Product Description
The Tire Water Bottle is a 750ml food-grade silicone collapsible water bottle with exterior styling based on a stacked automotive tire profile. The body is formed from multiple silicone rings, each with raised tread grooves replicating the lateral tread pattern of a real tire — the texture is molded into the silicone, not applied as a sleeve or printed. The base of the bottle fits a chrome-finish alloy wheel cap, completing the wheel-and-tire visual from the bottom view.
The accordion structure of the silicone body allows the bottle to compress from its full 23.5cm height to 16cm when empty, reducing storage volume in a gym bag, backpack, or car cup holder. The PP screw lid at the top provides a standard drink opening. The appearance is registered under Chinese design patent ZL201930315811.4, which is relevant for buyers building an exclusive product line or filing for local market IP protection.

The tire bottle exterior is protected by Chinese appearance patent ZL201930315811.4. For buyers sourcing this design for their own branded product line, the patent documentation is available as part of the supplier relationship. Buyers entering new markets can discuss regional IP registration arrangements — this is a differentiator over generic novelty bottles with no IP protection.
The lateral tread grooves cover the entire body of the bottle across all stacked rings. The pattern is molded into the silicone during production — it is a three-dimensional surface texture, not a printed graphic or applied sleeve. The tread depth and groove detail are consistent across the bottle regardless of color. This means the texture remains intact through washing, UV exposure, and normal use without fading or peeling.
The bottom cap is styled as a chrome-finish five-spoke alloy wheel, visible when the bottle stands upright and clearly identifiable from the side when laid down. This detail completes the tire-and-wheel visual concept and is a photographically distinct element for retail listings. The base cap is removable for cleaning.
The accordion silicone body compresses to 16cm height when empty — reducing the standing bottle height by approximately 32%. A 750ml rigid bottle of the same capacity would be 22–25cm tall. The collapsed form fits in a jacket pocket or the side pouch of a backpack that a full-height bottle would not enter. The accordion walls expand fully under water pressure and hold shape when filled.
The bottle carries a full certification stack for international retail compliance: FDA (US food contact), LFGB (EU food contact), SGS (third-party material testing), ROHS (restriction of hazardous substances), CE (European safety), ISO9001 (quality management), and BSCI (factory social compliance). Test reports are available on request for market-specific retail compliance documentation.

1. Does the bottle collapse when filled with liquid — or only when empty?
The accordion silicone body collapses and expands freely only when empty. When filled, water pressure inside the bottle holds the silicone walls fully extended at 23.5cm. The bottle does not partially collapse when liquid is present — it holds its full expanded form during use. The collapsible function is for storage when empty, not for adjusting volume during use.
2. Is the tread texture comfortable to hold — does it provide grip?
Yes. The raised tread grooves across the ring sections provide natural finger grip, similar to the function of a textured grip sleeve on a conventional bottle. The silicone tread surface is slightly tacky rather than slick, improving hold when the bottle exterior is wet or when hands are damp from outdoor activity.
3. What is the significance of the appearance patent — can I use this design in my market?
The appearance patent ZL201930315811.4 is a Chinese registered design patent. It protects the visual design of the bottle in China. For buyers distributing in other markets (EU, US, AU, etc.), the patent does not automatically extend — but it confirms the design originality and provides documentation for supplier authenticity. Buyers who wish to pursue design registration in their target market can discuss this with us as part of the OEM relationship.
4. Is the base cap removable for cleaning?
Yes. The chrome alloy wheel base cap is a separate removable piece that fits over the bottle base. Removing it allows cleaning of the bottle bottom and base cap interior. Standard cleaning: rinse the bottle interior with warm water and dish soap, and wipe the base cap separately. The silicone body and PP lid are also dishwasher-safe (top rack).
5. What is the capacity — is 750ml suitable for daily hydration use?
750ml is larger than a standard single-serve bottle (500ml) and covers approximately 3 cups of fluid. It is sized for a half-day outdoor activity or a full gym session without refilling. For comparison: a typical travel mug is 350–500ml; a large sports bottle is 700–1000ml. The 750ml SH-12 sits at the practical high end for a single-carry portable bottle.
6. What is the MOQ for custom color and logo?
Standard color (Coffee / Black / Grey / Red) with logo on packaging: lower MOQ. Custom Pantone silicone color + body logo: higher MOQ. Full custom color + logo + packaging: higher MOQ.
