Custom Water Bottle Ordering Process
Follow our simple 6-step ordering process below to get your custom wholesale water bottles or tumblers—designed for brands, built for scale.
Ordering Process
Get a Quote
Reach out to our sales team with your product requirements, including bottle type, capacity, materials, surface finish, logo method, packaging, and estimated quantity. We’ll respond with a detailed quote outlining pricing and estimated production timelines.
Request a Sample
After reviewing the quote, request a custom sample to ensure the bottle meets your expectations. This step allows you to evaluate design accuracy, logo placement, coating quality, materials, and overall performance before mass production.
Place Your Order
Once the sample is approved, you can proceed with order placement. Production is scheduled after payment is made according to the confirmed quotation and agreed terms.
Start Production
Our manufacturing team begins production once payment is confirmed. All production timelines follow the schedule provided in your quotation to ensure clarity and consistency.
Quality Inspection
Every order goes through strict quality inspection. Our QC team checks products against approved specifications, covering appearance, structure, insulation performance, and packaging requirements.
Shipping
After passing quality inspection, your bottles are carefully packed and shipped to your designated location. We prioritize your preferred shipping method to ensure safe and on-time delivery.

Main Shipping Methods for Water Bottles & Tumblers
We offer multiple international shipping options to match your order size, delivery timeline, and cost targets.
Sea Freight (Ocean Shipping)
Best for: Large volumes, bulk orders, cost-sensitive shipments
Options: FCL (Full Container Load) – 20GP, 40GP, 40HQ; LCL (Less than Container Load)
- Advantages: Lowest cost per unit; ideal for mass production and regular replenishment
- Considerations: Longer transit time (typically 20–45 days)
- Typical Applications: Wholesale orders, retail chain supply, long-term inventory planning
Air Freight
Best for: Urgent orders, medium volumes, high-value products
- Advantages: Fast transit (≈3–10 days); more predictable schedules

Express Courier (DHL / FedEx / UPS)
Best for: Samples, small orders, urgent deliveries
- Advantages: Door‑to‑door service; fastest delivery (usually 3–7 days); simple documentation

- Typical Applications: Product samples, trial orders, replacement/urgent shipments
Rail Freight (China–Europe)
Best for: Medium‑volume shipments between Asia and Europe
- Advantages: Faster than sea, more cost‑effective than air; stable pricing
- Considerations: Limited routes and destinations
