The ultimate guide to branded juice bottles

What’s the most boring freebie you’ve been given? A pencil? A USB stick? Maybe a stress ball that’s now sat gathering dust? If you’re going to give people something, make it memorable and give them something they’ll actually enjoy.

One simple pleasure we can all appreciate is a tasty, freshly made drink. Serving vibrant juice bottles with your branding front and centre can lift the atmosphere at your event. It creates a memorable experience that quite literally puts your brand on everyone’s lips.

This guide explores how bold, flavour-packed juices can leave a lasting impression on your guests and maximise your brand’s impact.

Why branded juice makes a splash

1. Instant refreshment. Most freebies end up forgotten in a drawer, whereas a cool, revitalising juice creates an immediate positive association with your brand.
2. Health-conscious. With wellness becoming a top priority for many, offering a healthy drink shows you care about the well-being of your guests.
3. Brand exposure. As attendees carry their juices around the event, your brand travels with them, catching eyes and sparking interest.
4. Photo-worthy. Vibrant juices in sleek, branded bottles lend themselves to photographing and sharing on social media, extending your reach beyond the event itself.
5. Recyclable. Unlike standard plastic trinkets, juice bottles are consumable and recyclable, aligning with modern eco-friendly values.

Your perfect juice order: A step-by-step guide

Bottle design

Select the perfect bottle to carry your brand message. Choose from:

• Standard 250ml: The crowd-pleaser, offering ample space for your branding.
• Short 100ml: An ideal ‘taster’ size for a refreshing pick-me-up.
• Shot 60ml: Perfect for a quick energy boost at a fast-paced event.

Choose from premium glass bottles to add a touch of sophistication, or go for recycled plastic for a lightweight, practical choice.

Designing your custom label

Create a label that turns heads and tells your brand’s story. Here are our top tips for eye-catching label design:

• Showcase your logo prominently – this is key for brand recognition! Often the most striking labels are plain logos. Adding too much information can confuse your message and look messy.
• Play with brand colours to create a memorable, on-brand design. Consider how the juice colour might complement or contrast with your label.
• Incorporate subtle event hashtags or QR codes for additional online engagement. This can drive interaction on social media or lead guests to an event-specific landing page.

Remember, your label is a miniature billboard for your brand. Make every element count!

Quantity calculation

Nobody wants to run out of refreshments mid-way through an event. Ensure all your guests stay refreshed from start to finish:

• Base your order quantity on expected guest numbers, then add a buffer of around 10-15% for unexpected attendees or high demand.
• Consider the event duration and time of day. Afternoon events could require more refreshments as energy levels dip and attendance might increase.
• Factor in weather – hot days call for extra hydration. If your event is in the summer, increase your order accordingly.
• If you’re offering multiple flavours, consider ordering more of the likely popular choices while still keeping a good variety.

Remember, it’s always better to have a small surplus than to run out early. Any leftover juices can be enjoyed by staff at the event.

Flavour selection

It’s great to choose flavours that resonate with your brand personality and event theme, but remember, the bottle’s overall appearance often makes the biggest splash. The contrast between the juice colour and label is key to making your branding stand out. Here’s some inspiration to get started:

• Orange, Mango & Passionfruit: A bright orange juice that’s perfect for morning events or product launches that need a bit of zing
• Mixed Berry: A vivid berry red juice ideal for afternoon pick-me-ups.
• Apple, Kiwi & Spinach: A bold green juice that’s great fit for wellness-focused events or eco-friendly brands
• Brain Booster: A rich orange juice that brings a taste of tropical holidays to corporate events or summer gatherings
• Apple, Beetroot & Ginger: A deep reddish-purple juice that’s the perfect spicy option for bold brands or high-energy events

When selecting multiple flavours, consider choosing a range of contrasting colours to create a visually striking rainbow effect. Pairing an orange, a red and a green juice, for instance, can make your display even more eye-catching and appealing to guests.

Seamless delivery

We’ll coordinate delivery to your office or event venue, so your branded juices arrive fast, fresh and chilled, ready to wow your guests. Here’s what you need to know:

• Provide clear delivery instructions so we can ensure your drinks arrive in the right place and on time.
• If your event is long, consider having refrigeration available at the venue to keep the juices chilled throughout the day. If this isn’t available, your juices should be kept on ice.
• Have a plan for distributing the juices efficiently throughout the event, whether they’re placed at designated refreshment stations or handed out by staff.
