## Pricing
Custom label bottled water is priced based on order volume, bottle size, water type, label selection, and freight to your location. Freight is often the largest cost variable because product ships by pallet via freight carrier.
Approximate per-bottle ranges before freight:
- Small quantity plastic orders: $0.65 to $0.85 per bottle
- Pallet quantity orders: $0.40 to $0.60 per bottle
- Multi-pallet to truckload orders: $0.23 to $0.40 per bottle
- Aluminum bottles: $0.90 to $1.05 per bottle
Larger orders produce meaningfully lower per-bottle costs. Most repeat customers move to pallet quantities once they understand the volume economics. Request a quote at bottledwaterstore.com/request-a-quote for exact pricing including freight to your location.
Additional fees:
- One-time label setup fee covers design, formatting, and file storage for all future reorders
- Logo recreation at higher resolution: $50 (you receive all files)
## Lead times
Typical lead time is 3 to 5 weeks from order to delivery, depending on the season. Peak season runs April through August and trends toward the longer end of that range, so order early for summer events, tournaments, and hospitality programs. Reorders are typically faster because label artwork is already on file. Rush options are not guaranteed; contact customerservice@bottledwaterstore.com to discuss. Transit time is in addition to production lead time and varies by destination.

## Frequently asked questions
### Order process
How do I get pricing?
Complete the Request a Quote form at bottledwaterstore.com. We respond as quickly as possible. You can also email customerservice@bottledwaterstore.com.
How does payment work?
New customers require a credit card on file with a 50% deposit upfront. The remaining balance is due on label proof approval. Established customers receive a full invoice due on shipment.
If I provide my own label art do I still pay a setup fee?
Yes. Our graphic designers ensure the artwork is correctly formatted for production. This is a one-time setup fee. Your complete label is kept on file for all future reorders.
What are the artwork requirements?
Artwork must be 300 DPI or higher. Preferred formats are vector files or Adobe Illustrator files (.ai, .eps). Include any additional details such as website, phone number, or tagline.
My logo is not 300 DPI. What now?
Our graphic artist can recreate your logo at higher resolution for $50. You receive all files for use on any future projects.
Can you design my label from scratch?
Yes. Label design is included in the one-time setup fee. Our designers use your logo, graphic materials, and text to create a personalized label.
Will I see a proof before printing?
Yes. We prepare a full color digital proof for your review. We never print without your explicit approval.
