Custom koozies fill the gap: useful, fun, and budget-friendly at scale.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Double-sided printing doubles your design real estate at minimal cost<\/strong> \u2014 a second-side imprint adds roughly $0.20 per piece for screen printing, making it one of the highest-ROI design decisions you can make for branded or event koozies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"foam-vs-neoprene\">Foam vs. Neoprene: The Material Decision That Changes Everything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The single biggest decision you&#8217;ll make when ordering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/drinkware\/koozie\/722\">custom KOOZIEs<\/a> isn&#8217;t color or design \u2014 it&#8217;s material. Foam and neoprene look nearly identical in a product photo, but they perform differently, print differently, and leave a different impression in someone&#8217;s hand. Getting this right saves you from ordering 300 pieces that guests drop after one use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Foam Can Coolers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Standard foam koozies are made from polyurethane or EVA foam laminated with a polyester shell, typically 3mm thick. They&#8217;re lightweight (5\u201312 grams per unit), collapsible, and the most affordable option in the category. For large-scale budget events \u2014 500+ pieces for a festival, a 5K finish line, or a pub crawl \u2014 foam is your default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Insulation:<\/strong> Keeps drinks cold for approximately 25\u201335 minutes under normal conditions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Print quality:<\/strong> Excellent for 1\u20133 color screen-printed designs; solid blocks, logos, and simple text all print cleanly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Imprint area:<\/strong> Up to 3&#8243;H \u00d7 3.75&#8243;W per side<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Durability:<\/strong> Several months to 1+ years with careful use; prone to compression denting over time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Best for:<\/strong> High-volume budget events, one-time giveaways, large festivals, and charitable fundraisers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Neoprene Can Coolers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Neoprene is closed-cell polychloroprene rubber laminated with polyester or nylon. At 3\u20135mm thickness and 20\u201330 grams per unit, it&#8217;s noticeably denser than foam. Its closed-cell structure makes it hydrophobic \u2014 meaning it resists condensation on the outside \u2014 and it stretches 1.2\u20131.5\u00d7 to fit both standard cans and bottles before snapping back to shape. For weddings, corporate events, and any situation where the koozie represents your brand or the occasion, neoprene is the correct call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Insulation:<\/strong> Keeps drinks cold for 45+ minutes; roughly 35\u201345% longer than foam under identical conditions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Print quality:<\/strong> Superior color vibrancy and detail; handles full-color digital printing and photographic designs with precision<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Imprint area:<\/strong> 3&#8243;W \u00d7 3&#8243;H per side, with clean edge-to-edge results<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Durability:<\/strong> 3+ years with 200+ uses; machine washable (gentle cycle); UV-resistant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Best for:<\/strong> Weddings, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/audience\/business\/employee-gifts\">corporate gifting<\/a>, outdoor events, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/trade-show-signage\/522\">trade shows<\/a>, and premium brand impressions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Side-by-Side Comparison<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Foam<\/th><th>Neoprene<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Material<\/td><td>Polyurethane\/EVA foam<\/td><td>Closed-cell polychloroprene (CR)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Thickness<\/td><td>3mm standard<\/td><td>3\u20135mm (premium 4mm)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weight per unit<\/td><td>5\u201312 grams<\/td><td>20\u201330 grams<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Insulation duration<\/td><td>~25\u201335 minutes<\/td><td>45+ minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Condensation control<\/td><td>Poor (absorbs moisture)<\/td><td>Excellent (hydrophobic)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Stretches to fit bottles<\/td><td>No<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Durability<\/td><td>Months; prone to denting<\/td><td>3+ years, 200+ uses<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Machine washable<\/td><td>Not recommended<\/td><td>Yes (gentle cycle)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Print methods<\/td><td>Screen print, HTV<\/td><td>Screen print, full-color digital, HTV<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wholesale price range<\/td><td>$0.30\u2013$0.50 (500\u20131,000+ qty)<\/td><td>$0.70\u2013$1.20 (500\u20131,000+ qty)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Best for<\/td><td>Budget events, large-scale giveaways<\/td><td>Premium branding, weddings, corporate<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The right choice almost always depends on your event context, not your budget alone. A neoprene koozie at a wedding that guests take home and use for years is a better investment than a foam koozie that ends up on the ground by hour three of the reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Customer Story<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/photos\/cheers-elephant-koozies-at-pbr-fest\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/customink-iotw-east-prod\/images\/13046\/large\/IMG_0781.JPG?1299455507\" alt=\"Cheers Elephant Koozies At PBR Fest T-Shirt Photo\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>&#8220;We ordered the neoprene koozies from CustomInk and couldn&#8217;t have been happier with the result \u2014 easy designing, communication, and shipping made our experience absolutely flawless.

