CORPORATE GIFTING · ENGINEERING FIRMS

The spec sheet is the sales pitch

The Flask Vessel is a double-wall vacuum-insulated stainless bottle drawn from the Erlenmeyer form, laser-engraved with your mark. Engineering firms use it for project completion gifts, licensure and promotion recognition, client gifts and recruiting.

  • 25-unit minimum
  • Standard body logo included
  • Project names and dates engraved

01 · WHERE IT WORKS

What engineering firms use it for

Engineers evaluate objects by how they are made, not by what is printed on them. Double-wall vacuum insulation, 304 stainless, a leak-resistant lid and engraving cut into the powder coat — the build is the argument.

PROJECTS

Closeouts, ribbon cuttings, commissioning

Marking a delivered project with the name and completion date engraved on the object.

LICENSURE

PE licensure and promotion

Passing the PE, making principal, or hitting a years-of-service mark — engraved individually.

CLIENTS

Client, owner and partner gifts

An object that reads as chosen by someone who respects the profession, not bought in bulk.

RECRUITING

Career fairs and offer packages

Career fairs, internship cohorts and offer packages, where the giveaway is competing with every other firm's.

ONBOARDING

New-hire kits across offices

One programme repeated across offices, ordered against artwork already on file.

SOCIETIES

Technical society events

Conference booths and chapter events for an audience that will inspect the seam welds.

02 · CUSTOMIZATION

What you are specifying

One standard body laser-engraved logo is included at every quantity. Project names, dates and individual recipient names are where a recognition programme gets personal.

Where a gift is billed to a project rather than to overhead, the itemized quote separates units, decoration, setup and freight so it can be coded cleanly.

04 · ORDERING

From artwork to delivery

  1. Quantity and deadline

    Send the unit count, required in-hands date, destination ZIP code, finish and any name or project list.

  2. Production proof

    A digital proof is issued before anything is produced, including the name layout where one applies.

  3. Approval and production

    Production begins once the proof is approved in writing. Artwork is kept on file for later runs.

  4. Delivery

    Freight is quoted by route and destination and confirmed before you commit.

Route is selected by quantity, deadline, inventory, decoration and destination, and domestic stock is evaluated first. Domestic stock is fast-turn U.S. inventory; planned factory production via ocean runs about 40–45 business days. Expedited air is project-specific. Recipient-name engraving adds handling confirmed with the quote. These are production and transit estimates, not arrival dates — closeout ceremonies and career fairs have fixed dates, so send yours early and the schedule is confirmed in writing before you commit.

05 · COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Can we engrave a project name or completion date?

Yes. Project names, dates and individual recipient names can be engraved alongside the firm's logo. The layout is proofed before production.

What is the minimum order?

25 units, with one standard body laser-engraved logo included. Per-unit pricing by quantity band is published on Bulk Orders. Below 25 units, request a $25 decorated spec sample or buy at retail.

How is individual name engraving priced?

It is variable-data work rather than a fixed add-on, so it is quoted per project from your supplied list, along with its effect on the schedule. The included body logo is unaffected.

Can you meet a closeout or career-fair deadline?

Often, but it depends on quantity, decoration and route, so it is confirmed rather than assumed. Domestic stock is fast-turn; planned factory production via ocean runs about 40–45 business days, and name engraving adds handling. Send your in-hands date with the quantity and what is achievable is confirmed in writing.

Is there an artwork setup charge?

New artwork carries a one-time $65 setup. It is waived on orders of 250+ units and on qualifying exact-repeat artwork, meaning unchanged production artwork. Modified artwork or a complex redraw may be quoted separately.

Why this over standard promotional drinkware?

Engineers notice build quality immediately. A single-wall promotional bottle reads as value engineering; a double-wall vacuum-insulated 304 stainless vessel reads as a firm that builds things properly.
