Customization and Engraving Options
Engraving is the reason most buyers contact us, so it is worth being precise about what is realistic at our order volumes.
- > Laser engraving works on stainless steel bodies; we can place a logo, monogram or short text on one or both faces.
- > Matte black and colored finishes are available on the 6oz, 7oz and 8oz matte black metal flask model; engraving contrast differs on coated surfaces, so request a sample first.
- > Custom color, custom logo and gift-box packaging are offered on the 1-18oz vacuum flask and the mini pocket flask lines.
- > We quote engraving as part of the unit price rather than a separate line item at standard volumes; complex artwork or multi-position engraving may add cost.
Send vector artwork (AI, PDF or high-resolution PNG) with your inquiry. We return a digital proof before production. If your design has fine lines or small text, ask for a physical pre-production sample, because laser detail on curved flask faces is not identical to flat printing.
Pricing and MOQ: What the Numbers Actually Mean
Our listed wholesale pricing starts at USD 1.10 per piece, with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces across the flask range. That applies to the leak proof engraved mini stainless steel pocket flask, the 1-18oz vacuum flask, the matte black 6/7/8oz model and the portable pocket set.
Treat USD 1.10 as an entry price for standard specifications at MOQ, not a universal quote. Final cost depends on size, finish, engraving coverage, packaging and order quantity. Larger volumes move the unit price, and mixed-model orders can usually be consolidated into one shipment.
We do not publish artificial discounts or fake tier tables. Ask for a quotation with your target quantity, flask size and artwork, and you get a written price with the cost drivers separated. Buyers comparing several suppliers should request the same specification from each, otherwise the numbers are not comparable. Payment terms, sample charges and freight are confirmed in writing before production begins.
Practical Details Before You Order
Most problems in flask sourcing are not about the engraving; they are about leaks, packaging and timing.
- > Leak testing: confirm the cap and thread specification for your chosen model. The leak proof mini flask line is built for pocket carry; still request a sample and test it filled.
- > Capacity honesty: 6oz, 7oz and 8oz refer to nominal capacity. Ask us for measured fill volume if your market regulates labeling.
- > Packaging: flasks ship in individual boxes; gift boxes and custom inserts are available but affect unit cost and carton dimensions.
- > Lead time: production scheduling depends on engraving volume and finish; confirm dates in writing rather than assuming a standard window.
- > Compliance: check your destination country's requirements for food-contact stainless steel and labeling before ordering.
Samples are the cheapest risk control you have. Test the cap, the hinge and the engraving quality before committing to a full run.
