Learn exactly what the Klean Kanteen personalization fee includes, how laser engraving works, and what you get for the added cost.
Quick answer
The Klean Kanteen personalization charge is a $7.44 fee for laser etching a name, text, or icon onto eligible bottles, cups, and tumblers. It covers the customization service and is added to your cart when you personalize a product.
What the personalization fee includes
The $7.44 charge is not for the product itself but for the laser engraving service. You pay this fee on top of the item price when you add personalization during checkout. The fee covers the setup, labor, and materials needed to etch your chosen design into the stainless steel surface.
Because the engraving is done by laser, it is permanent and will not peel, fade, or wash off. This makes it ideal for labeling bottles for school, work, or outdoor activities.
What you can personalize
You can add a name, short text, or a simple icon graphic. The exact options (fonts, icon choices) are shown during the personalization step on the product page. The fee applies regardless of whether you choose text only or text plus an icon.
Limitations to know
Not every Klean Kanteen product is eligible for personalization. The option appears only on select bottles, cups, and tumblers. Also, the engraving area is limited, so very long text or complex images may not fit. Check the product page for eligibility before adding to cart.
Frequently asked questions
- How much is the personalization fee?
- The fee is $7.44 (catalog comparison price $12.00). This is a one-time charge per personalized item added to your cart.
- Can I personalize any Klean Kanteen product?
- No. Only select bottles, cups, and tumblers show the personalization option on their product page. If the option is not visible, that item cannot be engraved. Always check the product page for the personalization option before ordering.
- What designs can I engrave?
- You can engrave a name, short text, or an icon graphic. The available fonts and icons are shown during the personalization step. The laser etches the design permanently into the stainless steel.
- Is the engraving removable?
- No. Laser engraving is permanent and will not peel, fade, or wash off. It is ideal for labeling but cannot be undone. Double-check your spelling and design before confirming, as the engraving is not reversible.
- Do I pay the fee if I don't personalize?
- No. The $7.44 charge is only added to your cart when you choose to personalize a product. Buying the same item without personalization costs the standard price with no extra fee.
