It doesn’t matter if it is made of metal or plastic, reusable water bottles take a beating, so it is important that they are made to last. This includes any imagery on the bottle.
In today’s increasingly eco-conscious world, Reusable Water Bottles are becoming very popular, and for good reason. For starters, it is much cheaper to refill your own personal water bottle than to continue to buy bottle water time and time again. Then, of course, there are the environmental benefits. The manufacturing of disposable plastic water bottles requires an estimated 47 million gallons of oil each year. Yikes! Reusable water bottles, meanwhile, are just that – reusable – and can help greatly cut down on waste. But wait! We know what you are thinking. Aren’t plastic bottles recyclable? Yes. Disposable water bottles are, in fact, recyclable. However, only 29% of the 44 billion bottles used annually in the United States actually get recycled.
Simply put, reusable water bottles are better for the environment and your wallet. So it should come as no surprise that many ad specialty companies, as well as businesses, have taken notice of this growing trend.
Decorating Metal and Plastic Reusable Water Bottles
It doesn’t matter if it is made of metal or plastic, reusable water bottles take a beating, so it is important that they are made to last. This includes any imagery on the bottle. So it only makes sense that ad specialty companies, product decorators, and manufacturers turn to digital heat transfers for all of their product decoration needs.
Digital heat transfers are computer-generated images that are applied to a particular substrate – in this case a plastic or metal reusable water bottle – using heat and pressure. This process has several benefits, including:
- Because it is a digital process, set up is quicker and easier than traditional methods.
- Digital heat transfers are capable of hitting over 10,000,000 colors and fluid gradients.
- It’s a dry process that requires no cure time.
- Both short runs and long runs are affordable.
- “While there are many technologies available for decorating flat objects, transfers – including digital ones – are often the only solution for round, cylindrical or shaped products,” explains Matt Regan, senior vice president for CDigital.
- And More!
It’s easy to see why digital heat transfers are one of the most popular solutions for decorating plastics and metals.
