Custom Branded Thermoses for Businesses with Your Logo
Custom branded thermoses for businesses are the gift people use daily: coffee from home to the office, cold water on site or at a trade show, hot food at lunchtime. We laser-engrave your logo on the steel, in a small size and without bright colours. Production starts at 10 units, and each person chooses capacity and colour on the platform.
It's Not the Steel That Insulates, It's the Vacuum
A thermos maintains temperature due to the vacuum between its two steel walls: without air, heat barely transfers by conduction. That's why two thermoses that look the same can perform very differently. In 18/8 stainless steel thermoses — the same alloy known in the industry as AISI 304 — with double walls and a well-made vacuum, product specs declare between 8 and 12 hours of heat retention and 18 to 24 hours of cold retention in capacities from 500 to 750 ml. Single-walled models or those with a simple air chamber, sold at lower prices, only last two or three hours and feel warm to the touch. Before comparing prices, ask about the type of steel and whether the interior has a copper lining.
The other factor is the opening. A wide opening, over 50 mm, is easy to clean, accommodates ice, and is suitable for food, but loses temperature each time it's opened. A narrow opening, 40 to 50 mm with a screw cap, retains heat longer and doesn't leak in a backpack. In coffee formats, a press-fit lid with a silicone seal is the difference between a dry and a wet laptop. All these decisions are made before ordering, along with any other customised bottles and mugs for businesses you want to coordinate.
What You Can Customise
- The laser-engraved logo, typically 4 to 6 cm wide on the thermos body: it appears in the natural colour of the steel beneath the paint and doesn't wash off.
- The colour and finish of the body: matte, satin, plain white or black, and corporate colours with powder coating when volume allows.
- The capacity and format: 350 ml coffee thermos, 500 or 750 ml bottle, food thermos or 1-litre table thermos, with each person choosing theirs on the platform.
- The lid extras: screw cap, sports spout, server cap or bamboo lid, plus a second small marking on the base or lid.
- The packaging: Pekata box with band and card featuring your brand, alone or inside a welcome pack for businesses alongside a notebook, pen, and textile.

How It's Done
- Design and Preview: send us your logo in vector format (SVG, PDF, or AI) and if you only have a PNG, we'll vectorise it. Choose format, colour, and marking position, and see the thermos with your logo applied on screen before approving anything.
- Production and Marking: laser engraving is done unit by unit on the steel; UV colour printing is reserved for logos with multiple colours or gradients. Production typically takes between two and three weeks, depending on format and quantity.
- Delivery: to the office in a single shipment, to an event venue, or to each person's address across Europe. Each person enters their address on the portal in their language, and you receive a single invoice.
When it Makes Sense to Give a Thermos
A thermos works where a mug doesn't: field teams, construction sites, logistics, salespeople on the road, and offices without a coffee machine. For these profiles, the format least likely to end up in a drawer is 500 to 750 ml with a narrow mouth, which won't leak in a backpack; for the office desk, 350 or 400 ml with a drip-proof lid is sufficient. It also fits as a welcome gift, because it's used on the first day and remains on the desk a year later. If you're phasing out single-use cups, a thermos with a small logo is easy to justify and fits with the rest of the eco-friendly merchandise in the catalogue.
For trade shows and conferences, it's wise to decide beforehand if the thermos is for the team or the visitor: for the team, 500 or 750 ml with laser engraving, priced between €18 and €28, are worthwhile; for stand giveaways, opt for lighter formats and larger quantities, as with the rest of the event, trade show, and conference merchandise. And if it's going to be a Christmas or anniversary gift, combine it with gourmet products inside the Pekata box, like any of the customised corporate gifts with your logo.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a personalised thermos with my company's logo cost?
Between €16 and €35 per unit with the logo already applied and excluding VAT. A 350 ml coffee thermos ranges from €16-22, a 750 ml screw-top from €20-28, and a food or one-litre thermos reaches €30-35. These are indicative prices and decrease with order volume.
What is the minimum order for personalised thermoses?
The minimum order is 10 units: we produce from 10 units, so you can order ten thermoses for a small team or five hundred for the entire staff. The order as a whole must also come to at least €100 excluding VAT. What changes with quantity is the unit price, not the ability to order. You also don't need to buy them all the same: each person chooses capacity and colour on the portal.
How long does it take for an order of thermoses with a logo to arrive?
Typically, it's two or three weeks from when you approve the preview, depending on the format and quantity. Laser engraving is quick; what usually determines the timeframe is the availability of the chosen model and colour. If delivery is to each person's address, add the days it takes them to enter their address on the portal.
What marking technique is best for a steel thermos?
Laser engraving is the standard: it burns the paint layer and leaves the logo in the steel's tone, withstands washing, and doesn't peel off, but it's in a single colour. If your logo has multiple colours or gradients, UV digital printing reproduces them at 360 degrees, though it wears worse with friction. The usual marking size is 4 to 6 cm wide.
Can thermoses be put in the dishwasher?
As a rule, no. The double-walled vacuum body is hand-washed with warm water and soap, as dishwasher heat can damage the vacuum seal and exterior finish. Many lids are suitable; we indicate this by model in the specification before you approve the order.
