Frequently Asked Questions
Is 24 cases too many for a small church?
A church with 100 weekly attendees using 50 bottles per Sunday will go through 24 cases in about 12 weeks. The water has a 2-year shelf life, so there is no rush. At $150 total, it is a modest investment even for small congregations.
Can we put a Bible verse on the label?
Yes. You can put any text on the label. Bible verses, church mottos, event details, or inspirational messages all work. Keep text brief — the label is small.
Do churches get a discount?
CustomWater.com’s pricing starts at $0.26/bottle for all customers. Volume discounts apply at higher quantities. Contact them directly at (877) 891-4274 to ask about nonprofit or church pricing.
Can we use custom water as a fundraiser item?
Some churches sell branded water at events as a fundraiser. At $0.26 cost and $1.00-$2.00 selling price, the margin is strong. Check local regulations on food/beverage sales at events.
