What Type Of Customization Should Be Avoided?

When reviewing the different ways to apply your custom hydro flask logo, you don't want to be looking at anything that involves cutting, drilling, or otherwise damaging the body of the Hydro Flask.

The vacuum insulation is the key reason we all love hydro flasks in the first place, so avoid options that may potentially puncture the stainless steel.

If a Hydro Flask has a hole drilled into it, it's ruined. Hydro Flask has a list of recommendations about what heat and cold you should or shouldn't expose your Hydro Flask to and we need to keep that in mind as we explore all the creative options.

Are Stickers A Good Option?

Stickers are the simplest customization you can find on the market today! In fact, some companies make stickers specifically for Hydro Flasks due to how popular they've become.

Stickers are sometimes associated with children, and, rightfully, any younger Hydro Flask users should enjoy stickering up their Hydro Flask to make it their own. But even adults can enjoy stickers. Nothing quite says, 'been there, done that' to an outdoor adventurer than a load of National Park stickers decorating the outside of a Hydro Flask.

Stickers allow for the widest variety of customization possible. Any printed image can be made into a sticker. Favorite scene from a movie—done. Hilarious meme—done. Goofy picture of your dog—done.

Are There Any Downsides To Using Stickers?

Unfortunately, there is a downside to strickly using stickers. You see, stickers will degrade with time. The adhesives they use are not meant to match the lifespan of a Hydro Flask, and while decals are sturdier than most stickers, even they only last around three years if left outdoors regularly.

One type of sticker worth considering despite the degradation is a reflective sticker. If you plan on being out after dark with your hydro flask, it's a good idea to have something reflective on. Reflective stickers can not only add that additional protection to your person but can also help you spot your hydro flask in the dark.

What Are Some Crafty Hydro Flask Customization Options?

If you want to own a work of art, painting the entire exterior is also something that personalizes your hydro flask beyond compare. However, covering the powder coat of a Hydro Flask with paint is not recommended if you plan on using it regularly. However, with a painted hydro flask, you will own a personalized art piece.

Custom paracord handles for Hydro Flasks exist as well. These handles fit around the existing mouth and lid without disturbing either and can be a great utility, allowing it to be carried more comfortably. You can even make your own paracord if you're crafty!

How About Laser Engraving?

Having your custom design or hydro flask logo laser engraved is perhaps the most efficient personalization method. Even a simple form of engraving like etching your name down the side will look amazing—like it was manufactured just for you!

Engraving is a permanent option that will last the lifetime of the hydro flask. Best of all a professional laser engraving will never wash away, chip or fade like other options, and it doesn't harm your hydro flask either as there is no puncturing.

When it comes to gift-giving such as for the holidays, birthdays and even as promotional items or client gifts, laser engraving your personalized hydro flask logo, text or design is one of the best methods to ensure a customized gift that will delight every time.
