Question 1

Which plastic bottle & cup model should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Start from the constraint, not the model: the volume it has to carry, the height or the diameter the shelf or the cup holder allows, and whether the outside will be held. The manufacturer guide for this range prints capacity, height and diameter for all 2 models, which is the fastest way to eliminate the ones that cannot work before comparing the ones that can.

Question 2

What can be changed on any item in this range?

Accepted Answer

Logo, body colour, surface finish, lid and packing — on every model. Where two models in the range publish a different answer, the difference is printed rather than averaged into a claim that fits neither. Nothing in this catalogue is fixed at the colour it is photographed in.

Question 3

What is the minimum order for this range?

Accepted Answer

From 500 pcs per colour. The minimum applies per colour and per logo treatment, so a two-colour programme counts as two minimums. Below that the honest answer depends on the body and the decoration — ask, and we will tell you what the tooling allows rather than quote a number we cannot hold.

Question 4

How long does a programme in this range take?

Accepted Answer

Sampling is 3–7 days after the artwork and the specification are settled, and production is 10–25 days after sample approval. On this range the specification means the body, the decoration method, the lid and the pack together — the sample clock starts when those are settled, not when the enquiry arrives.

Question 5

Which compliance documents apply to this range?

Accepted Answer

It follows the destination, not the product. FDA food-contact and California Prop 65 cover the United States, LFGB with EU 1935/2004 and REACH SVHC cover the European Union, UK food-contact rules cover the United Kingdom, and Japan and Korea are handled on request. The applicable set is named against your item number rather than sent as a generic pack.

Question 6

Can you make a body that is not in this range?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and most of what ships is not a catalogue item. Send a drawing, a sample photograph or a competitor link and we will say what it would take. A new body means tooling, and tooling is a one-time charge quoted from the drawing rather than posted.

Question 7

Are the plastic items food-safe?

Accepted Answer

They are made from food-grade PP and the incoming material is verified against the purchase specification, the same as the steel. Compliance documents are provided per product and destination market rather than as a generic pack.

Question 8

Why would I choose plastic over stainless steel?

Accepted Answer

Weight and unit cost, in that order. There is no insulation claim on a plastic item, so the choice is made when the programme is a volume give-away or when the shipping plan is weight-limited.
