Customisation and logo options for UK buyers
Most UK buyers want engraving or a printed logo, and that is where the order usually starts. Our stainless steel hip flasks take laser engraving on the body, either single-side or both sides, plus debossed or printed logos on the cap area and gift box. For the 6oz, 7oz and 8oz matte black flask range, laser engraving shows cleanly on the matte finish; on polished bodies the contrast is lower, so we recommend a deep etch or a printed wrap instead.
Practical points before you send artwork: -> Supply vector files (AI, EPS or PDF outlines); text-only engraving is fine as a text file. -> We can engrave individual names or initials per unit, which suits gift and corporate buyers, but it adds handling time. -> Colour matching on custom colours is done from a Pantone reference; expect a small tolerance on matte finishes. -> Gift box printing is available and is often what UK retail buyers ask for first.
We will send a photo or sample of the engraving before bulk production so you can approve the depth and placement.
Pricing and MOQ: what the numbers really are
Our listed wholesale price for these flasks is USD 1.10 per piece at a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces. That price applies to the standard flask models in the range: the leak-proof engraved mini stainless steel wine holder flask, the 1-18oz vacuum flask, the 6oz/7oz/8oz matte black flask, and the mini 6oz/7oz/8oz pocket set flask. All four are listed at the same USD 1.10 and MOQ 50.
What changes the price: -> Engraving per unit, especially individual names, adds a setup and handling cost quoted per order. -> Custom colours and printed gift boxes are quoted separately from the flask price. -> Larger volumes move below USD 1.10; ask for a quote at your target quantity. -> Freight to the UK is not included and depends on weight and method.
We quote in writing before production, so you see the flask cost, customisation and freight as separate lines rather than one blended figure.
Buyer-practical checks before you order
These are the questions UK buyers ask us most, answered plainly. The flasks are stainless steel with a screw cap and a food-grade inner lining. The mini and 6oz-8oz models are the usual picks for retail gift sets; the 1-18oz vacuum model suits buyers wanting a larger capacity in the same range.
Before committing: -> Confirm capacity in ounces and millilitres against your retail listing, since UK buyers often expect ml on the label. -> Ask for a pre-production sample if engraving placement matters to you. -> Check leak performance on the cap thread; we test before packing. -> Confirm packaging dimensions for your shipping and storage costs.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for a personalised hip flask from your factory?
The minimum order quantity is 50 pieces per model, and the listed wholesale price is USD 1.10 per piece. Personalised engraving is quoted on top of that based on artwork and whether names differ per unit.
Can you engrave different names on each flask in one order?
Yes. We can engrave individual names or initials per unit, which suits gift and corporate orders. Send the name list with your artwork and allow extra handling time for variable-data engraving.
Do you ship to the UK, and is freight included in the USD 1.10 price?
Freight to the UK is not included in the USD 1.10 unit price. We quote shipping separately based on order weight and method, and you can contact us on WhatsApp at 8613429603289 for a landed-cost estimate.
