Why You Should Give Your Employees Custom Metal Bottles

Giving employees gifts is the perfect way to show you appreciate them. Cash incentives are always going to be popular, but there is always something more tangible when it is a physical gift that is given. Stainless steel drink bottles are perfect for giving to staff. Hydration is an important factor in everyone’s life, so keeping staff hydrated while also reducing the number of plastic bottles used, makes these an ideal gift. There are several factors why we think stainless steel bottles are the best option compared to getting a plastic, glass or other styles of drink bottles

1) Durability.: Hit them, drop them, bang them. Stainless steel can put up with a lot of abuse. Plastic bottles can split if hit on a hard surface and even though special glass is used in glass drink bottles, it won’t stop them from breaking if dropped from a height onto a hard surface. In comparison, a stainless steel bottle will never split. If you bang it against an object, the worst that will happen is you have a dent. If you drop it on the ground it won’t shatter like glass. This ensures the longevity of the bottle. It means you won’t be needing to replace them every year. Staff will be able to use them for years to come.

2) Superior Insulation: When it comes to insulation, no other style of the bottle comes close. Plastic bottles are only suited to cold drinks, whereas a stainless steel bottle can be used for either hot or cold drinks. Pick a double-walled bottle for added insulation or to really add the wow factor, purchase vacuum insulated drink bottles. They can keep hot drinks hot for up to 24 hours and the same with cold drinks. It’s amazing to think your staff can make a hot cup of coffee at home, put it in their drink bottle and when they get to work 30 minutes to one hour later, the coffee will still be just as hot! It means your staff will have access to hot or cold beverages at any time of the day, making them appreciative of your gift.

3) Easy To Clean: They are easy to clean with a quick swirl of detergent and hot water inside and then a quick rinse. Making them easy to maintain hygiene will give your staff an added incentive to make them their go-to bottle for both the office and at home or outings.

4) Better For The Environment: Justifiably there is a big push to rid ourselves of plastic and one of the biggest culprits is bottled water. By giving employees stainless steel bottles, it shows to your staff that you are also concerned with the environment and gives them a sense of pride in using their bottles.

5) Safer To Drink From: Not all plastics are the same and some have BPA which is very detrimental to health. Also, continuous use of a plastic water bottle can also leach harmful substances. You won’t get this with stainless steel. It is food-grade quality and is BPA free, making it safe for your employees to drink from any time of day or night.

Customised drink bottles have been popular for many years and by giving them to your staff, you are giving them a lovely gift that helps cement company loyalty.
