100% MADE IN THE NETHERLANDS
For over 25 years Tacx® custom water bottles have been designed, made and printed exclusively in The Netherlands. So proud of our Dutch heritage, in fact, in 2004 Tacx® bought the specialty water bottle maker when its former owner decided to manufacture their promotional bottles in Asia. A subsidiary of Tacx International B.V., a Garmin Ltd. company, the Tacx® bottle factory is 4 Pillar Audit Certified by Sedex, code ZC1060540, the world’s leading responsible supply chain company for assessing business ethics, environmental record, healthy and safe working conditions, and labor rights.
BPA, BPF, BPS AND PET(E) FREE
All Tacx® custom printed water bottles and caps are free of bisphenol-A (BPA), bisphenol-F (BPF), bisphenol-S (BPS), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE), harmful industrial chemicals to you and the planet that are added to most beverage and food containers. Moreover, Tacx® custom printed water bottles meet or exceed the more stringent European Community (EC) standards for food safety (i.e., compared to the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) standards), and are considered “food safe” in at least the European Union.
100% RECYCLABLE
In addition to being “lean made” with at least 20% factory recycled plastic, all Tacx® custom printed water bottles are 100% recyclable. Perhaps more important, however, in 2019 Tacx® introduced its more palatable for the planet-friendly Fuse™ and Shiva™ Bio, and Shiva™ O2 water bottles made from biodegradable plastic and CO2 reducing sugarcane, respectively. In 2020 Tacx® began making all Shiva™ caps from biodegradable plastics, and in 2024 Tacx® introduced its Daiya™ Bio and Daiya™ O2 water bottles.
EASY-CLEAN AND DISHWASHER SAFE
The big mouth openings of Tacx® custom printed water bottles make for easy-to-clean washing by hand. But if you are the type that prefers washing-up by machine, then you will be pleased to know that all Tacx® custom printed lifesyle, health and wellness, and sport water bottles are dishwasher safe to 40ºC (104ºF).
MORE COWBELL
Tacx® has the most comprehensive assortment of custom print water bottles in the industry. There are 29 bottle models, four (4) bottle sizes, 42 bottle colors, and 35 cap, ring and spout colors as standard. We cannot imagine more cowbell, but we are happy to Pantone PMS color-match water bottles, caps and spouts to your particular identity on orders of a minimum order quantity.
LOW MINIMUMS
In 2020 Tacx® established a lower minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom printed water bottles. The minimum order quantity was reduced by 67%, so you can now order the Tacx® Daiya™, Fuse™, Shanti™, Shiva™ or Shiva™ XT custom printed bidons for as few as 100 bottles.
COMPETITIVE PRICING
The standard cost drivers in determining the price of your Tacx® custom printed water bottle include the bottle and cap type, the number of print colors, and the quantity of production. When we sit down and do the math compared to the other leading, high-quality manufacturer based in Europe, Tacx® enjoys the most competitively-priced custom printed water bottles in the market.
5-7 DAYS PRINTING
Tacx® offers the fastest turn-around times on custom printed water bottles in the industry. Artwork is turned around in 24-48 hours, and bottles are printed in 5-7 business days. This is the actual leadtime, regardless of seasonal custom printed water bottle demand fluctuations, but Clients must account for The Netherlands business day, holidays and time zone, or UTC+1, and note that the day of shipping, Saturdays, Sundays and certain holidays are not considered business days.
2-3 DAYS SHIPPING
Once Tacx® custom water bottles have been printed, we are able to ship worldwide in 2-3 business days. We use UPS Worldwide Saver for this service, and our shipping rates are some of the most competitive in the industry. Please note that due to the logistical complications that arise from Clients arranging their own shipping, we no longer offer third-party shipping of custom printed water bottles. More important, we have found that due to the volume of shipping annually, the contracted rates with UPS are cheaper than those of our Client carriers.
#1 BOTTLE OF PROFESSIONAL CYCLING
If you are familiar with the phrase The proof is in the pudding, then you only have to look to the 11 of 18 UCI World Tour Teams who select Tacx® as their official bicycle water bottle. That is nearly two-thirds (61,1%) of the professional cycling teams competing at the highest level of the sport, and the reason for choosing Tacx® for your custom printed water bottles, if you had to choose one.
