Custom ice buckets are printed tubs and pails that chill bottles and cans on a bar, a patio or a rental table while your logo sits in front of guests. Bars, breweries, restaurants and event rental companies order them, and so do party sponsors. Sizes include a 32 oz rum bucket and a 5 gallon party bucket for a crowd.
Beer, wine and party buckets by style
A plastic party bucket is a common starting point for custom beer buckets. The 220 oz. Plastic Party Bucket w/ Handles holds 8 bottles and measures 10.25"w x 8.625"h. The 176 oz. Plastic Brew Bucket lists six stock colors. For metal, the 5 Liter Beverage Bucket with Two Side Bottle Openers is galvanized iron with an opener on each side. The Customized 15 Qt Galvanized Metal Tub is a bigger metal tub at 20" x 11 3/4" x 7 1/4". Light-up styles such as the White LED Bottle Service Ice Bucket suit clubs, galas and bottle service.
For wine, the Collapsible Silicone Wine Cooler & Ice Bucket with Stable Base stores in a small space, and the 125 oz. Plastic Champagne Ice Bucket w/ Handle has a clear body that shows the bottle.
Stackable buckets and small bucket cups
If storage space is tight, look at stackable styles. The 6-Quart Plastic Ice Bucket, Stackable, USA Made is polypropylene, FDA approved and BPA free, and the listing says it is top-rack dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended to protect the imprint. For single servings, the Plastic Rum Bucket w/ Mix and Match Handle (32 oz) stacks too, and you pick the handle color separately. Small pails like this work as bucket cups for drinks or snacks.
How your logo is printed
Screen printing is the method listed on the Party Bucket, the 7 Quart Bucket and the 15 Qt tub. The 5 Liter Beverage Bucket and the Plastic Rum Bucket also list a digital full color process, and the 5 Quart Stainless Steel Party Tin with Neoprene Sleeve prints full color on its sleeve. The collapsible silicone cooler takes a one-color pad print on its lid. Print areas differ, so check the product page before you build artwork.
Ordering
Minimums depend on the style. The Customized 15 Qt Galvanized Metal Tub lists 24, and the 6-Quart Plastic Ice Bucket lists 108. Five business days is the most common production time here, and some styles list 7 or 10. Production starts when you approve your free digital proof, and you can ask for changes until it looks right. Pair a bucket with bottle openers and corkscrews, browse more barware, or add can coolers for guests who carry their own drink.
