Custom bottled water is an easy way to give total strangers access to information about your organization.  You can buy bottles of water from a grocery store, remove the generic paper labels, and then apply our self-adhesive labels onto the blank bottles.  Now you have your information on something people will use and appreciate!

This is an especially effective way to reach large numbers of people at local fairs, farmer’s markets, and events.  If it’s a hot day, people will be drawn to your bottled water display (especially if the bottles are chilled!) like bears to honey.  They stop by, chat with you for a bit, and then leave with a bottle of water, the label of which contains information they’ll take with them.

We love supporting non-profits, and are happy to offer non-profit rates.  Just give us a call and we’re happy to share those rates with you!

Take advantage of the sunny summer weather by hitting the streets with cold bottles of water!  Save the citizenry from dehydration and spread the word about your cause, all in one masterful stroke!

Dinosaurs are awesome.  Huge and exotic, they can captivate a roomful of children like nobody’s business.  That’s why we designed our adorable “Dinosaur Duo” water bottle label: to help you harness the fun of dinosaurs!

The great thing about dinosaurs is that they’re not specifically a boy or a girl thing, everyone likes them!  You can throw a dinosaur birthday party for a little girl, a little boy, or both: the only thing that’s for certain is that everyone will have fun!

The same kind of idea applies to this label design.  You can use this design to customize the bottled water at your party, or apply the design to custom labels and have custom birthday stickers with cute dinosaurs on them.  You could use these custom stickers to seal birthday party favor bags, or even just throw a couple into each bag for the kids to play with later.

This design isn’t limited to birthday parties, either.  Imagine how adorable this design would look at a charity golf tournament to benefit a children’s hospital!  You could hand out personalized bottled water bearing this design, or even turn the design into a bumper sticker and hand out custom bumper stickers instead.

Much like the dinosaurs themselves, the possibilities for how you can use this label design are huge!

We’ve been praising the merits of personalized promotional bottles of water for years now, but it always helps when outside authorities on the subject agree!  Media Life Magazine recently published an article called “Your Client’s Logo on a Water Bottle” endorsing the practice of using custom label bottled water to spread the word about your company and make coupon offers more effective.

Some of the highlights of the article include:

“…after completing an inspection, an auto shop could place a complimentary bottle of water in the cup holder of the customer’s car, with a label coupon for a discounted oil change on the next visit.”

“Top venues for water-bottle giveaways include hospitals, meetings and conventions, trade shows, spas and resorts, golf courses and colleges.”

“In addition to coupons, labels can also include a call-to-action prompting the consumer to text a code to a particular number in exchange for a special offer.”

We’ve been helping companies create high-quality promotional bottled water for over seven years.  Our new Design Online tool makes it easy to upload logos and graphics to water bottle labels, and our purified spring water is delicious and safe.

We always get so excited when someone at our company gets married, has a baby, or celebrates a birthday because it means we get to see our products used firsthand!  One of the lovely ladies in our office recently had a baby, and as you can see in the photo above she put our mini water bottles to good use at her shower!

It was a lot of fun to watch the women at the baby shower milling around, chatting and playing games with these bottles sitting convenient right next to them.  The small size was great, because it gave the women at the shower the ability to juggle plates of food, purses, and their drinks without spilling anything.

There was also a beautiful little girl at the shower, and she felt very special indeed to have her very own bottle that was just the right size for her wee little hands.  The 8 oz bottle size is just the right size for grown-ups and little kids alike!

Custom label bottled water is stylish, a natural addition to baby showers.  You can match the colors of your label to the décor of your shower, so that while your guests walk around it’s like the decorations get to mingle right along with them!

What they did was to write short bits of trivia about them as a couple on each label design, and I’d be willing to bet guests had a great time looking for all the facts at the reception!  The thing I love about this idea is that it’s so personalized and fun.  What better way to help everyone who comes to your wedding feel included than by giving them little tidbits about your life as a couple?

They ultimately did six designs in all, check out our favorites below! (Click on the image to make it larger)

Ways you can use this idea in your own wedding:

• Order the same label design but include a different tidbit on each sheet of labels.  Share bits of trivia about how you met, hobbies and interests, how you got engaged, honeymoon plans, etc.
• Use trivia answers to build a wedding crossword guests can fill out before the ceremony starts or during the reception.
• Place one bottle at each place setting at your reception, and give each place setting a bottle with a different trivia fact on it.  What a fun way to get a conversation going at each table!

If you have any questions about designing labels like this for your own event, just let us know.  We’re happy to listen to what you have in mind and help you bring it to life!  Thanks so much to Brett and Abby for letting us feature their labels!

Here are some tips to help you stay cool:

1. The number one most important thing to remember about staying cool is to stay hydrated.  Most people can stay healthy and reasonably cool so long as they’re drinking plenty of cold water.  Stay away from sugary or caffeinated drinks, as those will dehydrate you!  If you’re planning an event this summer, make sure to stock up on cold water for your participants; it’s the best way to ensure everyone feels great and has fun.  We offer personalized spring water with bright, eye-catching labels, so if you want to put a little pizazz in your event, this is a great option for you!
2. Have fun with your food.  Buy a cucumber and stick it in the refrigerator.  Once it’s cold, slice it thin and then apply the cucumber slices to your eyes, your forehead, and cheeks.  Relax, sip a cold beverage, and maybe snack on a little cucumber salad.  You’ll feel like royalty!
3. Wrap ice cubes in a washcloth and hold it on pressure points.  Hold it between your wrists, behind your neck, and on your cheeks and forehead and before you know it you’ll feel like a new person!
4. Eat cold food.  Snack on some ice cream, have a salad, drink a smoothie, anything cold that passes between your lips will help cool you down.
5. Be strategic about your windows.  Draw the shades and shut the blinds and curtains during the day to keep the sunlight from heating up your house.  Then, when the temperature outside is cooler than the temperature inside, open your windows and blinds and let that cool night air inside.  Your house might not be as cool as it would be with air conditioning, but it’ll stay cooler than it would be with the windows open!

