What’s one of the best ways to save the environment from single use plastics and look like a total boss while doing it? Customized reusable water bottles and coffee cups are one of the best trends for the environment in the last few years. Companies are even starting to reward their customers for ditching plastic -- did you know Starbucks gives you a 10 cent discount when you bring your own cup? That’s just about as awesome as knowing you’re helping to cut down on plastic waste! However, the best thing about your new Starbucks tumbler or Yeti cup is that they are completely customizable to your taste! With all the options today for designs, it can be hard to decide what’s the best way to personalize your water bottle or tumbler. Don’t get overwhelmed! You don’t have to spend a fortune on getting your item professionally customized. You can take charge of your own designs by personalizing your own stickers.
What type of stickers are best to personalize cups and bottles? You don’t want to go with regular paper stickers, as they won’t be durable enough to survive daily use and washing. Vinyl decals are the best stickers to use on bottles and cups as they are waterproof and will not be damaged by hand washing. However, like any sticker you shouldn’t scrub or soak the decal as it will cause damage. Vinyl stickers will not fade, peel, or crack, as opposed to regular stickers made of more lightweight material. The best part is, it’s SO easy to adhere vinyl stickers with no bubbles or lifting. You don’t have to be a pro - anybody can do it! All you have to do is clean the item to be decorated, adhere the decal with transfer tape and use a credit card to smooth out any bumps. Vinyl decals are also removable, so it’s easy to change your aesthetic whenever you want. Vinyl stickers can be used for:
- Hydro Flask bottles
- Yeti bottles
- Plastic Starbucks tumblers
- Wine & beer glasses
- Coffee mugs
And almost any smooth, clean surface, even laptops, mirrors, car windows and planners.
Reusable items are also a most wished-for gift for the holidays this year as more people are becoming informed of their impact on the environment. Custom vinyl stickers are a perfect way to turn a plain glass or mug into a unique low-waste and low cost gift that will hold up to daily use. Custom stickers turn plain wine glasses into a great Christmas gift for friends or family to toast together on the holidays. For the early risers, a Starbucks tumbler personalized with a vinyl sticker bearing the recipient's name or favorite phrase is a thoughtful gift that is sure to not be soon forgotten. Who doesn’t absolutely love a personalized gift, especially when it’s something they will use again and again?
Customizing your reusable items with vinyl decals gives you more incentive than ever to switch to eco friendly bottles, glasses and tumblers and help kick your plastic habit for good. Be kind to yourself, our earth, and your wallet, and consider switching from single-use plastics to reusable bottles. When you do, reward yourself for making the switch with a custom vinyl sticker for your new bottle from Duchi Designs.
