A 500 ml soda lime glass bottle supplied in a protective pouch, 6 cm in diameter and 22 cm tall. Glass is the neutral option for a reusable bottle: it adds no taste, does not stain or hold smells, and stays clean over years of use, which is why it is preferred for water and infused drinks over plastic.

The pouch is the practical part of the design. It cushions the glass against knocks in a bag, insulates the surface so a cold bottle is comfortable to hold, and gives the bottle a soft outer texture in a beige finish. The slim 6 cm diameter fits standard bottle holders and side pockets.

Glass bottles are ordered for office water programmes replacing single-use plastic, wellbeing and hydration campaigns, gym and yoga studio merchandise, and welcome gifts for new employees. Their low unit price relative to insulated steel bottles makes them workable for large distributions, and they photograph well for internal communications about sustainability.

The pouch and the glass can both be branded, with print on the pouch giving the largest surface. MerchRepublic applies your logo, packs and ships in bulk across the EU.
