8 Handy Drinkware Promotions

16 oz. Classic Mug with Optional Happy Soup/Tea Caddy and Spoon from HOWW Manufacturing

Tumblers, barware, cups, glasses, mugs, sports bottles, oh my! With so many options available in the promotional products industry, there’s always a reason to see the glass as half full with drinkware promotions.

A classic product is a good place to start, but with an almost limitless variety of shapes, sizes, colors and features to work with, it’s easier than ever to put a twist on a staple product to make it more beneficial to your clients.

Take plastic drinkware, which continues to see a growth in popularity, according to Mike Kalamaras, president of Barrington, Illinois-based HOWW Manufacturing. There are plenty of ways to elevate it beyond the standard expectations.

“HOWW offers a unique line of drinkware that looks and feels like glass, but with the durability and safety found within plastic,” Kalamaras said.

Similarly, companies are drawing on one specific aspect of stainless steel to enhance its value to clients. “The current hot trend is high-performance stainless steel drinkware that can keep liquids hot or cold for extreme lengths of time,” Jason Corsetti, CAS, marketing director of Aliquippa, Pennsylvania-based Moderne Glass Co., explained.
