Hydration With Purpose—Designing Branded Drinkware That Gives Back
Why We Love Welly
In a world overflowing with generic promotional products, Welly stands out by doing something refreshingly different. This Pittsburgh-based brand isn’t just making reusable bottles—it’s crafting a movement around sustainable hydration, elevated design, and global impact. For companies seeking branded merchandise that reflects their values, Welly offers a compelling blend of form, function, and purpose.
Design First, Earth Friendly
Welly bottles are a masterclass in minimalist design and eco-conscious engineering. Each bottle features:
- Triple-wall vacuum insulation to keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours or hot for 14.
- 18/8 food-grade stainless steel for durability and safety.
- Sustainably sourced bamboo accents that add warmth and texture.
- Removable stainless steel infusers for tea or fruit, enhancing versatility and wellness.
The result? A bottle that’s as beautiful as it is functional—perfect for corporate gifting, employee swag, or retail-ready branded merchandise.
Sustainability That’s More Than Skin Deep
Welly’s commitment to sustainability goes beyond materials:
- Reusable by design: Every bottle helps eliminate hundreds of single-use plastics.
- BPA-free and toxin-free: Prioritizing health and safety.
- Responsibly made: Welly bottles are manufactured in vetted facilities in China that meet their quality assurance standards.
While Welly is headquartered in Pittsburgh, there is no confirmed U.S.-based manufacturing facility yet—so the claim about building one in Pittsburgh has been removed for accuracy.
Hydrating the World—One Bottle at a Time
Welly’s mission is rooted in social impact. For every bottle sold, the company donates at least 1% of sales to clean water projects through charity: water. These donations have funded:
- Wells and hand pumps in Ethiopia and Malawi
- School piped systems in Bangladesh
- Community health training and sanitation education
This isn’t just a feel-good add-on—it’s a core part of the brand’s DNA. Welly was founded by Ben Kander in honor of his mother, Ellen, whose legacy of compassion and sustainability lives on through every product.
Branded Merchandise That Tells a Story

- Custom engraving options allow for personalization at scale.
- Color variants and sleek packaging make Welly bottles ideal for gifting.
- Trackable impact: Customers can see how their purchase contributes to clean water access through Welly’s published project updates.
Whether it’s for employee onboarding, client appreciation, or event giveaways, Welly bottles elevate branded merchandise from transactional to transformational.
