Promotional drinks in Switzerland: costs, minimum order and timeline

What drives the price per can

There is no meaningful flat rate for custom drinks: a 504-can campaign is calculated differently from an annual volume for a drinks line. These factors go into every quote:

• Volume: from 504 cans, with the unit price dropping as volume grows.
• Flavour: energy drink, isotonic sports drink, apple spritzer or water.
• Format: 250 ml slim can or 500 ml can; water comes as 330 ml and 500 ml PET.
• Packaging: loose on pallets or shipping boxes for 1, 2 or 3 cans at CHF 2.90 per box.
• Logistics: delivery to one location, or picking and individual dispatch.

Straight to the topic: Custom energy drink – 250 ml slim or 500 ml, full 360° print, from 504 cans.

What is free of charge

Design drafts and samples are free, so you can see how your brand looks on the can before you commit. Layout templates for energy drink, isotonic and apple spritzer are available as PDF and InDesign downloads.

Timeline: about 3 weeks after design approval

Production usually takes about three weeks from final design approval. The critical part of the schedule is almost always the internal approval loop, not production. Plan extra time for sign-off.

• Week 0: enquiry, quote, choice of flavour and format.
• Week 0–1: design draft, corrections, approval.
• Week 1–4: production and quality control.
• Then: delivery to your location in Switzerland.

How to prepare your enquiry

The more precise the enquiry, the faster the quote. Ideally include: volume, flavour, format, target date, delivery location and your logo as a vector file. If the occasion is already fixed (trade fair, anniversary, recruiting campaign), we can suggest a suitable format and packaging.
