How to Customize Nalgene Bottles

One of the most popular accessories among outdoor enthusiasts and college students alike is the Nalgene water bottle, with its superfluously indestructible nature and wide-mouth opening which is perfectly suited for ice cubes. Nalgene began as a plastic container company for scientific storage and later expanded to the outdoor camping industry, originally producing large, opaque, white, semi-soft water bottles. They have since progressed to an entire panoply of water bottle designs and styles, used by everything from sports teams, universities and golf courses to non-profit organizations. Customizing these water bottles is an excellent way to make your Nalgene bottle stand out in the crowd.
