Common Bottle Sizes and Labels Sizes that Fit Them

June 1, 2023 by bottleyourbrand Leave a Comment

A question we get over and over again is “I need to make labels for my bottles, my bottles are – fill in the blank. What size labels do I need?” It’s a tough question to answer since there are hundreds of types of standard bottles for products out there, not to mention custom created ones by brands that are getting fancy by creating their own bottle style. For instance an 8oz energy drink bottle is most likely a different shape than an 8oz Kirkland Signature water bottle.

Team Stickers On A Sheet – Print One Water Bottle Sticker Per Kid

May 1, 2023 by bottleyourbrand Leave a Comment

Parents or coaches of kids sports, listen up! Kids are constantly leaving or misplacing their sports equipment, water bottles, shoes, jerseys, playbooks, the list goes on and on. Here at Bottle Your Brand we can’t help you with that, sorry the kids just need to do better. What we can help you with is the ability to create sticker sheets for your team where you give each player one custom sticker with their name to apply to a water bottle, playbook or whatever else they constantly misplace.

Print An Entire Teams Roster On A Single Sheet Of Stickers

Get Started!

There are a dozen or more kids on any given team and most sticker printers require you to purchase 20 or more of the same design when ordering. That means if you want personalized sports stickers for your kid you’re going to end up with 20, if there are 12 kids on a team that’s 240 sticker being printed up and a lot of wasted money and material. We can solve both of those problems. We can print a teams worth of stickers on a single sheet, each sticker being its own unique one for each kid. For example this sheet of stickers for a soccer team:

Create custom sticker sheets for kids sports team with each one being unique to a player.

Reducing Waste With Short Run Sticker Printing

With the ability to print different names on each sticker you can often times get 15 or so different kids stickers on each sheet. Need two stickers or even three stickers for each kid? No problem, you can edit the names on each sticker to whatever you like. That means that you can get a whole teams worth of kids stickers on a few sheets instead of several dozen sheets if each parent were to order for their child individually.

Print 15 or more unique stickers on a single sheet. Save money and materials.

Short Run Water Bottle Stickers For Any Sport

We’ve got several premade templates for basketball, soccer and other sports but if you want to make your own custom team stickers in short runs you can do so. Simply create your designs and lay it out on a 8.5”x11” standard size sheet. Upload it as a PDF or high resolution JPG file starting here. We’ll die cut them out to your requirements an ship your sheet or sheets out within four business days, often sooner. One pro tip though, try to leave .25” of space between each design so we can get a good clean cut around whatever image you have. Also keep in mind we need a cut path around your images (a one or two pixel line that traces the outline of your image) so we know how to cut them out. If you aren’t sure how to do that let us know and we can help.

If you need help or have questions about creating your short run water bottle sticker sheets for your team reach out to us. We’re happy to help. We’re here on live chat Monday to Friday 9am to 3pm PST or email us using the contact info below to the right. Cheers!

Phone Case Stickers – A Simple Guide & A Few Ideas.

April 1, 2023 by bottleyourbrand Leave a Comment

As of late we’ve been getting a lot of you inquiring about stickers for your phone, (we assume for the case) but hey you put stickers directly on your phone if you want to. All the requests got us thinking about phone case stickers and what are they best designs and sizes. So first we did some quick research on the most popular phone cases and who makes them and here is what we discovered:

collage of phone case stickers

The top 5 most popular phone case makers.

Based on their market share and popularity, the most widely purchased and used phone case producers are:

OtterBox: OtterBox is known for their rugged and durable phone cases that provide excellent protection against drops, scratches, and other types of damage.
Speck: Speck is a well-known brand that offers a wide range of phone cases that are both protective and stylish. They are particularly popular among iPhone users, why? We have no idea.
Incipio: Incipio is another popular phone case maker that offers a range of stylish and protective cases for various phone models. Honestly we’d never heard of this brand.
Case-Mate: Case-Mate is a well-known brand that offers a range of fashionable and trendy phone cases that appeal to a wide range of customers.
Spigen: Spigen is a popular brand that offers a range of affordable and durable phone cases that provide excellent protection for virtually any phone model.

Obviously there are other makers and a zillion knock offs of all these makers. Head over to Amazon and type in “phone case” there are a crazy amount of options and tons of funny descriptions written by people that obviously are pretending that English is their first language.

