Description
CoHub supplies bottled drinking water in 500ml bottles, shrink-wrapped in trays of 24, to businesses across the UAE. The minimum order is 20 shrinks, which is 480 bottles, and quantities rise in steps of 5. It suits office pantries, meeting rooms, reception fridges and site crews in Dubai and the other emirates, priced by a sales expert and paid cash on delivery.
A shrink of 24 half-litre bottles is the unit almost every UAE pantry and site store runs on. One shrink is 12 litres and weighs about 12kg, which is what one person can carry from the lift to the pantry without a trolley. Twenty shrinks, the minimum here, is 480 bottles and 240 litres. Above that you order in steps of five, so 25, 30, 35, and the film-wrapped trays stack squarely on a pallet.
Offices order it for meeting rooms, reception fridges and desk drops. Facilities and HSE teams order it for crews, particularly through the summer midday break window from mid-June to mid-September when outdoor work stops in the middle of the day. A 40-person office at two bottles a head gets through roughly three shrinks a day, about 15 a week. A contractor with 60 men on a Dubai site moves far more and needs a shaded, ventilated store rather than a yard stack in the sun.
Sold by the shrink of 24, minimum 20 shrinks, then in steps of 5, with volume tiers lowering the unit price as shrink count rises and pallet quantities quoted by the sales desk. Confirm the brand and the label marking with them before a tender-linked or audit-linked order. A sales expert reviews and prices every order, a proforma comes first, prices exclude 5% VAT shown separately, payment is cash on delivery, and your UAE Tax Invoice is issued after the order is paid and packed. Delivery is across the UAE.

Buyer questions about this item
What is the smallest order and how does it step up?
Twenty shrinks, which is 480 bottles and 240 litres. Above that you order in steps of five, so 25, 30, 35 shrinks and onwards. For a 40-person office drinking two bottles a head per day, twenty shrinks covers a little over a working week. Ask the sales desk about pallet quantities if you are stocking a site store.
How should we store water through the summer?
Keep trays indoors or in shade, off hot concrete, and out of direct sun. Heat and sunlight affect taste over time and soften the shrink film. Never store bottles beside paint, fuel, solvents or strong cleaning chemicals, because PET picks up odours. Rotate stock so the oldest trays go out first, and check the best-before date printed on the bottle.
Can we buy fewer than 20 shrinks?
Twenty shrinks is the minimum on this line and it moves in steps of five above that. If your consumption is lower, ask the sales desk to combine water with cups, coffee or pantry cleaning items in one delivery. Volume tiers lower the unit price as shrink count rises, so consolidating a month of use usually costs less per bottle.
Which brand of water will we receive?
Stock rotates, so confirm the brand with the sales desk before you order, especially if a tender, a client site or an audit ties you to one label. Ask them to confirm the label and marking on the batch in stock. If you need the same brand every month, say so on the order and it can be quoted as a standing line.
How is it delivered and what paperwork comes with it?
Trays are delivered across the UAE, same-week on stocked lines with same-day options in Dubai. Tell us the floor and whether there is lift access, because 20 shrinks is roughly 240kg. A proforma comes first, you pay cash on delivery, and the UAE Tax Invoice with your TRN follows once the order is paid and packed.
