Five Reasons Why You Want a Tritan Water Bottle

Bulletin Bottle Products, Reusable Water Bottle Tips

I Love TritanYou may have seen recent blogs discussing our different bottle materials. Time and again, we refer to a Tritan water bottle as a quality alternative to an aluminum, glass, or other BPA-free plastic bottle. Does it seem like we just love Tritan? Well…we do! Here’s why the recipients of your water bottle project will too.

1. Dishwasher safe. BOOM. Really, do you need any other reason? For longevity of the imprint on the bottle, we do suggest hand-washing your water bottles in warm soapy water. But, a Tritan water bottle is very happy on the top shelf of your dishwasher, next to your glass water bottles. No other material should ever be washed in this manner.

Water Bottle Fundraisers: What to Know

Bulletin Bottle Products, Promotion Ideas, Reusable Water Bottle Tips, , , ,

kids_for_the_bay3Many of our clients hold water bottle fundraisers for their nonprofit organization, and have great success with promoting their environmental consciousness with their group’s supporters. However, there are a few things you need to know before selecting which bottle you’ll use for water bottle fundraisers.

1. Age of your primary recipients

Focused on adults? If your bottles will be purchased and used primarily by adults (if you’re a church selling water bottles after services, for example), then you can pick and choose from any water bottle on the Bulletin Bottle website.

Targeting teens? If you’re a high school selling water bottles at your football games, you can choose from any water bottle on our site.

Aiming for tweens or children? This is where it gets tricky. While each water bottle we carry has passed testing for applicable FDA standards, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) mandates that we take extra precautions when selling water bottles meant PRIMARILY for children under the age of 13. We’ve written a comprehensive FAQ on CPSIA, but in a nutshell, let us know if your audience could be children under 13 so we can help you select bottles that are tested and approved for your age group and your unique needs.
