Custom Labeled Water for Event Venues

DrinkMore Custom Water produces custom labeled water for event venues, putting your branding on bottles or printing it directly onto custom printed cans, filled with award-winning purified water. Bottles start at six cases and turn in about two weeks, which suits a venue with a booking already on the calendar. Cans start at 18 cases and take about five weeks. Storage and drop-ship are available so you are not warehousing pallets between events.

Where Venue-Branded Water Shows Up

A venue is photographed constantly by people who have not booked it yet. Branded water puts your name in those photos without a sign. Many venues sell expensive, national brands that don’t help advance the success of their own venue. Branded Water is an easy way to showcase your venue and show the customer they are someplace special! Venues used branded products for a variety of reasons:

• Beverage Bar sales
• Welcome and registration tables
• Bar service and passed trays, where a printed can reads better than plastic
• Green rooms and artist hospitality
• Vendor and crew hydration
• Coolers at outdoor ceremonies and rooftop spaces
• Box office, coat check, and late-night service
• Giveaway items when touring potential customers

Bottles or Cans: Sizes, Minimums, and Turnaround

Bottles turn fast enough to quote against a booking already on the books. Cans fit passed-tray service and photograph better in a room you are trying to sell, which for a venue is usually the point.

Bottles are the faster and lower-commitment option — six cases gets you started and most orders turn in about two weeks. Cans take about five weeks because each design is printed directly onto the aluminum, and the result is a seamless, full-wrap look with no label edge. Either way, pricing improves as order size increases, so it is worth asking what the next tier looks like before you settle on a quantity. Timelines run from artwork approval and payment. Delivery is included inside our DC-area zone, and we ship anywhere in the continental United States through our freight partners.

Artwork needs to arrive print-ready as vector EPS or high-resolution PDF. We provide the dieline and print spec sheet, and our in-house art team can build a design from scratch if you do not have one.

Mellon Auditorium and the Opera House Shepherdstown

Mellon Auditorium runs venue-specific branding on their cans. For a landmark room hosting everything from galas to conferences, the can works as a small piece of the room’s identity rather than as generic catering stock.

We produce for the Opera House Shepherdstown on the same basis — stage and screen since 1910, with the venue’s own mark on every can.

The recurring theme with venues is that a design gets ordered once and used for years, because the branding is the building rather than any single event. That makes reorders simple and pricing better over time — repeat runs skip the setup charge entirely.

Common Questions

Can our clients order their own artwork through us?

Yes, and it is a good revenue line for a venue. Some venues keep house-branded stock and offer client-branded cans as an upgrade for weddings and corporate buyouts. Each client design is its own run with its own setup charge and minimum, so it works best for larger bookings.

Can you hold inventory between events?

Yes. We offer storage with case packout and drop-ship, so you can order at a volume that prices well without giving up floor space you need for events. Ask us for the current fee schedule.

What is the reorder turnaround once our design is approved?

Reorders skip the design cycle and the setup charge, so you are looking at production and delivery rather than a full lead time. Venues with predictable seasons usually set a standing schedule so stock lands ahead of their busy months, and ordering above 21 cases at a time brings the per-unit cost down.

Can you deliver directly to the venue on event day?

We deliver inside our DC-area zone and ship nationwide through freight partners. For event-day timing, talk to us early. Loading dock windows and event schedules are much easier to work around when they are part of the plan rather than a surprise, and freight timing outside the DMV is not something we can compress at the last minute.

Bottles or cans for an event venue?

Bottles cost less per unit, start at six cases, reseal so a guest can carry one through a long evening, and a full wraparound label gives your designer real room to work. Cans chill faster, stack tighter in coolers, and give a seamless printed surface that photographs well in a room you are trying to sell. Many venues run bottles as house stock and cans for premium bookings.
