Printed Water Bottles in as Little as 48 Hours

Short answer: our fastest turnaround on branded water bottles is 48 hours from artwork approval, and our standard turnaround is 7 to 9 working days.

The clock starts when you approve your free visual proof, so the quicker your artwork and approval come through, the sooner your bottles go into production. Not every bottle and branding option can be turned around in 48 hours, so tell us your date when you enquire and your dedicated Account Manager will show you exactly which options can meet it.

If your date is slightly further away, standard turnaround gives you the full choice of materials, sizes, colours and branding methods, and it can cost less than express.

Last Minute Water Bottles for Events and Launches

Express printed water bottles are made for dates that simply cannot move:

• Trade shows and exhibitions. A bottle on the stand gets picked up, carried around the hall and taken home to be used time and time again.
• Conferences and corporate events. A practical addition to delegate bags and welcome packs.
• Product launches. Branded bottles for launch packs, press kits and staff on the day.
• Fun runs, races and sports days. Bottles for every runner, volunteer and team. Our guide to bulk event t-shirt printing covers the rest of the event kit, and our sports and events page shows more.
• Schools, colleges and universities. Open days, freshers' fairs and leavers. See our education page.
• Charity fundraisers. Bottles for supporters and challenge events. See our charity printing page.
• Staff onboarding and wellbeing. Welcome packs for new starters and hydration on long shifts.
• Agency campaigns. Fast turnaround for client briefs that land late. See our marketing agencies page.

The Quickest Bottles to Order

Short answer: popular bottles in standard colours are usually the quickest, and plastic, Tritan and aluminium bottles suit most express orders.

Bottle	Best for	Express tip
Plastic sports bottles	Events, gyms, fun runs and giveaways in volume	Standard colours with a one colour logo are usually the fastest option
Tritan bottles	Offices, gyms and everyday use	A tough, clear bottle that suits a simple one or two colour logo
Aluminium bottles	Staff gifts, schools and outdoor events	Light and durable, with a premium feel for a fast order
Insulated stainless steel	Client gifts, commuters and site teams	Popular colours keep the fastest options open
Glass bottles	Offices, wellbeing packs and retail	Allow a little more time if you want a bamboo lid or a special finish
Recycled bottles	Sustainability campaigns and eco ranges	Tell us your date early, as choice can be narrower

Most styles are available in 500ml, 750ml and 1 litre, with screw cap, flip top and sports lid options. Our branded water bottles page showcases the full range, from everyday plastic to insulated flasks, and our guide to sustainable promotional merchandise covers greener choices.

The Quickest Ways to Brand a Bottle

Short answer: a one colour logo in a single position is usually the quickest, and digital printing suits full colour logos because there are no screens to set up.

Method	Best for	Express tip
Screen printing	Bold one or two colour logos	One colour in one position keeps set up to a minimum
Pad printing	Small, crisp logos and fine detail on curved surfaces	A good choice for small logos in one or two colours
Digital printing	Full colour logos, photographs and gradients	No screens to set up, so full colour artwork can move quickly
Engraving	A permanent, premium finish on metal bottles	Ask about timings, as engraving suits gifts with a little more lead time
360 degree printing or engraving	Designs that wrap all the way around the bottle	Allow extra time, as wraparound designs take longer to set up

Not sure which method suits your logo? Send it over with your date and our team will recommend the quickest option that still looks great.

How to Get Your Bottles on Time

• Tell us your date first. The date you need the bottles in your hands decides which options are open, so put it in your first message.
• Send vectored artwork. An AI, EPS, PDF or SVG file saves time, and a high quality PNG or JPG is fine to start with.
• Keep it simple. A one colour logo in one position is the quickest to set up.
• Choose a popular bottle. Standard stocked colours and sizes keep the fastest options open.
• Approve your proof quickly. You get a free visual proof within 30 minutes of your order being confirmed, and the clock starts when you approve it.
• Confirm the delivery address. Give us the exact address, contact name, contact phone number and any delivery times for venues or exhibition halls.
• Set up your account early. A credit account with 30 or 60 day terms means payment never holds an order up. Apply through our client registration page.

Why Branded Water Bottles Work

Badly chosen giveaways are used once and forgotten, making them a waste of money. A reusable bottle is refilled every day, carried on the commute, taken to the gym and left on the work desk, so your logo stays in view for months. Because it replaces bottled water and disposable cups, a branded bottle also supports your sustainability goals, and our eco friendly merchandise range brings together more green options. For more ideas, see our guide to the most popular promotional merchandise.

Final Thoughts

A tight deadline does not have to mean settling for less. Choose a popular bottle, keep the logo simple, send print ready artwork and approve your proof quickly, and express printed water bottles can be turned around in as little as 48 hours. If you have more time, standard turnaround opens up the full range of bottles and branding.
