceived value. For onboarding kits, event kits and broad campaigns, a quality unbranded bottle is usually the better commercial call and can match the build.
When are custom water bottles a good idea?
Best for onboarding and welcome kits, events with refill stations or public fountains, and sports or wellness activations, where they solve a real need. They work less well as a generic broad gift, since most recipients already own several.
Are custom water bottles sustainable?
They can be, when a durable reusable bottle replaces single-use plastic and genuinely gets used for years. Avoid over-repetition. Nobody needs dozens of branded bottles, so give them where there is a real need.
How long does an order take?
Plan for a few weeks rather than a few days once artwork is approved, with extra buffer for premium or imported bottles. Sunday handles warehousing and global distribution, including split delivery to individual employees.
