Which Nice Classification Class Is a Water Bottle or Flask In?

Reusable water bottles, insulated flasks, and tumblers fall under Class 21, which covers household and kitchen utensils and containers — the same class as cookware, glassware, and drinkware.

What Class 21 covers here

This includes steel and insulated flasks, plastic water bottles, sports bottles, and tumblers, regardless of the specific material. Class 21 is broad enough to cover drinkware generally, whether it's a everyday plastic bottle or a premium insulated flask.

What this doesn't include

Packaged drinking water — the water itself, sold sealed in a bottle as a beverage product — is a different classification entirely, falling under Class 32 with other beverages. A brand selling both reusable bottles (Class 21) and bottled drinking water (Class 32) as separate product lines would need both classes, even though "water bottle" describes both in everyday language.

If your brand sells drinkware alongside other kitchenware or lifestyle products, the Nice Classification Finder can help sort a mixed product range. See our Nice Classification guide for the complete list of all 45 classes.
