Inkwell’s Top Promotional Drinkware Picks
Custom drinkware with a logo does more than gather dust at the back of a cupboard. People use them at home, at work, at the gym or on vacation. They present plenty of opportunities to spark thought and conversation about your brand. But which option is best? Here, we pick the top of the promotional drinkware crop:
Custom Tumblers for Businesses
In 2023, the humble Stanley Tumbler became a social media sensation. The #StanleyTumbler views on TikTok skyrocketed to over 1 billion views. With Stanley releasing new tumblers in 2025, the hype will continue. Imagine a client’s delight at receiving a Stanley Tumbler in their favorite color. Aligning with this iconic brand lends extra credibility to yours.
Inkwell has top-quality tumblers in various shapes, sizes and colors to boost your brand. Personalized 12-ounce tumblers offer a more compact branding opportunity. Sleek, stainless steel wine tumblers ooze elegance, while tumblers with straws offer convenient sipping on the go. Opt for higher-volume striking swag with creative Koozie® tumblers. Available in a range of eye-catching colors, people will ask recipients, “Where did you get that?”
Tumblers are often confused with travel mugs. While they share similarities like insulation and materials, mugs have handles. Tumblers lack handles but may come with straws, whereas travel mugs only have lids.
Promotional Water Bottles
Considering the average daily water intake ranges from 11.5 to 15.5 cups, water bottles never go out of style. Promotional water bottles are hydration heroes. These products quench your customers’ thirst while providing a refreshing brand reminder. Inkwell offers a diverse range of branded bottles. You can find everything from budget-savvy conference handouts to premium corporate gifts.
You can also join the Owala or YETI trend. Owala water bottles are consumer favorites for their easy use, unique colors and leakproof design. Yeti’s BPA-free bottles combine durability and comfort. These well-known brands can elevate yours with a high-quality logo or message. Partnering with merchandising experts like Inkwell allows access to global products.
Custom Logo Mugs
Who doesn’t love a good cup of Joe? Drive Research found that three in four Americans drink coffee daily, while 36% drink three to five cups a day. That’s a lot of chances for customers or clients to see your brand logo. Customers will associate your brand with the comfort of their favorite coffee or tea. The possibilities are endless.
Whatever your brand values and identity, you can find a mug to match:
- Sustainability: For eco-conscious businesses, bamboo, cork or recycled stainless steel mugs represent your sustainability values. Environmentally friendly mugs even have a 100% recycled handle, lid and straw. A percentage of the proceeds on certain products go to Water.org, a nonprofit foundation that brings water and sanitation to impoverished areas.
- Freedom: Travel mugs let customers take their beverage on the road, on vacation or to the campsite. Many offer vacuum insulation to maintain the perfect drinking temperature for hot or cold drinks.
- Sentiment: Mugs that sit on a desk or countertop can create a feeling of familiarity. Connect customers to your brand by adding a logo, motivational saying or emotive graphic to a simple ceramic mug.
- Creativity: For creative agencies or fun-centric businesses, color-changing mugs add a touch of magic. A planter mug puts a spin on a traditional coffee mug. When it comes to creativity, the possibilities are limitless!
