Klean Kanteen offers a full line of products and a range of print capabilities to help your vision become a reality. Learn about the process that works best for your artwork and project.

Digital Printing

Your artwork can be placed on the front and back or wrap all the way around the Kanteen. Using the CMYK Digital printer allows you to tap into thousands of colors printed at once. This virtually allows you to print photo like images in a single location or wrapped 360 degrees around the Kanteen.

Artwork: Full-color (CMYK + varnish). Print the full length of a product (up to 8.6") in a single print cycle. Top-to-Bottom print technology. At the same time, print full-wrap images up to 360° around.

Colors: Brushed Stainless (no paint), select stock colors, approved Klean Coat colors. Custom bottle colors are available at higher quantities. 

Lead Time:
4–6 Weeks after approval. Brushed Stainless and select stock colors (printed in the US).

Laser Marking, Screen and Pad Printing

For this kind of printing, artwork must be scalable vector graphics with specified pantones. AI/EPS preferably as a PDF. Don’t have a vector? No worries, send the largest resolution file you have and we will have it vectored. Fees may apply.

Colors

We select our ink colors from the Pantone deck. Pantone is the worldwide language for communicating colors. If you’re not familiar with Pantones, simply provide colors using standard color names, i.e., red, green, etc. You may select custom colors from the Pantone swatches at: pantone.com/color-finder.com
