Put a Sticker on It! Ideas to Transform Boring Promotional Merchandise

February 1, 2023 by bottleyourbrand Leave a Comment

Corporate gifts and branded swag bags are notoriously terrible. (How many cheap logo pens does a person need…?) But promotional merch still exists because it can work. When it’s done right, free merchandise can help draw a crowd, increase recognition and visibility, or show that your company cares.

So, how can you stand out? These unique corporate gift ideas are designed to stick around:

  1. Design-Your-Own Water Bottles

In the promo merch world, reusable water bottles are both a blessing and a curse. They’re universally useful and easy to carry around, but most people already have a junk drawer full of them.
Instead of a boring logo-etched design, give guests the opportunity to add stickers and make it their own! We specialize in small batch sticker printing, so you can set up a merch table with multiple options to choose from. Are you pre-packing swag bags? Mix up the variety so that guests can share and compare customized water bottles.

Add your own custom logo sticker to a water bottle for a unique handout.

Design a few dozen custom stickers, each batch with it’s own design. Since we specialize in low minimum orders you can have a variety of custom sticker designs without having to order thousands or even hundreds of each.

  1. Custom Beer, Wine, or Mocktail Labels

Whether you’re gifting bottles or just serving drinks at an event, custom stickers add a little something extra. Add a small bottle neck label and hang tag to share a personal message, or get permission from corporate to create a full-size, custom label.

12oz. can labels you can customize
Customizable 12oz. can labels are perfect for trade show handouts.

These small details can turn your next trade show mixer into an Instagramable event.

  1. Add a QR Code Surprise

Turn your welcome notes or swag bag packet into a treasure hunt worth flipping through. Did you know that QR codes work on our matte-finish & high gloss stickers? Now you can blend virtual and in-person activities to keep attendees more engaged. Set up a ‘spin the wheel’ mini game or raffle drawing, then order QR code stickers that can be scanned to unlock online entry!

scannable qr code stickers
Make your own QR code scannable sticker in any shape.

At Bottle Your Brand, we’re passionate about helping you create branded gifts worth giving. Visit our DIY design portal to create custom labels and stickers for your next corporate event.

It’s a coconut-based drink that’s creamily delicious and when spiked with rum it’s a winner. Let’s face it, the holiday season is brief, so add this to your drink line up in place of regular old eggnog and you’ll be kicking up your drink game to the next level of YUM!

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Custom Gifts Home Brewers Will Appreciate this Holiday Season

December 2, 2020 by Jenny Walters Leave a Comment

The gifts that make the holidays memorable are the ones you’ve taken care to select. When you give a gift to your favorite brewer this year make sure it’s something special. Brewing is the epitome of careful craftsmanship as most brewers would agree, so here are a few ideas for someone that appreciates the unique.

Give Your Brewer Custom Bottle Neck Labels

Neck labels are the smallest label on a beer bottle and are applied to the neck of the bottle. They are curved to accept the shape of the neck and partially wrap around it. With a custom beer neck label you have the ability to add a batch number, monogram, logo, or in this case, a holiday greeting. Neck labels are the finishing touch to branding beer whether it’s for gifts or for a craft brewery.

Custom beer bottle neck labels make unique gifts for home brewers.

Make Custom Beer Labels With a Holiday Theme

You might say you’re not a designer, but don’t stress about design since you can simply add your text to our ready-made beer label templates. Beer labels come in rectangles, ovals, and squares. The beer label we call our “standard beer label” is 4 inches wide by 3.5 inches high so it fits not only on long necks but on stubbies. If you’re labeling a growler or squealer you might consider our “growler labels” which come 6 x 4 in portrait or landscape, and in square sizes 5 x 5 and 4 x 4.

Check out our wide variety of Christmas beer label designs, many of which have bottle neck labels that are companion designs by the same name.

Christmas brew dressed up with a custom label makes gifts home brewers appreciate. Order one or 100!
Make your home brewer a custom oval beer bottle label as a Christmas gift this year.

Surprise them with Custom Beer Bottle Caps

While we don’t currently offer custom beer caps we can say that this custom touch makes homemade beer not only look like this is a serious beer brewer, but a pro at that. Find custom beer caps at BottleMark Custom Bottle Caps.

Custom bottle caps are a great gift idea for home beer makers.

Customize a Bottle Carrier

Four-bottle or six-bottle carriers are available online from a variety of companies, including Amazon. They’re generally made of chipboard or cardboard and come with a handle for easy carrying along with dividers to protect the bottles .

Make custom six pack carriers by adding a large 6 x 4 growler label.

Many printing companies require a minimum order quantity in the hundreds if not thousands for custom carriers, so we’re offering this simple solution; personalize bottle carries with a custom label on the side. It’s fast and cheap. When you only need a small quantity of bottle carriers Amazon offers a package of ten bottle carriers in white or kraft cardboard.

Give the home brewer in your life a custom six pack carrier by adding a custom 6 x 4 inch label.

We added a 6″ wide by 4″ high custom growler label on each side of the carrier. These custom labels are available in quantities as low as one. This makes it very easy to create a custom carrier as a gift for your favorite home brewer.

Design a Personalized Bottle Opener

For a gift that keeps on giving, make a custom beer bottle opener that fits in a pocket like a credit card. Your home brewer will love opening a bottle for friends with one of these handy tools.

Bottle opener; credit card size with custom imprint is a gift any beer maker or beer drinker will appreciate.

Since the holidays are a favorite time to break out the home brew, these custom inexpensive gifts are ones your favorite brewer will appreciate.

If you’re a home brewer let us know your favorite gift from the past. Add your suggestions in the comments. On the other hand if you need assistance please visit our live chat Monday through Friday from 9 am to 3 pm at bottleyourbrand dot com.