What about you?  Do you have any tips or tricks for surviving the swelter?

Beaches are natural locations for parties, because there’s a little something for everybody.  Playing in the water, hitting a volleyball around, or even just lazing around and taking in the view, no matter who you invite it’s bound to be a good time.  If you’re one of the lucky few who lives close to the beach, take advantage!  Beach parties are perfect for birthdays, holidays, or just about any other occasion!

Here are some beach party ideas to spark your creativity:

• Shelter.  Beaches don’t tend to offer a lot of shade naturally, so pack up a folding canopy or some umbrellas.  Someone will inevitably forget to put on sunscreen and will appreciate the shade like you wouldn’t believe!
• Cold drinks.  Beaches get hot, and there’s nothing worse than being parched and stuck without anything to drink!  Pack a cooler or two with ice and load it up beverages.  If you’re feeling extra fancy, use custom labels to spice up your beverages.  How cute would the water label featured above look on some water bottles sitting on the beach?!  Don’t worry, all our labels will withstand water and ice without smearing or falling off.
• Seating.  Sure, sitting on the sand is fine, but pack along some chairs as well for those who don’t want to or have difficulty sitting on the ground.
• Ice.  Don’t fall victim to food poisoning!  Keep all your food properly refrigerated by bringing along lots of ice.  Beach parties are fun, botulism isn’t.
• Activities.  Bring a volleyball net, some sports balls, and wood for a bonfire if you have a pit nearby.  By making sure there’s a variety of activities, you’ll insure your guests don’t get bored, though who can possibly get bored on the beach?

We have some really wonderful summery designs for water, wine, and beer.  Nuptial H2O, Adventurous Red, and Four Star are all perfect for summer, with bright colors that will really pop on the beach.  As far as beach party ideas go, this is a pretty original one!  Just stick on our fully adhesive labels, throw them into a cooler, and have fun!

A wonderful way to go the extra mile in making your guests comfortable is the out of town bag or basket (a.k.a. The OOT Bag).  These bags, or baskets, are placed in each out of town guest’s room and supplies them with a few personal touches they may need or want throughout your wedding festivities.  Here are some suggestions to help get you started on creating OOT Bag for your own guests:

• Pain relievers.  Advil, aspirin, ibuprofen, any of these will be welcomed by any guest that suffers a headache or muscle sprain.  You can buy single serving packets of these from Target or any drug store and you can bet your guests will appreciate them!
• Shout Wipes.  There’s nothing like an untimely stain to ruin the perfect wedding outfit!  If you throw some single serving Shout Wipes into your OOT Bags, you could potentially save someone’s favorite outfit!
• Snacks. You can really get creative with this one.  Choose snacks that are special to your area or particular favorites of the bride and groom.  Guests will love this custom touch and yummy food!
• Welcome letter/schedule.  Take some time to personally thank your guests for taking such a long trip to come see you.  This is a wonderful way to start the festivities out in a custom, grateful way.  Include a schedule of festivities, along with a map, to insure your guests know where to be and when.
• Personalized bottled water.  Coordinate the label with your wedding colors and theme.  Not only will this help set the tone of your celebration for your guests, it’ll also provide the added benefit of giving them something to drink that isn’t ridiculously expensive hotel bottled water!

You can buy inexpensive baskets from Michael’s and customize them with a ribbon or fabric that matches your wedding decorations, or buy color-coordinated totes from any wedding favor retailer.  With a few minutes of effort, you’ll make a huge impression on your out of town guests and make them feel truly welcomed.

Sounds like a win-win situation, doesn’t it?

A fun way to take care of a vital necessity (plenty of clean drinking water) while reinforcing the togetherness aspect of the reunion is to use customized bottled water.  We’ve seen hundreds of customers order personalized water labels for family reunions and we love the idea.  It’s a really neat way to identify the people at the reunion (if the venue is a large, crowded space like a park) and a cute way to put a personalized spin on something you’ll need to have plenty of anyway (bottled water).

A very popular family reunion water label design is “Personalized Label #7.”  The water droplet background is refreshing and there’s plenty of space on the label for reunion information.  If your reunion is around the 4th of July, “Personalized Label #10” is also a popular selection.  We have so many designs to choose from that no matter what the style or theme of your reunion is going to be you’ll have plenty of design options to choose from.

The great thing about personalizing your water is that it opens up a ton of great opportunities to customize your event.  You could design a logo for this particular reunion year that incorporates the venue, or you could proudly feature your family crest on t-shirts and water labels.  The options are endless, and we’re more than happy to help you design a label that will look great at your reunion.

For some excellent family reunion planning tips, these websites are extremely helpful:

• Family reunion games
• Family reunion planning
• Family reunion health and safety

We offer private label bottled water, so your water bottles arrive labeled and ready to go.  This is perfect for someone who has a lot to do to prepare for the reunion and wants to have one less thing to take care of.  We also offer labels only: waterproof, self-adhesive labels that you can apply to the bottles yourself.  These are less expensive to ship but take time to apply.

If you have any questions or would like to see samples just let us know.  We’d be happy to help make your family reunion special!
