ABOUT TRAIL SUPPLY
Soft flask sourcing. With the trail in mind.
Trail Supply (Hangzhou) Outdoor Co., Ltd. supplies OEM and ODM soft flasks for trail-running and hiking brands. We bring product selection, customisation and manufacturing coordination into one focused conversation.

THE DETAILS BEHIND THE FORMAT
A flask is more than its capacity.
A good brief starts with how the product will be carried, reached, refilled and cared for. These details help narrow the choice before artwork begins.
- Body shape and carry fit
- Review body length, width and shoulder shape against the intended pocket or hand-carry system. Check the fit with a full sample and again as it empties; capacity alone does not define compatibility.
- Refill access and component fit
- Compare the opening, cover, nozzle and collar as an assembly. A similar-looking cap is not proof that parts are interchangeable. Confirm the selected configuration on the sample.
- Cleaning, drying and clear instructions
- The opening affects access for cleaning. Agree the care instructions and any cleaning or temperature claims for the actual material and assembly, then carry that information through to the packaging.
HYDRATION ON THE MOVE
Carry. Sip. Keep moving.
Hand-carry formats give brands another way to approach shorter outings and fast-moving trail sessions. Discuss grip, strap position and access to the nozzle alongside the capacity your range needs.
SPECIALIST TRADING PARTNER / HANGZHOU
One brief. From first reference to agreed order.
We coordinate product selection, artwork and sampling with manufacturing partners. For OEM, start from an established format. For ODM, define the functional changes and review development feasibility before committing.
Orders start at 100 pieces, supported by million-unit production capacity through our manufacturing partners. Model, decoration and packing requirements determine the final quotation and schedule.
Make the sample the reference
Review dimensions, finish, print placement and component fit. Record the approved configuration so the quotation, sample and order describe the same product.
Agree the production details
Confirm quantity, packing, inspection requirements and delivery terms. Changes to the specification need to be reviewed against the sample and production schedule.
MATERIALS / CARE / PACKAGING
Useful decisions, supported by evidence.
Reusable soft flasks are made to be refilled. Choosing a suitable format, providing clear care instructions and avoiding unnecessary packaging are practical decisions to address in the brief.
Our range uses a BPA-free material platform. Testing, recycled-content and certification statements must match the material and configuration ordered. We review the available documentation against your market requirements.