Moving on, what is the standard size of a phone or a phone case? You obviously can’t design or order a phone case sticker without knowing the size of your phone. We found that between Android and iPhone the standard size is between 5.5 to 6.5 inches diagonally. So that said the width is roughly 2.7” to 3.2” making the ideal size for a phone case sticker about 2” to 2.5” by 3” to 4”.

Use this simple info-graphic to determine what phone case sticker size you need.

Ideas for creative uses of stickers on your phone case

Armed with the standard phone size information you now need some inspiration as to what kind of stickers to put on your phone. Here’s seven good ones to get your creative juices flowing.

Express your personality: Choose stickers that represent your interests, hobbies, and personality. For example, if you love music, you can use stickers of your favorite bands or musical instruments. Dogs are also a big one, check out our extensive collection of dog stickers.
Make a collage: Create a collage by layering different stickers on top of each other. You can use stickers of different sizes and shapes to create an interesting visual effect.
Spell out your name: Use letter stickers to spell out your name or initials. You can also use stickers with different fonts and colors to make it more creative.
Create a theme: Choose stickers that match a specific theme, such as flowers, animals, or travel. This can give your phone case a cohesive and stylish look.
Mix and match: Get weird with it and mix and match different types of stickers. You can use stickers with different designs, shapes, and colors to create a unique look.
Use stickers to cover scratches: If your phone case has scratches or scuffs, use stickers to cover them up. This can give your phone case a new life making it look brand new.
Create a story: Use stickers to create a story on your phone case. You can use stickers of different characters, objects, and settings to tell a story that represents your personality and interests.

Remember that there is no right or wrong answer here, use stickers however you see fit but most of all be creative and be unique!

March 1, 2023 by bottleyourbrand Leave a Comment

Staying hydrated is crucial for a healthy lifestyle, and Hydro Flask bottles have become widely popular recently for many people looking for a reliable and durable reusable water bottle. Hydro Flask is a company that has gained a reputation for producing high-quality insulated water bottles that keep your drinks cold or hot for hours, and they come in a variety of sizes and colors. They have almost become a status symbol of sorts, similar to a designer jean or hat, Hydro Flask bottles say “look at how I love to stay hydrated, and I’m willing to spend $50 to look good doing it”.

Why Are Hydro Flask Bottles So Popular?

One of the primary reasons for Hydro Flask’s popularity is the quality of their products. Hydro Flask bottles are made of high-grade stainless steel and are designed to withstand rough handling that comes with adventuring in the outdoors. They are also double-walled with vacuum insulation, which means that they can keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to 12 hours, making them perfect for hot summer days or cold winter hikes.

Another reason for Hydro Flask’s success is the range of sizes and colors they offer. Hydro Flask bottles come in sizes ranging from 12 oz to 128 oz, so you can choose a size that suits your needs. They come in a range of colors and designs, so you can find one that fits your style.

Hydro Flask bottles are also incredibly convenient to use. The wide-mouth design makes it easy to fill and clean, and the screw-on cap ensures that your drink will not spill (if you have kids you know how important a quality lid or cap is). The caps are also insulated, which helps to keep your drink at the desired temperature for longer. You can tell Hydro Flask spent some time and money on R&D when they engineered their bottles, they function and hold well.

These Sound Amazing! Are There Any Downsides to Hydro Flask Bottles?

While Hydro Flask bottles are incredibly popular, there are a few downsides to consider. First, they are relatively expensive compared to other water bottles on the market. However, the high quality and durability of the bottles can make them worth the investment in the long run. If you are looking for alternatives though visit any Target, Costco, Fred Meyer, Ross or even HomeGoods and you’ll find plenty of Hydro Flask knock offs for a fraction of the cost. And our stickers will work on them just as good.

Another potential downside is that Hydro Flask bottles are heavier than other water bottles. This is due to their double-walled insulation, which adds weight to the bottle. However, many people find that the added weight is worth it for the benefits of having their drinks stay cold or hot for hours.

The Exciting Conclusion

Hydro Flask bottles are a great choice for anyone who wants a reliable, durable, and stylish water bottle that can keep drinks cold or hot for extended periods of time. And with the addition of custom Hydro Flask stickers from us here at BYB, you can add a personal touch to your bottle that makes it uniquely yours. Whether you’re hiking in the mountains or commuting to work, a Hydro Flask bottle with custom stickers can help you stay hydrated and refreshed all day long. Cheers!

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:

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.

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.

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.
