Bulk Orders & Volume Pricing

Published volume pricing for organizations buying the Flask Vessel in quantity. The Flask Vessel is a 440 mL / 15 fl oz double-wall vacuum-insulated 304 stainless steel bottle drawn from the Erlenmeyer form, with engraved measurement detail and a matte powder-coat finish. Minimum order is 25 units and every unit includes one standard body laser-engraved logo. Pricing below is for organizational use — internal teams, gifting, events, recognition, recruitment, conferences — not for retail resale. Freight is quoted separately. Send a quantity and an in-hands date and we return a written quote within one business day.

USD. One standard body laser-engraved logo included at every tier. Freight quoted separately. Orders of 500+ units fulfilled from domestic stock carry a +$2.00 per unit surcharge; 1,000+ from domestic stock is generally a written quote. Interim Q4 2026 pricing, valid through 31 December 2026.

Take this to your purchasing team

If you need this in a document rather than on a page — to attach to a requisition, forward to procurement, or put in front of a committee — all three sheets are PDFs:

Current as of Q4 2026. Pricing revises 31 December 2026 — request a written quote to lock terms.

What is included

  • One standard body laser-engraved logo in the approved decoration area, at every quantity
  • Five standard colors — Ionic White, Carbon Black, Chlorophyll Green, Quantum Blue, Cryo Cyan — availability confirmed at quote
  • Leak-resistant lid and carry strap
  • Digital proof before production

Freight, artwork setup on new logos, and any optional upgrades below are quoted on top of the unit price.

Optional upgrades

The included logo is a single laser engraving on the body. If you want the piece to carry more than one mark, or to match a brand palette exactly, these are the additions available. All are priced per unit on top of the tier price and confirmed at quote.

Lid-top logo — +$3.00 per unit

A second mark engraved into the top face of the lid. Useful when the body carries the organization's seal and you want a department, team, program, or event mark alongside it — or when a cohort year or competition name belongs on the piece without crowding the primary logo.

Custom strap color — +$3.00 per unit

The carry strap produced in a specified color rather than the standard. This is usually the cheapest way to hit an exact brand color: organizations with published brand standards typically choose the closest powder-coat finish for the body and carry the precise color on the strap. May add lead time.

Full-color strap logo — +$4.00 per unit

A full-color mark printed on the strap. Where laser engraving is monochrome by nature, this is the option that reproduces a logo with multiple colors accurately. May add lead time.

Logo silicone base — +$6.00 per unit

A silicone boot on the base of the vessel carrying your mark. It protects the finish on bench and desk surfaces and adds a third branded surface. The most substantial of the upgrades, and the one that most changes how the finished piece reads in hand.

Full-color UV body logo — +$4.00 per unit

Full-color UV printing on the body in place of, or alongside, the standard engraving. Choose this when the logo depends on color to be recognizable. Engraving remains the more durable option.

Custom vessel colorway — written quote

A powder-coat color produced specifically for your program, outside the five standard finishes. Quantity-dependent and quoted per project.

Artwork and setup

  • New artwork setup: $65
  • Waived on orders of 250+ units
  • Waived on exact-repeat reorders — unchanged production artwork. Modified artwork requires new setup.

Send vector artwork. We return a digital proof before anything is produced. Build a mockup to see your logo on the vessel first.

Production and delivery

Route is selected by quantity, deadline, inventory, decoration, and destination. Domestic stock is evaluated first.

  • Domestic stock — fast-turn. U.S. inventory. Timing varies by quantity, decoration, inventory and destination. Freight quoted from the U.S. fulfillment point.
  • Planned factory / ocean — approximately 40–45 business days. Roughly 7 business days processing plus 25–35 business days ocean freight, quoted by project and destination.
  • Expedited factory / air — project-specific. Domestic stock is evaluated first; air freight and delivery timing confirmed by quote.

Factory-routed bulk projects needing delivery in under about 40 business days may require expedited air. Final in-hands timing is confirmed in writing before you commit.

Purchasing and terms

  • Written quotes returned within one business day, itemized and suitable for attaching to a requisition
  • Purchase orders accepted; net 30 available on approved institutional accounts
  • Government purchase cards and SmartPay accepted
  • W-9 provided on request for vendor setup
  • Tax exemption: send your exemption certificate with the quote request and we apply it before invoicing
  • Freight quoted separately in every case

Buying to resell rather than for your own organization?

The pricing on this page is for organizations buying the Flask Vessel for their own use. Resale runs on separate terms, and the sheets are issued directly rather than published — so what you quote from is current and matched to your account.

  • Retail, museum, and university store buyers — send your resale or exemption certificate for retail wholesale terms and the standard assortment with SKUs and GTINs.
  • ASI, PPAI, and GAPP distributors — send your affiliation number and the programme you're quoting. Start at the Distributor Toolkit.

Write to wholesale@thecalculatedchemist.com or register for a trade account, and we'll send your current sheet within one business day.

Evaluate one first

A decorated spec sample is $25, including one standard laser-engraved logo and continental U.S. ground shipping. The cost is credited toward a qualifying first order. If you are specifying this for a committee or a procurement process, order the sample before the quote.

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum order?
25 units, at $30.00 per unit, with one standard body laser-engraved logo included. Below 25 units, order a single $25 spec sample or buy at retail.

Is the logo engraving really included in the unit price?
Yes. One standard body laser-engraved logo is included at every quantity from 25 up. New artwork carries a one-time $65 setup, waived at 250+ units and on exact-repeat reorders. Additional marks — lid, strap, silicone base — are the per-unit upgrades listed above.

How long does a bulk order take?
It depends on route. Domestic stock is fast-turn; planned factory production via ocean runs about 40–45 business days; expedited air is project-specific. Because approval cycles are usually slower than production, send your in-hands date with the quote request and we confirm the schedule in writing before you commit.

Can we pay by purchase order or government purchase card?
Both. We accept purchase orders with net 30 on approved institutional accounts, government purchase cards and SmartPay, and provide a W-9 for vendor setup. Send a school, district, or institutional tax exemption certificate with your request and we apply it before invoicing.

Is freight included in these prices?
No. Freight is quoted separately in every case, because it depends on quantity, route and destination. Send your shipping ZIP code with the quote request.

Can we buy at these prices to resell?
No — this pricing is for non-retail organizational use. For museum, gift shop, university store, and specialty retail wholesale, or for promotional-product distributor programs, open a trade account and we will send the relevant pricing.

How long is this pricing valid?
These are interim Q4 2026 rates, valid through 31 December 2026. Quotes issued in that window hold to the quoted terms.
