Why Custom Tumblers Are a Smart Business Gift
If you're looking for a branded gift that doesn't end up forgotten in a drawer, custom tumblers are the real MVP. They're durable and made for everyday life, whether that's keeping coffee hot during morning meetings or holding cold water through back-to-back calls.
This is useful, high-quality drinkware that reflects your company's personality every time it's used. When you order custom tumblers with a logo, your brand gets consistent exposure in a way that feels natural and welcome.
And when you partner with WATR, your gift goes further. Every tumbler helps fund clean water projects in East Africa. You can make an impact with your commitment to sustainability and clean water access. So your bulk order won't just say "We appreciate you." It'll say "We're doing good together."
Step-by-Step: How To Order Custom Tumblers From WATR
From a small employee appreciation gesture to a major corporate event, ordering custom tumblers in bulk from WATR is easier than you think.
We've broken the process down into simple steps so you can focus on creating a meaningful gift instead of chasing down details.
Step 1: Choose Your Tumbler Style
Browse the WATR tumbler collection to find the size, color, and style that matches your brand's vibe. From clean neutrals to vibrant colors like seafoam and burgundy, you'll find options that fit your look and your audience. All tumblers are made from vacuum-insulated stainless steel, designed to keep drinks hot or cold for hours. The good impressions will last even longer.
Step 2: Send in Your Bulk Order Details
Know what you want? Head to our bulk custom drinkware orders page to provide your project info. You'll share details like quantity, shipping address, color preferences, and any important dates. Whether you're ordering 25 or 2,000+, we'll walk you through the rest.
Step 3: Submit Your Logo for Custom Etching
Now, it's time to make it yours. WATR offers custom etching, which means we permanently engrave your logo or design into the surface with no peeling and no fading. You'll send us your artwork during the order process, and we'll take care of aligning it beautifully to complement the tumbler's design.
Step 4: Review and Approve Your Digital Proof
Before production begins, you'll receive a digital proof showing your custom tumblers with your etched design. You'll be able to review, request revisions if needed, and approve once it looks perfect. No surprises, just total confidence in how your final product will turn out.
Step 5: Get Your Tumblers Delivered, Gift-Ready
Once approved, your order heads into production. If we've got your color in stock, most orders ship fast, sometimes within seven days. For longer-lead projects or large quantities, we recommend ordering 30 days out to stay ahead of schedule. Either way, you'll get your tumblers delivered on time and ready to impress.
Tips for a Smooth Ordering Experience
Ordering custom tumblers in bulk should feel easy, not like a full-time job. With a few proactive moves, you can keep the process smooth and stress-free. Here's how to stay ahead of the curve:
- Start early: If you're planning for a holiday, company event, or conference, give yourself 30+ days to explore options and finalize details.
- Stick to in-stock colors: Popular shades move fast. Choosing from our current inventory helps speed up turnaround time. We can steer you in the right direction.
- Bundle your orders: Ordering for multiple departments or events? Combine projects to meet pricing tiers and save.
- Order a few extras: Someone's going to join the team last-minute, or wish they had one of your tumblers. Extras make you the hero.
With these simple steps, you can keep your bulk order of custom tumblers running like clockwork and your brand looking its best.
