About ION8
Written by the company
ION8 is a British drinkware brand based in Dundee. We make leak-proof water bottles, kids' bottles, travel mugs and flasks — designed so a bottle can go in a bag next to a laptop and stay where you put it. Every bottle in the range is leak-proof. It's the thing we design for first.
Primo — one bottle, three lids
Primo is designed to adapt. Every lid fits every Primo bottle, in every size — Urban for the commute, Revive for training, Roam for the outdoors. Change the lid, keep the bottle.
Triple-wall vacuum insulation with an internal copper coating keeps drinks hot or cold for up to 10 hours, and the outside stays dry — no condensation on a desk or in a bag. Primo won a Red Dot Design Award in 2026. From £29.99, with lids sold separately at £12.99.
Official NBA and NFL bottles
Officially licensed team bottles, built to the same standard as the rest of the range. Same leak-proof lid, same wide opening, in team colours.
We also work with MotoGP and the British & Irish Lions.
Bottles for school
Kids' bottles built for the bag they actually live in. Leak-proof, dishwasher safe, and a wide opening so they can be cleaned properly — not just rinsed. Sizes from 350ml.
Matching lunch bags and slings are available alongside the bottles.
Shop kids' bottles · Lunch bags
Spare parts, not replacements
A worn seal shouldn't mean a new bottle. We stock replacement lids, seals, straws and filters for the current range. ION8 is certified carbon neutral across all operations, and holds a German Design Award and a King's Award.
What to know about ION8
Written by the company
- Leak-proof across the whole range
- Every ION8 bottle, mug and flask is leak-proof. It can go in a bag next to a laptop, a change of clothes or a packed lunch and stay where you put it. It's the thing we design for first.
- Lids, seals and straws sold separately
- A worn seal shouldn't mean a new bottle. We sell replacement lids, seals, straws and filters for the current range, so a bottle can be kept going rather than replaced.
- Hot or cold for hours
- Insulated ION8 bottles use triple-wall vacuum insulation with an internal copper coating. Drinks stay hot or cold for hours, and the outside stays dry — no condensation on a desk or in a bag.
- Bottles for school and lunch bags
- ION8 kids' bottles are built for the bag they actually live in. Leak-proof, dishwasher safe, and a wide opening so they can be cleaned properly. Matching lunch bags and slings are available too.
- One bottle body, three lids
- Primo is our modular range. Every lid fits every Primo bottle in every size, so a straw lid for the commute and a screw top for the weekend work on the same bottle. Lids are sold separately from £12.99.
- Personalised and engraved
- Bottles, travel mugs and flasks can be personalised with a name. These are made to order, so they can't be returned unless faulty.
- Free UK delivery over £40
- UK orders over £40 ship free on Royal Mail Tracked 48, with Tracked 24 available as an upgrade. Europe is free over £60, and the rest of the world over £70.
- Designed in the UK
- ION8 is a British drinkware brand based in Dundee. The Primo range won a Red Dot Design Award in 2026, and ION8 holds a German Design Award from 2024 and a King's Award from 2025.
- Certified carbon neutral
- ION8 is certified carbon neutral across all operations. Products are designed to be reused rather than replaced, which is why spare parts are stocked for the current range.
- Buying from the US
- US customers should order from ion8.com, which carries the core collection and ships domestically. The UK site ships internationally, but shipping costs apply.

Ion8 Urban 35ml
Ion8 Urban 35ml
I really wanted to love this bottle but it failed to be all I hoped it would be.
Upfront, as a drinks holder, it does the job. It keeps cold drinks cold (and although I’ve not used it for such) hot drinks hot. I assume it also holds the stated 350ml, but I’ve not measured it. It’s not leaked on me and its flip-up spout works as expected.
Where it fails for me is on the following fronts. It has a premium price but comes over as somewhat less than premium. It looks, feels and weighs like it’s plastic. Two people I’ve shown it to have immediately said that they thought it was plastic. The paint finish is meh and certainly not premium.
It’s a bit too “fat”. My bad, but I expected it to be Coca Cola can size in girth, but it’s wider (by more than 20mm in circumference) which makes holding it less than as comfortable as I expected it to be.
The presentation is mediocre - No box and just a simple cardboard wraparound label and a sachet of (branded) desiccant inside.
No spare straw or seals, which one might have expected at the price point. On the subject of the straw, in two places on the label it extolls the virtue of the flatter straw and it being anti-wrinkle.
The straw is a perfectly round tube of stainless steel, that I very much doubt would wrinkle even when connected to a motorised vacuum pump!
It’s not even the label being generic - it states that it’s an Urban on it.
Delivery was okay but at least 24 hours later than it should have been.
I’m sorry to say that I cannot really recommend this bottle - There are other similarly sized and specified drinks bottles out there at a more reasonable price.

Highly recommend. Easy to view jewellery online & to order. Delivered in very secure packaging & very quickly. Earrings were presented beautifully in a soft suede wallet. Would definitely buy from Solace Jewellery again.

IO8 Water Bottle 720ml — ★★★★★
I’ve been really happy with this bottle. It keeps drinks properly cold for hours, which is exactly what I wanted for daily use. The design makes it easy and comfortable to drink from — no awkward angles or spills. As a bonus, it fits perfectly in my Mini Cooper SE’s cup holder/door compartment, so it’s become my go-to bottle for driving around. Great combination of function and practicality — highly recommend if you want something that performs well and fits neatly in a car.

Can’t recommend enough
Purchased numerous times, I Can’t fault these bottles, great quality.
No more leaky school bottles and finally a bottle that lasts. I like how I can buy the parts needed instead of replacing with another bottle.
All of us in the house now use these bottles.
My son has swallowing difficulties so the thick straws allows him to drink his thickened fluids perfectly with no struggles. I was surprised that speech and language were not aware of these bottles.
Ion8 you really should promote yourself within the speech and language/Hospital.
Orders are always processed quickly with fast delivery.

Enjoying my new drinks bottles
Very excited to receive my bottles including the 3rd free one. I chose them because all my grandchildren have them. Bottles have been very successful and as you claim don’t leak and even the youngest at two can easily open it to have a drink when they want I’ve found them especially good to use while I’ve had a broken wrist and ankle and need drinks that aren’t going to get knocked over leak in my bag etc.

robust and leak-free
own several of these - robust and leak-free. Had one that leaked from new (bought through amazon), emailed Ion8 customer service directly and Inah sourced a replacement bottle. New bottle is of course leak-free and excellent. Highly recommend the steel personalised bottle, that's the one I carry with me everywhere.
