Taylor Made Designs has seen a 280% increase in sales of its premium vacuum-insulated water bottles this year … and it’s not all to do with the sunny weather!
“Our insulated steel bottles are durable and lightweight. They also look incredible after they have been branded on our 360° lathe printer,” says Ed Taylor, MD of Taylor Made Designs. “These bottles are sustainable, and that’s something consumers are really responding to at the moment.”
Originally a premium product reserved for top-end luxury giveaways, TMD’s long-lasting water bottles can keep drinks hot or cold for hours. Bottles are stocked and branded in-house at Taylor Made Designs HQ in Christchurch, UK. This gives TMD the freedom to offer speedy turnaround times and low minimum order quantities.
“Sales have just about tripled in the past three months,” says Ed, “but year-on-year, we’re seeing a massive surge in demand for this style of drinkware. People love a strong, slim, well-insulated bottle. It looks beautiful when it’s branded and drinks stay ice-cold for ages. It makes a great giveaway item or retail product.”
In 2024, the majority of TMD’s vacuum-insulated bottle sales were to premium luxury brands. Six months into 2025, the number of TMD’s clients buying vacuum-insulated bottles has more than doubled.
“This is the best way for us all to move away from single-use plastics: offer our customers something that is genuinely better,” says James Taylor, Global Sales Director of Taylor Made Designs. “With insulated steel, our client makes a better margin, and their customer gets a better bottle … it’s a win-win!”
TMD offer two vacuum-insulated bottles. The TIDE Bottle is a 600ml rubber-coated bottle with a silicone carry ring. The POD Bottle holds 500ml. Both are available in a range of finishes, with leak resistant screw caps, and both can be printed with a 360° wraparound print.
