Product Details
xThe ORCA 500 ml Aluminum Sport Bottle in Silver is a lightweight, single wall sublimation bottle blank sold 48 per case, built for giveaways where unit cost decides the order.
Aluminum is lighter and cheaper than our 500 ml stainless bottle, by about a dollar per bottle. It is not insulated, so cold drinks sweat and hot drinks are hot to hold; for giveaways nobody minds, but for retail choose stainless. Sublimation has no white ink, so stick to dark, bold artwork. Wrap and bake in a convection oven around 350 F for 5 to 6 minutes, since aluminum heats faster than steel.
Single wall bottles lack reliable retail data, but many sublimation sellers price finished pieces at 2.5 to 3 times their total cost. For example, the $6.54 bottle plus $1.50 of ink and labor is $8.04, and 2.5 times that is $20.10, so a case of 48 returns $964.80 against $313.92. Our water bottle blanks guide compares materials.
