01 — Products

A category for every drinkware programme, one material language.

Food-grade 304 / 18-8 and 316 / 18-10 stainless steel, vacuum-insulated or single-wall depending on the product, with food-grade PP lids, BPA-free. Every category is shown in the same view, ratio, background and light so buyers can compare instead of decode.

Water Bottles product category

01

Water Bottles

Insulated and non-insulated bodies, screw and straw lid configurations, ready for logo, color and packaging customization.

Tumblers & Mugs product category

02

Tumblers & Mugs

Vacuum-insulated tumblers and single-wall or insulated mugs, with lid, handle and accessory options, for resale programmes and branded ranges.

Hip Flasks product category

04

Hip Flasks

Typically single-wall stainless steel flasks, with engraving, coating and gift-box options.

Accessories product category

05

Accessories

Lids, straws, silicone parts and cloth bags supplied with drinkware orders — a supporting capability, not a trading catalogue.

02 — Customization

Take a product that already exists and make it yours.

Most orders start from an existing mold: choose the body, then change logo, color, surface finish and packaging. Adding a process that needs no new tooling stays an existing-product customization — with unit price, MOQ, sample cost and lead time recalculated.

Capability

Existing Mold Customization

Start from a mold we already hold, or a stock product, and change the parts the brand actually sees.

Capability

Logo Printing

Laser engraving, silk printing and 3D printing of your artwork, plus other finishes where the product and quantity suit them.

Capability

Color & Surface

Spray and powder coating, brushed and polished finishes, matched against the brand's color reference.

Capability

Packaging

Retail box, gift box and carton programmes. Packaging may carry its own MOQ and artwork requirements.

Capability

Accessories

Lids, straws, silicone parts and cloth bags sourced and matched so one order ships complete.

03 — Product Development

Turn a drawing into something that can be produced in volume.

Development is the second business line: the customer brings the design, we review manufacturability, then move through sample, tooling and first-article approval before mass production. A new body mold is what separates development from ordinary customization.

  1. 01

    Drawing / Design

    Customer drawing, 3D file or a clear functional brief. NDA and exclusivity terms are agreed before drawings are shared.

  2. 02

    Feasibility & Manufacturability Review

    R&D and production check structure, material, tolerances and process route — a design that draws well is not automatically a design that runs well. The mold requirement is decided by R&D and production together, not by sales alone, and the finding comes back with the commercial conditions before the customer commits development cost.

  3. 03

    Commercial Confirmation

    Estimated bulk price, MOQ, 3D sample fee and mold fee are confirmed before development spending starts. Sample and mold fees are paid in stages.

  4. 04

    3D Sample

    A 3D sample shows form, proportion and fit for approval before any tooling is cut.

  5. 05

    Tooling / Mold Development

    Mold fee settled, tooling built to the approved 3D direction.

  6. 06

    Molded Physical Sample

    The physical sample from the new tool is reviewed against the approved specification and tolerance.

  7. 07

    First Article Inspection (FAI)

    First article inspection against the approved sample and final specification, before the bulk run is authorised.

  8. 08

    Mass Production

    Bulk order and deposit, then production, in-process and finished-goods inspection, and shipment.

04 — Applications & Evidence

The same stainless steel product, in a different business.

Some buyers are not drinkware companies at all. Their business simply needs a bottle, flask or cup in a specific role. The scene explains the use — it is not built to manufacture emotion, and the product stays the subject.

05 — Manufacturing & Factory Evidence

Organised production, not a wall of machine photos.

Two lines running forming, welding, polishing, vacuum processing, printing, laser, assembly, inspection and packing. Most operations are in-house; the rest is managed under supplier qualification and incoming inspection — responsibility to the customer does not move with the process.

Processes on the floor

Forming · Welding · Polishing · Vacuum Process · Printing · Laser · Assembly · Inspection · Packing

Outsourced scope may include some lids, accessories, packaging box and carton, electrolytic finishing and spray coating. Supplier qualification, incoming QC, verification and batch traceability apply to bought-out and outsourced parts.

06 — Quality Assurance

Show evidence, not decoration.

No shields, trophies, stars or checkmark badges. Quality is described the way a buyer audits it: inspection stages, measurements, tests, reports and traceability — with photographs of the actual inspection.

  1. 01

    Incoming Inspection

    Bought-out and outsourced parts verified against specification before they enter production.

  2. 02

    In-process Inspection

    Checks through forming, welding, polishing, coating and printing, so a defect is caught before it multiplies.

  3. 03

    Finished Goods Inspection

    Final inspection against the approved sample, final specification and agreed tolerance, with AQL-based sampling and batch identification.

  4. 04

    Testing

    Leak testing and insulation testing where the product applies, plus material verification and first article inspection.

  5. 05

    Traceability & Nonconformance

    Batch traceability on records; major, batch or repeated issues escalate to root cause analysis, CAPA and 8D with effectiveness verification. Supplier-caused problems stay our responsibility to coordinate for the customer.

Compliance documents

FDA and LFGB materials and related test documents can be provided where they apply to the specific product, material, structure, coating, component and target requirement. A report is cited only where it genuinely applies; third-party reports are never edited, and amendments or extensions go through the laboratory.

07 — Request a Quote

Tell us the product, the quantity and what should change.

The more of the fields you fill in, the faster the quotation comes back with a usable bulk price, MOQ and lead time instead of a range.

What helps a fast answer

  • Product or reference model — a category, a model, or a drawing of your own
  • Quantity — target pieces per SKU
  • Capacity / size, material and colour reference
  • Logo or customization and packaging direction
  • Target market, compliance requirement and target delivery date

Name, email, country and the requirement itself are what the form asks for; telephone, product and quantity help if you have them. Bulk terms are 30% deposit and 70% balance — open-account terms are not offered at present. A formal quotation carries a default validity of 60 days.
