How to Pick the Right Design
-
Size & placement – Small, simple designs suit smaller bottles; larger artwork or wrap layouts shine on Sport 64oz or Can Coolers.
-
Line weight & simplicity – Bold lines etch cleaner; ultra-fine details can blur on curved surfaces.
-
Contrast & finish – Etching removes the color coat to reveal the stainless beneath. Darker finishes usually give higher contrast; very light/pastel/white finishes produce a softer, subtler mark.
-
Orientation & symmetry – Centered text and balanced icons feel intentional. Always check the live preview before finalizing.
Personalization Options
Each template can support one or more:
-
Line 1 – Name, initials, or short word
-
Line 2 – Optional number, date, or phrase
-
Icon slot – Choose from our curated icon set or leave blank
-
Stacked layout – Great for short text and bold readability
-
Jersey style – number and name layout styled like a sports jersey; great for team gifts, athletes, and personalised fan bottles.
Design Guidelines
-
Use simple, bold designs; avoid ultra-thin hairlines.
-
Upload only artwork you own rights to (or are licensed to use).
-
Laser etching is single-color (no gradients or photos).
-
Placement zones vary by model/size; the customizer tool will guide you.

Daily cue – “Drink. Refill. Repeat.” or your daily step-count goal.

-
Giftable – Name and date for weddings, graduations, or first marathons.
-
Wellness mantra – “Hydrate & Move” or “Small Sips, Big Wins.”
