Elemental Drinkware Guide: Every Bottle, Tumbler and Mug Compared

Updated 2026-11-08 from Elemental's current product data.

Elemental makes drinkware in a handful of lines, and the names do not say much. In short: Iconic is the sport bottle with a flip spout, Classic the screw-cap bottle with a bamboo lid, Core the value bottle with the most colors, Splash the plastic kids bottle, Artisan the ceramic-lid coffee tumbler, Commuter the big tumbler with a handle, Recess the wine and lowball tumbler and Summit the camp mug. The table below compares every model we sell with your logo, using Elemental's own product data.

Double wall or triple wall?

Most Elemental steel items use TrueBarrier insulation, triple-wall on Iconic, Artisan, Commuter 40, Recess and Summit, and double-wall on Classic, Core and Commuter 32. In practice the difference shows in the hot rating: triple-wall bottles are rated 12 hours hot, while Artisan and Recess tumblers, which are open at the top, are rated 6 hours hot and 18 hours cold. Splash and Totsy are Tritan plastic and are not insulated.

Laser engraving vs printing

Laser engraving burns through the powder coat and shows the steel underneath. It cannot peel or fade, but it is always one color (the steel color), and it is not available on Tritan plastic. A one-color print can be matched to your brand color, and a full-color print reproduces gradients and photos for a small added charge per piece. On most stainless steel items one of the two is included in the price.

Where your logo goes

Every Elemental product already carries the Elemental logo. On bottles, mugs and most tumblers your logo goes on the opposite side; on the Commuter it goes on the same side as the Elemental mark. Imprint areas range from about 1.75 inches wide on the Summit mug to about 3 by 7 inches on the Iconic Sport 32oz bottle.

How many to order

Gift sets start at 12 sets, most steel items at 24 or 25 pieces and Tritan items at 50. Prices drop at each break in the table on the product page, usually at 75, 150 and 500 pieces for single items.