Couples spend an average of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theknot.com\/content\/average-cost-wedding-favors\">$460 on wedding favors<\/a> according to The Knot&#8217;s 2025 Real Weddings Study \u2014 and custom koozies consistently deliver more per dollar than candles, mints, or disposable frames. They&#8217;re useful, they travel well, and guests actually keep them. We&#8217;ve seen couples put their monogram, date, and hashtag on koozies that guests pull out at every cookout for years afterward. That&#8217;s the kind of lasting impression most wedding favors never achieve. (Planning other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/audience\/activities-events\/celebrations\">celebrations<\/a> too? We&#8217;ve got you covered there as well.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Put on Your Wedding Koozie<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most memorable wedding koozies pair a clever phrase with the couple&#8217;s names and date. Keep the text hierarchy simple: the focal point is the phrase or monogram, with names and date as secondary elements. A few time-tested combinations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The classic monogram:<\/strong> Combined last-name initial in a decorative frame (ivy wreath, geometric hexagon, floral ring), with first names and wedding date below. Works on every color and stays elegant years later.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The phrase + names combo:<\/strong> &#8220;To have and to hold, to keep your beer cold&#8221; is the single most popular wedding koozie saying we see. It&#8217;s popular for a reason \u2014 it&#8217;s funny, accurate, and prints beautifully in script font. Other crowd favorites: &#8220;Eat, drink, and be married,&#8221; &#8220;Let love brew,&#8221; and &#8220;Best day ever.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The location anchor:<\/strong> For destination weddings, an outline of the state or city where the ceremony is held grounds the design in memory. Pair it with the couple&#8217;s names and a landmark or landmark-adjacent detail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The hashtag close:<\/strong> Putting your wedding hashtag on the back of the koozie (see double-sided printing below) is one of the most practical design decisions you can make \u2014 guests at the reception see it all evening, which drives real social media activity during and after the event.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Custom illustration:<\/strong> A venue sketch, pet portrait, or hand-lettered script illustration makes the koozie genuinely unique. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/help_center\/how-can-i-get-help-with-my-design\">design experts<\/a> can help turn rough reference images into print-ready artwork at no extra cost.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ordering Tips for Wedding Koozies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Quantity:<\/strong> Order at least one per guest plus 10\u201315% extra. Guests frequently take two or pocket a spare, and you&#8217;ll want some for the wedding party photos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Color matching:<\/strong> We offer 50+ colors, so matching your wedding palette exactly is usually achievable. For champagne or blush palettes, ivory and light pink foam options work well; for classic black-and-white affairs, black with white imprint is hard to beat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Material for weddings:<\/strong> Neoprene for indoor receptions with open bars (elevated presentation, handles fine wine bottles too); foam for outdoor summer weddings where beer and seltzers dominate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Timing:<\/strong> Order 4\u20136 weeks before your wedding date.

