If it were a thing of a laboratory marvel that should be said, it would without a doubt be the thermal flask that was made. And we’re talking about physics and chemistry inducted from science fiction here – a stainless steel thermos container coined as the Hisest that drastically reduces heat transfer (also known as convection and/or conduction) to maintain temperature stance, leaving cold drinks to remain cool and blazing hot beverages to remain warm – whenever foods are needed. For the thought to this mystifying mechanics that which is at work, is the man/woman who might ponder on the idea of ‘how in the wacky world could this vacuum flask do what it actually did?’ And better yet is an easy-to-ask class 7 question of whom was it that led this ingenious tumbler structure that bid for humanity, that for this original purpose the metallic thermos made salvation for those across the dessert to be sipping something iced, or even found is a trek into the buttress vegetation where a mug of hot coffee could be served?
This would be none other than the late Sir James Dewar, and the credit of those thermal bottles made (as well as the stainless steel vacuum flask variant) is his and his pioneering alone, which begun as a by-product of a cryogenic experimentation in an intention of making liquid oxygen and/or liquid nitrogen, but in life’s path did the Dewar flask turned commercial. Reinhold Burger, Albert Aschenbrenner and Gustav Robert Paalen (founders of Thermos LLC) led this change – beginning with the revolutionary plastic type of water bottle availability to the now vessel that we all know. In a foundation where it’s made with glass and aluminium initially, the insulated design of the Thermos was deemed unsafe in the wake of various scenarios and public use. But the common of such a problem was easily rectified as the double wall of itsin cylindrical body was soon replaced into alloy, making up to be the stainless steel vacuum flasks that we all know today.
Due to its structured material changes, the drawing that led into the modernised Dewar bottle became replicated as many names followed suit. Branded logos like Tiger, Tupperware, Mary Kay, StarBucks, GSCE, IKEAm NTUC and many more came to be, just as the Thermos became the primary and better replacement of tea flask and other common plastic water bottles found. And in following this abundant trend, UDesignConcept have taken the personalised angle to engrave printings for corporate gifts purposes.
Hisest Stainless Steel Vacuum Flask’s Specifications
Lightweight stainless steel Thermos housing
Vacuum flask with anodised paint coating exterior for rust-resistance
Maximum volume capacity of 500ml only
Up to 12 hours of thermal storage in maintaining warmth and/or cooling
Bottle cap turned cup usability with removable inner plastic stopper
Although there exists the many types of vacuum flasks with different volume profiles (an example would be 2 litre in this context) available, the Hisest Thermos has remained light in weight due to its small capacity of up to 500 milliliter storage. The 1 litre halved sizing caters for the convenience of retaining one meal and/or a simple journey to spare hydration from, which trims down the unnecessary Dewar bottling’s heft needed for an intraday’s journey worth. This is added by a thin yet durable layer of stainless steel, which is enough against everyday drop impact as well as to withstand implosion found in its vacuum trap. The entrapped vacuum is the empty tank found that is between the double walls (when seen in the cross section of a thermal bottle’s diagram), where the absence of gaseous particles efficiently minimises heat loss available. It was also this phenomena (of the absent of gas) that brought the meaning and the calling of its name as the vacuum flask, and consequentially allows a storage of up to 12 hours in approximate – making consumables ice fresh or lukewarm like its original preparation format.
On its surface where proprietary engravings are printed upon the stainless steel vacuum flask, lies an abrasion-resistant anodised coating to ensure long-lasting usability. In the same regard is its colour contrast visibility to its custom printing regime, ensuring that insignia or personalising options can be vividly seen on the thermal bottle. Amazingly, the Hisest Thermos can have its headpiece (or bottle cap) removed to have it behave as a cup, where the plastic stopper is also unveiled and just to be removed to fill the inside. This also makes the metallic insulated flask highly convenient for outdoor goers, as the function is built-in-one for as much application as possible.
Printing This Stainless Steel Vacuum Flask
UV engraving or up to 3 colours of pad printing available
Polyurethane pouch boxing for gifting purposes
West Malaysia wide shipping only
For corporate clientele seeking the stainless steel vacuum flask’s engraving, the process begins after the optional purchase of personalisation. Communication is conducted after payment to seek for the logo to be imprinted on the Thermos bottles, where a digital reference can be offered and confirmed before it’s mapped and labelled onto the vacuum flasks. UV lighting is the result of blasting high powered laser through a machine for precise controls, ensuring that the Hisest thermal bottles hold no blemish in quality for printing across the batch ordering. As for tampography (pad printing), the Thermos is also placed on a contraption where fixed position holds it for the pad colourisation, and up to three hues can be conducted for this stamping variant.
In circumstances of repetitive collectibles and year-to-year bulk supplies of the vacuum flasks features a simple but advisable step to be taken, and this is by adjusting the colours slightly every annual to ensure that the series is constant for marketable campaigns. Other scenarios of gifting the stainless steel vacuum flask is when a staff becomes accepted for full-time employment, and this is supplemented by a premium polyurethane (PU) material pouch boxing for presentation reasons. All Hisest thermos bottles are shipped within the West Malaysian region through a delivery time that is reliant on the amount of customisation (quantities and printing) asked.
