So, every time you drink out of your GiveMeTap bottle, you get a little happier!

GiveMeTap bottles are airport security friendly. Just remember to empty the bottle before you go through security.

GiveMeTap metallic bottles are dishwasher safe.

Our matte bottles are hand-wash recommended only. Running any of the GiveMeTap matte collection bottles in a dishwasher will cause paint to chip.

Cleaning recommendations: Our bottles are simply cleaned with a mixture of hot water and soap. Alternatively, you can use effervescent tablets, especially for those hard to reach places. To keep your bottle as fresh as you got it, we suggest rinsing your bottle after every use and to always dry and store your GiveMeTap bottle with the top off. 

Storing: After washing your GiveMeTap bottle, we recommend air drying it upside down and storing it with the lid off.

For the best printing, vector artwork is best (EPS, AI, or SVG files). This ensures that your design comes out look sharp on the bottle.

Yes – although this can only be done on our metallic bottles because we use a special digital printing process.

Using our bottles in place of plastic cups has a ‘carbon payback’ of 14 weeks, or 28 weeks in the likely scenario that plastic cup use is halved. Helping staff reduce plastic waste improves wider engagement in the sustainability agenda. 

A couple of ways:

Reduce colours: for PAD printing, the pricing increases for each additional colour you have in your design. if you can consolidate colors in your artwork and creatively use the color of the shirt in your design, you will reduce costs

- Increase Quantity : We have are volume discounts at standard quantities (50, 100, 250, 500+) so you may be able to get into a lower price tier just by adding a few more items.

Every bottle that is purchased, we take 20% of that and add it to a donation fund. When this fund reaches $6000 we contract local workers to begin the drilling of a water borehole. Each water pump we install on average provides 850 people with clean drinking water.

GiveMeTap was founded in 2011 by Edwin Broni-Mensah while at university. With turning 25 years old on Edwin's mind he set out on a quest to get a six-pack because he believed that if he didn't get abs by 25 he'd never have them! To achieve his goal, drinking 5 liters of water a day was a requirement; however, finding places water refill his bottle was difficult. He was frustrated with the constant rejection from local cafes who would repeatedly say "buy bottled water instead". To him that was both expensive and wasteful. Combining that with stories of his father growing up with little to no access to clean water set Edwin on a mission. 

GiveMeTap was launched with a simple idea: Every bottle purchased gives you free water refills from a network of local shops, and provides 5 years of clean drinking water to a person in Africa. Water for you. Water for everyone. To learn more about our model, visit our About Us overview.

GiveMeTap is a for-profit company with giving at its core. Giving is in our name, and is not simply us doing CSR. The company was started with giving back our core focus and is why we decided to work directly with NGO's on the ground to truly connect with the communities and issues they were facing. We didn't want to just give to large charity and let them decide how to use the funds. 

With our Water for You. Water for Everyone mission, GiveMeTap sets out to provide great value for our customers and transform them into benefactors. This allows us to sustainably grow our giving efforts rather than depending on fundraising for support. 

We want to create such major impact that we can put ourselves out of business because the water crisis has been solved. On top of growing our business, it’s incredibly important for us to show others that business is a force for good and to inspire a new generation of social enterprises to grow and become the largest companies in the world.

We currently don't have retail partners. We really would love to change that though. If you're a retailer, please contact us!

We stand behind our products and service, so if you have any problems due to defects in the product please contact us and we will fix it for you. In instances where we were not provided with a Pantone colour and had to make our best guess we can not fix this.

Because all custom GiveMeTap orders are made uniquely for you or your company, they are not eligible for returns. Additionally, colors may vary slightly from your screen to real-life and from material to material.

We offer dropshipping only for custom co-branded bottle orders. Simply place your order and we will store you bottles at our warehouse. Once you have some orders, let us know and we will get the bottles sent to your customers. We will charge you for the shipping and a $3.50 handling fee per order.
