Free water bottle SVG files

Blank sides, on purpose

Most people who look for a water bottle file want to put something on it: a child’s name for school, a gym slogan, a reminder to drink. So the sides of these bottles are left plain. The cuts are kept to the cap, a highlight near one edge and a line or two near the base, and the middle is clear. Add your lettering in your cutting software, then cut the bottle and the name from two colours of vinyl, or use the monogram frame, which is open all the way down.

Every bottle is a single piece with thick walls, and the straws are about 4 mm wide when a tumbler is 100 mm tall. Straws and carry loops are the parts that lift first, so burnish them well before you peel the transfer tape. The plastic bottle and the two outlines are the finest designs here: keep those at 60 mm tall or more.

Tumblers as stand-ins

The four tumblers are here because crafters use them for planning. Before you cut vinyl for a real tumbler, place your design on the blank skinny tumbler or the tapered one and check how it sits and how large it should be. A real tumbler is round, so a design that wraps more than about a third of the way round starts to disappear at the edges. The two outlines also print well on order forms and care cards.

How to open the files

• Cricut Design Space: choose Upload, pick the SVG, and add it to the canvas. Set the width you want; the shape is already welded.
• Silhouette Studio: Designer Edition and above open the SVG. The free Basic Edition does not, so open the DXF instead.
• LightBurn, xTool Creative Space and Glowforge: import the SVG, then set the layer to cut, score or engrave.
• Inkscape, Illustrator and Affinity: open the SVG. It is a plain filled path, so you can recolour it, add a stroke or combine it with your own work.
• Printing or sublimation: use the PNG, which has a transparent background.

Each design page lists the file’s narrowest part at seven sizes, so you can tell whether it will survive at the size you plan to cut.
