Kids are heading back to school, but summer’s still in full swing! School water bottles should definitely be on your shopping list, because kids need to stay hydrated long after the temps drop.
Here are our favorite school water bottles (psst…they’re also great for fundraisers!). They’re all CPSIA approved for use by children ages 3+, so even preschoolers can drink water in style! Continue reading
A recent blog talked about how the right water bottle makes all the difference if you’re trying to make lasting changes and it all started when I was ordering a bottle to test. This is the story of that test bottle.
I’ve been at Bulletin Bottle since the beginning, and since I only drink water and iced coffee during the day, it didn’t take long for me to figure out that flip up straws, large capacities, and Tritan water bottles are my faves.
This is because 1) I’m too lazy to unscrew a bottle, 2) I drink a lot of water, and 3) I tend to drop things.
But enough about me. Continue reading
Why are water bottle fundraisers gaining popularity in schools? The answer might have something to do with the results of a recent study from the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health.
The nationwide study found that more than half of children and teenagers in the United States may not be properly hydrated, and one in four kids drink no water during the course of their day. Continue reading
I volunteered to test the Wide Mouth Collapsible Bottle because there are two design elements that stuck out when I first saw this bottle in person.
First was the lid. Most of the folding water bottles I’ve seen have simple screw on, push-pull spouts with a clear cap that pops on and off (like our Flat Water Bottle). There’s nothing wrong with those lids, but this is one you would likely find on a much more expensive bottle. Continue reading
Today is the third Monday in April and if you’re living in New England, as we are, you know what that means: Marathon Monday. The Boston Marathon is steeped in tradition dating back to 1857, but did you know that personalized water bottles have become a pre-race tradition of sorts within the elite running community?
From pipe cleaners to glitter, rhinestones to feathers, tape and glue—elite runners gather pre-race to adorn their water bottles.
Did you hear about Hugh Power’s latest masterpiece—the 24k gold extreme mountain bike? It’s a beautiful bicycle designed in collaboration with Dan Bull, an internationally recognized ultra athlete and extreme sports promoter. The handcrafted bike is overlaid with pure gold and there are more than 10 carats of diamonds and sapphires pave’ set on the frame emblem. Oh, and the saddle is made with alligator.
Last year, San Francisco strengthened its eco-conscious stance by passing an ordinance banning the sale of plastic water bottles on city-owned property. The measure, dovetailed with the city’s plastic bag ban, takes aim at single-use plastics in the city.
We’re actually not sure why anyone would opt out of using a reusable water bottle, as San Francisco has some of the best water in the world. It originates from pristine snowmelt in Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in Yosemite National Park. Unlike bottled water, the city’s tap water costs less than half a penny per gallon, is quality tested over 100,000 times a year, and goes straight to the tap!
From schools to airports, national parks to playgrounds, bottle fill stations are popping up all over the place. Plastics reduction efforts around the country have helped to catapult custom water bottles into the limelight—and into everyone’s hands! As we crawl out of our winter hibernation and head towards warmer weather, there’s never been a better time to integrate printed water bottles into your marketing or fundraising efforts.
Not convinced? In a survey conducted by the Promotional Products Association International, 69% of respondents said that usability is key when it comes to grabbing a promotional product at an event. More than 90% said that the reason they keep and use a promotional product is because it’s useful.
Customized water bottles are meant to be just that—custom. No two projects are created equally. So we at Bulletin Bottle [.com] were somewhat surprised to see that in 2014, time and again our clients gravitated towards the same bottles.
Like each customer’s project, these water bottles each have unique characteristics. However, they share one commonality: they are, by far, the most popular customized water bottles of 2014.
