Summer is fun, but you also have to protect your skin! Print your logo on custom sunscreen, and your visitors will always have SPF coverage when it’s needed.
Are you ready to order custom sunscreen? Follow these design tips!
Order custom sunscreen for…
Gift Shops
Do you manage an amusement park, zoo, or some other outdoor venue? Keep custom sunscreen bottles in the gift shop for your visitors. They’ll be thankful for this lifeline if they forget their sunscreen at home.
Pool Party
You can’t truly enjoy a day by the pool without sunscreen. Customize a few bottles and hand them out as favors before the party even starts. You can also sell them in the concession stand if you work at a community pool or water park.
Beach or Lake
Protect your skin for a day by the water with personalized bottles of sunscreen. A water-resistant lotion is a must for jet skiing, building sandcastles, and even scuba diving.
Campgrounds
Camping is so much fun, but you’re really exposed to the sun when you’re in the great outdoors. Make sure everyone stays safe by keeping plenty of sunscreen in stock at your campground.
Summer Weddings
Say “I do” to sun protection and hand out mini bottles as wedding favors to all of your guests. Remember to keep a few extras on hand to bring with you to the honeymoon!
Bikeathons
Go the distance and stay safe at the same time with sunscreen bottles for all the participants. You can put these right in the entry bag before the race even starts!
Music Festivals
It’s not always easy to find shade at a music festival. Are you a sponsor or do you have a merch tent? Sell bottles of sunscreen to all of the concert goers!
Sports Stadiums
Not every team is lucky enough to play at a shaded stadium like the Toronto Blue Jays or the New Orleans Saints. Sell sunscreen at your concession stands along with the souvenir cups and hot dogs. This is also a great idea for minor league teams or even little leagues.
Company Picnics
Give out sunscreen bottles with your logo to every employee when they arrive. From there, plan some fun outdoor teambuilding activities like water balloon fights or sand volleyball!
Dermatologists
Take a page out of the dentist’s book and start handing out goody bags at the end of a visit. You can include mini bottles of sunscreen inside as a reminder for your patients to take care of their skin.
Custom Sunscreen Design Tips
- Choose SPF 15 or higher.
- Print a design or text on the label.
- Be colorful.
Tip 1. Choose SPF 15 or Higher
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that you always use a sunscreen that is SPF 15 or higher. You should also look for “broad spectrum” to stay protected against both UVA and UVB rays.
Don’t worry about whether or not your sunscreen smells like coconuts, or if the bottle is a fun shape. Focus instead on how well the lotion will protect the skin from the sun!
Tip 2. Print on the Label
Your custom design will look best if it’s printed on a label that wraps around the bottle. Here are some ideas of what you can print!
Logo
Your company logo is what sets you apart. Print it nice and big on your sunscreen bottles. It should be the main focus of your design.
Summery Image
Palm trees, water, blue skies… these things scream “summer!” Find a nice outdoor image and print your company’s name along with it.
Catchy Slogan
A slogan is a quippy way to tell people what you’re all about! If you have enough space, squeeze it onto the label with the rest of your design.
Contact Information
Make sure your phone number, email, or address is printed somewhere on the label. After all, how else will people know how to get ahold of you?
Sunscreen bottles are pretty small, so be picky about how your final design looks. The important information should be visible at a quick glance.
Tip 3. Be Colorful
Sunscreen is one of the best items to customize since there are many full color options available. This means you can use as many ink colors as you want in your design without having to pay extra.

Now’s not the time to be boring. Get creative and choose bright eye-catching colors that will get your brand noticed!
The Bottom Line
The CDC reports that less than 15% of men and 30% of women use sunscreen regularly when outside for longer than 1 hour. That’s not nearly enough!
You can do your part in keeping everyone safe by advertising with custom bottles of sunblock. It’s one of the best promotional items when the sun is burning bright!
