Why Stainless Steel Tumblers and Travel Mugs are Great Gifts for Guests and Employees
Selecting which type of promotional products to purchase can be difficult. You want to stay within your marketing budget but you want to go above and beyond for your guests and employees. Custom stainless steel tumblers and travel mugs are an amazing option.
Because they appeal to a wider demographic, hold up under repeated use, and last longer than products made from other materials, stainless steel products make an excellent choice for your next business event.
What is So Special About Stainless Steel Material?
Stainless steel is an exceptional material because of its strength, longevity, and quality. Unlike other materials such as glass and plastic, steel is difficult to destroy. If it is dropped, it will not crack or break, and it does not leak harmful chemicals into the contents, either.
Steel also does not corrode in the same way that aluminum, another popular drinkware material, does. Steel-made products do not rust and are extremely easy to clean, which is a major benefit for most people.
The benefits of stainless steel include:
- It is non-corrosive, so it won’t stain, rust or chip over time
- It insulates hot coffees, soups, and other beverages, keeping them warm throughout the day
- It will keep cold drinks like water and smoothies colder for longer
- It has a sleek and modern look
- It is easy to personalize with company logos, prints or engravings
- It is easy to hold without being too hot or cold to the touch

Choosing your stainless steel tumblers or travel mugs
Everyone has different tastes and requirements when it comes to beverages – and selecting a travel mug or tumbler is no different. Here are some of the options you might want to consider when trying to choose from our stainless steel tumblers and travel mugs:
Do you need a cup with a handle or one you can grip in your hand? Our double wall travel mugs and tumblers are safe to the touch, even when the contents are hot. We also have stainless steel travel mugs with plastic handles for easy drinking and pouring. Our Grab and Go handles are particularly useful for drinking on the go.
What finish would you prefer? You can choose classic silver or a colorful metallic tint. Your logo, text or image will be the main attraction, but you will need to choose a finish to complement your design. Some of our stainless steel tumblers are available in accent color options that will pop.
Which method of printing should you choose? The options are custom printing or laser engraving, and each has a unique finish. Printing is best for eye-catching, solid print with multiple colors, whereas engraving offers a subtler look for text and simple logo designs.
Which lid should you choose? We offer a variety of different caps and closures, including flip lids, screw tops, side-closing lids and push lids with locks. Even some of our basic stainless steel travel mugs come with side-locking, spill prevention lids, so there’s no danger of anyone ruining their best suit on their way to a meeting.
FAQs:

2. Are stainless steel tumblers safe?
Stainless steel tumblers are very safe due to having materials that are naturally found within the earth. Although once thought to be harmless, the plastic that some suppliers use to manufacture water bottles can cause health problems. Many plastic bottles contain bisphenol A (BPA), a harmful chemical that manufacturers have used since the 1960s. It can cause reproductive issues, cardiovascular disease, or neurological disorders, among other issues.
Stainless steel tumblers are much safer because they do not contain any of those harmful chemicals. Plus, the steel is more durable than glass products, which can become a safety hazard if they break.

At DiscountMugs.com, our number one goal is helping you to create the product of your dreams. That is why we have a creative team dedicated to ensuring that all logos, photos, and designs look great on our products.

We are consistently running specials on products across our website, including the custom steel travel mugs. For large orders, we do offer wholesale pricing and discounts.
These discounts vary from product to product and they are dependent on a variety of factors that typically stem from our suppliers’ capability to produce each unit at a lower cost.
If you are looking to buy in bulk, you can look at the individual pages of the products you are interested in ordering. Under Step 2 “Select Print Method,” you will see your options for bulk purchases. Discounts typically start when you buy 12 or more units and we can take orders of 1000+ units, as well.
5. Why does water taste better in stainless steel travel mugs?
Water tastes better in stainless steel travel mugs because it does not have any plastic chemicals leaking into it. Because many plastics contain harmful chemicals like BPA, they also come with a strange flavor sometimes.
Plastic is a manmade material that is made up of a variety of chemicals, compounds, and ingredients. Since this material is held together by synthetic compounds, the structure of the bottle can change over time as it is exposed to wear and tear.
On the other hand, steel is a simple combination of primarily two natural elements: iron and carbon. Unlike plastic, steel does not break down over time, causing unsavory chemicals to taint the water’s flavor.
6. Why should I consider custom steel tumblers for my business or trade show?
Custom steel tumblers are some of the most durable trade show products you can buy. Due to the material’s strength and exceptional manufacturing quality, they will not break easily. This is great for multiple reasons.
First, purchasing durable promotional materials makes it easier for you to transport them to trade shows, seminars, job fairs, and more. You will not have to worry about damaging your products. Second, personalized steel tumblers are the type of promotional product that everyone will be interested in keeping. They are functional, practical for on-the-go, and long-lasting.
Giving out stainless steel tumblers and travel mugs is a great marketing strategy. It ensures that your brand’s logo will be out on the town, seen throughout the day. It is always a good idea to associate your brand name with longevity and high-quality goods, even if they are merely promotional items.
