Tritan Water Bottles: Spout or No Spout?

May 15, 2014Bulletin Bottle Products, Staff ReviewsBPA-Free Bottles, Tritan Bottles, USA MadeBulletin Bottle

Tritan water bottles–we love ’em! And, we know you will too. The question is: do you want a drinking spout, straw, or twist off lid? In the end, it really comes down to preference. Tritan water bottles are dishwasher safe, stainproof, and odorproof. If you’d like more information on Tritan’s history, read this blog. So, what to choose? Let us offer up a few suggestions!

First up is our popular Traditional Water Bottle. We love this bottle’s large color assortment and sleek design, as well as its ability to handle vertical imprints and large logos. The crest lid has a built in grab handle that makes it easy to tote around and the opening is wide enough to fit ice cubes.

What our staff tester didn’t like about this bottle is the lid. She said, “I work at a desk all day and I prefer to drink through spouts, so I don’t have to constantly screw and unscrew the cap–or risk the possibility of knocking the bottle over and spilling water on my desk.”

Despite really liking the overall design of the Tradititional Water Bottle, she really needs a spout lid for her purposes (that’s why we just added the Traditional Water Bottle with Straw to our lineup!). Continue reading →

Promotional Water Bottles Work!

April 9, 2014Promotion Ideas, Reusable Water Bottle TipsEnvironmental, Plastics Reduction, Printing IdeasBulletin Bottle

For years, we’ve been saying that people (and camels!) love free stuff! And they do! But, how long does that love affair last? Well, that depends on the product, Generally speaking, however, nearly half of the recipients keep it for a year or more!

Did you know that 53% of consumers use promotional products every week? Considering that water bottles can last for years—and be used every day—this bodes well for your promotional water bottles campaign!

The best part? 76% of people who own, say, a promotional water bottle, can remember where it came from and what the message is—whether they have it in front of them (which is kind of cheating…) or not! That’s money well spent.

So, if you’ve been kicking around the idea of using promotional water bottles for your company, school, or nonprofit…chances are your project will be well received AND remembered for a long time to come.

Why Is National Park Service Slow to Adopt Plastic Water Bottle Bans?

April 1, 2014Plastic Bottle Bans, Plastics NewsEnvironmental, Plastics Reduction, SustainabilityBulletin Bottle

In 2010, we told you about Colorado National Monument’s ban on the sale of disposable water bottles. What we didn’t tell you is that the ban nearly fell apart in the eleventh hour. Dasani Water made a big push to stop the ban—and almost succeeded—just days before it was to go into effect.

At the same time, National Park Service abandoned its plan to end disposable water product sales in 75 percent of all visitor facilities by 2016. Continue reading →

Recycled, Recyclable, Reusable—What’s the Difference, Anyway?

February 15, 2014Reusable Water Bottle TipsEnvironmental, Events, Plastics Reduction, SustainabilityBulletin Bottle

November 15 has marked America Recycles Day since 1997. It’s the only nationally recognized day dedicated to the promotion of recycling in the United States.

But what’s the difference between a recycled water bottle, a bottle that’s recyclable, and a reusable water bottle? The three words are often interchanged, but they shouldn’t be.

A recycled bottle has been made from materials that have been previously used. These “materials” are often referred to as post-industrial waste and post-consumer waste.
