Client Background: From Cross-Border E-commerce Brand to Professional Drinkware Solution Provider
The client is a North America-based consumer goods company specializing in cross-border e-commerce. Initially, they sold a variety of kitchen and home essentials through platforms like Amazon and Shopify. As the global shift toward sustainability gained momentum, the brand noticed a growing consumer demand for reusable, non-toxic, and eco-friendly drinkware. In response, they decided to expand their product line by launching their own branded series of stainless steel insulated bottles.
However, during the initial sampling phase, the brand faced several challenges:
- Products from multiple suppliers had issues such as uneven welding, leakage, and unpleasant odors
- Poor customization service — logos were blurry and packaging lacked creativity
- Delayed lead times, disrupting the brand’s new product launch schedules
- A lack of necessary certifications for the European and U.S. markets, such as LFGB, FDA approval, and BPA-free documentation
Confronted with these issues, the brand shifted its focus to a more experienced, systemized manufacturer with full-service capabilities — EverichHydro.

As an insulated bottle manufacturer with over 20 years of experience, EverichHydro earned the client’s trust through its one-stop OEM/ODM capabilities, strict quality control system, and stable, large-scale production and delivery capacity.

Key Metrics at a Glance:
Cooperation Phase | Sample Lead Time | Initial Order Quantity | Sales Performance (within 3 months) |
