2026 Award
Best Custom Bottled Water Nationwide
My Label Water won the 2026 Best Custom Bottled Water Nationwide award.
Why this business was selected
My Label Water earned this award on pricing transparency and disclosed production standards, the two factors this category weights most heavily. Its per-bottle pricing is published on the site rather than gated behind a sales call, plastic starting at $0.29 per bottle and aluminum at $1.25 per bottle, letting a business estimate real cost before requesting a quote.
It discloses that bottling takes place in FDA-regulated facilities, with SQF certification at some facilities depending on the program, rather than making an unverifiable general quality claim. The company is disclosed as family-owned and multi-generational, operating since 2001, with CEO Dave Phelps named and pictured on the site rather than the business operating as an anonymous storefront.
It also publicly displays specific, checkable client names, including Netflix and Hyatt Regency, alongside a 4.5-star Google rating, rather than relying on unattributed testimonials alone. Shipping terms are also disclosed upfront: every order ships nationwide by palletized freight, quoted by quantity and destination, with stated production timelines for first orders and reorders.

Custom plastic bottles start at $0.29 per bottle at qualifying volume and custom aluminum bottles start at $1.25 per bottle, both with free in-house label design and full-color waterproof labels. The company also offers rPET bottles made from recycled plastic.
Orders ship nationwide by palletized freight, with first orders typically shipping three to four weeks after artwork approval and reorders in seven to fifteen business days.
Selection criteria for custom bottled water companies
Candidates are drawn from companies that bottle and custom-label drinking water for businesses and events nationwide. Each is checked for disclosed company history and ownership rather than an anonymous storefront, published per-bottle pricing and order terms available before a business commits, and disclosed production standards, such as whether bottling takes place in FDA-regulated facilities.
Particular weight is given to whether pricing, minimum order, and shipping terms are stated plainly rather than requiring a sales call to uncover, and whether claimed reach and client base are supported by named, checkable evidence, such as publicly displayed client names, rather than vague trust language.
