HYV engraves directly onto the stainless steel body from a 25-unit minimum, which is the right choice whenever the mark has to outlast the bottle.Engraving has one hard limitation worth knowing before you commit artwork to it: it is monochrome.The laser removes coating to expose the metal underneath, so what you get is the tone of the steel — no colours, no gradients, and no fine detail below roughly a millimetre.
Key Facts
- Laser engraving removes coating to expose the steel; the mark is the metal tone.
- It is monochrome — colours, gradients and photographs cannot be reproduced.
- Detail below about a millimetre tends to close up.
- HYV engraved orders start at 25 units with a 7-14 day turnaround.
- Engraving does not affect the vacuum wall or the certification.

Flat, wide panels engrave best.A tapered body or a heavily textured finish gives the laser less usable area, which is why the plainer bottles in a range often carry a logo better than the premium ones.
Preparing artwork that survives the process
Send vector, not raster. An SVG, EPS or AI file scales to the panel.A JPEG of a logo pulled from a website will be traced by somebody, and the tracing is where thin serifs disappear.
Convert to a single solid colour. The output is monochrome regardless, so making that decision yourself is better than letting a machine flatten a gradient into something you did not choose.
Thicken the hairlines. Strokes below about a millimetre close up.Most logos have at least one element — a registered mark, a tagline, an outline — that needs thickening or removing.
Ask for the sample photographed on the actual finish. The same mark reads differently on a matte dark body and a gloss light one.
