Lids & Accessories

The Drinking System On Top

Six lid families, the configuration vocabulary behind them, and the materials they are made from — including the one that decides whether a lid survives.

Not sure which of these applies? Start from the whole range

The Decision

The Lid Is A Specification, Not An Accessory

The body is the thing that is branded, but the lid is the part the buyer actually owns: it is held, opened, washed and dropped. It is also the part that decides what the product can claim. A leak-proof claim is a gasket claim, and a gasket is the cheapest part on the assembly to get wrong.

The Range

Six Lid Families, Photographed

These are the six the site publishes, not the whole catalogue — the factory carries more lid designs than one page can list, so this is the set a programme is specified from rather than an inventory. Each one is shown with the part of the product it actually changes.

Compared

Which Lid, And What It Changes

Carry-Handle Lid

Carry-Handle Lid

A moulded handle that folds back against the body, so a full 1L bottle can be carried on one finger. The most useful lid on anything above 750ml.

Anything above 750ml. The most useful lid on a large body.

Dual-Drink Lid

Dual-Drink Lid

Two ways to drink from one cap — a wide chug opening and a covered straw. One body then serves two kinds of buyer without a second model.

Leak-Proof Sip Lid

Leak-Proof Sip Lid

A silicone-sealed spout under a screw cap. The specification that matters is the gasket, which is where cheap sip lids fail after a few hundred cycles.

A bottle that goes in a bag and has to come back out dry.

Magnetic Chug Lid

Magnetic Chug Lid

The cap parks on a magnet instead of swinging loose on a hinge, so it stays out of the drinker's face while they are moving.

Wide-mouth bodies where a hinged cap gets in the way.

One-Hand Slide Straw

One-Hand Slide Straw

A straw that slides open under a thumb and seals closed again. Chosen for driving, riding and anywhere a second hand is busy.

Driving, riding, anywhere a second hand is busy.

Flip-Straw Lid

Flip-Straw Lid

A hinged straw in a low-profile cap. The simplest straw build we make, and the cheapest to tool.

A straw bottle where the silhouette matters as much as the straw.

Lid colour is counted separately in the minimum, exactly like body colour. A body in one colour with a black lid and a body in one colour with a steel lid are two counts, not one — which is why lid colour is worth deciding early rather than at the sample stage.

Configuration

The Vocabulary A Programme Is Specified From

ConfigurationWhat the buyer is really asking for
ScrewA cap that seals and unscrews. The default closure, and the one the minimum and tooling assumptions already cover.
FlipA lid that opens by a thumb action rather than a thread, one-handed.
StrawA drinking route through a straw, which needs its own bore and its own sealing.
SpoutA shaped pour-and-sip opening, usually under a cap that also closes.
HandleA moulded carry feature on the cap, for bodies above 750ml.
Car-cupA vehicle cup interface: a lid that mates with a dashboard holder.
Bite valveA bite-through valve for soft drink bottles, which changes the body as well as the cap.

A configuration that is not on this list is not refused — it is quoted. Some of them change the body rather than the cap, so they are developed and priced separately.

Materials

What The Wetted Parts Are Made Of

PartMaterialWhy it is on this list
Gaskets and sealsNylon + SiliconeThe part that decides whether a leak-proof claim holds. It is the first thing specified and the first thing tested.
Straw and spout insertsFood-grade PP / BPA-free plasticThe drinking surface, and the part a buyer checks a declaration for.
Lids and closuresFood-grade PP, BPA-Free TritanThe body of the cap, where stiffness and impact matter.
Liner, where a body is lined316L stainless steel linerFor bodies that carry an acidic drink rather than water.
Body, where a lighter body is specifiedAluminum body, food-grade linerA weight and hand-feel route, with the liner keeping the drinking surface steel.

The body itself is 18/8 (304) stainless steel across the range, with the other body materials used where a weight or a lining calls for them. The declaration you are given covers the item number it was issued against.

Questions

Lid & Accessory Questions

What comes up when the lid is the part under discussion.
What makes a lid leak-proof?

The gasket, not the cap. A silicone-sealed spout under a screw cap is a system, and cheap sip lids tend to fail after a few hundred cycles because the seal is the first thing specified and the first thing cut. Tell us the use — a bag, a desk, a gym — and the gasket is specified for it.

Can the lid colour differ from the body?

Yes, and it is counted separately against the minimum: the minimum runs per colour per model, and changing the lid colour starts a new count just as changing the body colour does. If the launch is near its minimum, that is worth knowing before the colour range is fixed.

Do you supply car-cup interfaces?

Car-cup is one of the configurations the range is specified from, and it is a lid that mates with a dashboard holder rather than a cap that seals a body. Tell us the vehicle interface you are targeting and we will confirm the geometry.

Can a bite valve be fitted?

It can, but it changes the body as well as the cap, so it is developed and quoted separately from the standard lid range rather than treated as an accessory swap.