But there&#8217;s a catch: the same survey data shows that basic plastic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/drinkware\/water-bottles\/43\">water bottles<\/a> and generic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/drinkware\/tumblers\/407\">tumblers<\/a> have become the most overdone item employees receive, cited by 28% of respondents in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/2026-swag-trends\/\">2026 Swag Trends Survey<\/a> as the item they&#8217;re most tired of getting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Custom koozies fill a genuine gap: they&#8217;re practical, they have real insulation value, and they&#8217;re budget-friendly enough to order at scale for conferences, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/trade-show-booth-design\/\">trade show booths<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/corporate-team-building-ideas\/\">team-building events<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/audience\/business\/employee-gifts\">client appreciation gifts<\/a> without eating the entire merchandise budget. For a broader look at where swag is heading, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/2026-swag-forecast\/\">2026 Swag Forecast<\/a> covers the full picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trade Show Booth Strategy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Koozies work at trade shows because attendees are carrying drinks. A koozie your logo is on goes directly onto their beverage at the booth, gets carried through the convention floor, and becomes an advertisement every time someone at another booth or breakout session glances over. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uprinting.com\/blog\/tradeshow-statistics\/\">Trade show research shows<\/a> that 71.6% of attendees who received a promotional product could recall the company name. For a giveaway that costs less than $2 per unit in quantity, that&#8217;s exceptional reach.<\/p>\n\n<p>For corporate events where the gift needs to feel premium rather than promotional, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/how-to-customize-tumblers\/\">custom tumblers<\/a> from YETI, Stanley, and BruMate step up the occasion &#8212; laser engraving on a name-brand vessel lands differently than a screen-printed foam cooler.\n\n<p>For a broader look at how different drinkware formats fit into a corporate event budget &#8212; with cost-per-impression data across the full category &#8212; see our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/promotional-drinkware-strategy\/\">promotional drinkware strategy<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Logo placement:<\/strong> Center your logo prominently on the front face. Keep it large enough to read at arm&#8217;s length \u2014 minimum 2&#8243; wide for complex logos. If your brand guidelines allow, go full-width. If you&#8217;re still developing your logo or want design inspiration, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/logo-design-ideas\/\">logo design ideas guide<\/a> is a good starting point.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Back side:<\/strong> Use the back for your website URL, QR code linking to a landing page or show special, or a tagline. This is where double-sided printing pays off most clearly \u2014 and if you&#8217;re thinking through your full booth strategy, our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/attract-visitors-to-conference-booth\/\">attracting visitors to your conference booth<\/a> covers how giveaways fit into the bigger picture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Color strategy:<\/strong> Match your brand&#8217;s primary color as the koozie base. If your brand colors include a dark option (navy, black, forest green), use it \u2014 dark koozies with light imprints have higher perceived value than the reverse.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Volume for trade shows:<\/strong> Budget for at least 1.5\u20132\u00d7 the expected booth visit count \u2014 see our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/how-many-giveaways-for-trade-show-where-to-buy-the-bulk-buyers-guide\/\">how many giveaways to order for a trade show<\/a> for the full breakdown. Popular items disappear faster than any pre-show estimate predicts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Corporate Team Building and Internal Events<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For internal events \u2014 company retreats, holiday parties, sales kickoffs, and team-building days \u2014 koozies serve a different function than trade show giveaways. They&#8217;re team unity objects. When 75 people at a company outing are all holding the same branded koozie, it creates a visual cohesion that&#8217;s disproportionate to the cost. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/company-swag-survey\/\">Company Swag Survey<\/a> found that 93% of employees would be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/boost-employee-retention-with-gifting\/\">more likely to stay at their company<\/a> an additional year if they received the right piece of swag \u2014 and 88% said receiving a piece of swag they genuinely liked made them feel more positive about their company overall.<\/p>\n\n<p>For longer events or anything with an active outdoor component, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/how-to-make-custom-water-bottles\/\">custom water bottles<\/a> are a natural pairing &#8212; they handle sustained hydration while koozies cover the bar or cooler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Event-specific design:<\/strong> Include the event name and year \u2014 &#8220;Summit 2026&#8221; or &#8220;Q3 Kickoff&#8221; \u2014 on the front. It transforms the koozie from generic swag into a commemorative item.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Department or team sub-branding:<\/strong> For large companies with multiple departments attending the same event, consider 2\u20133 color variants of the same design, color-coded by team. The inter-department visual differentiation creates conversation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use our group order feature:<\/strong> If you need to ship koozies to remote employees or multiple office locations, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/ink\/group-order-form\">group ordering<\/a> feature handles individual address collection and shipping without requiring you to manage a spreadsheet of addresses manually.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Customer Story<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/photos\/koozies-in-action\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/customink-iotw-east-prod\/images\/51999\/large\/Jul82015Wed023226PM_customink.jpg?1436400633\" alt=\"Koozies In Action custom corporate koozies team building\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>&#8220;I bought these as a team building token for my employees.

Double-sided printing puts a custom design on both panels, so your message is visible regardless of how the koozie is held or set down. A second-side imprint adds roughly $0.20 per piece for screen-printed foam koozies \u2014 which makes it one of the highest-ROI design decisions in the category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Double-Sided Printing Works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/screen-printing-custom-t-shirts\/\">screen printing<\/a>, the koozie is placed on a specialty platen, printed on the first side, then flipped and printed again. Each color requires a separate screen pass; ink is heat-cured at approximately 360\u00b0F for one minute per side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For full-color <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/digital-printing-dtf-dtg-custom-t-shirts\/\">digital printing<\/a> (sublimation), both sides are heat-pressed at 400\u00b0F for 45 seconds each \u2014 the ink bonds permanently with the polyester surface, producing photo-quality results with no additional per-color charges. The print area per side is typically 3&#8243;W \u00d7 3&#8243;H, with a 0.25&#8243;\u20130.5&#8243; margin from all edges to avoid the seam.

As a general benchmark, a standard foam koozie at 50 pieces runs approximately $3\u2013$5 per unit; at 500 pieces, that same unit often drops to under $1.50. Neoprene styles carry a modest premium at every quantity tier but deliver meaningfully better insulation and durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All our pricing includes one imprint color at no extra charge, and our free standard shipping means there are no hidden fees waiting at checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pricing Benchmarks by Quantity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Quantity<\/th><th>Foam (Est.

Visit the product page and adjust quantity to see your exact per-unit cost \u2014 the price updates in real time as you change the quantity field.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Affects the Final Price<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Quantity:<\/strong> The largest driver of per-unit cost. Increasing from 50 to 100 units typically cuts per-unit cost by 25\u201340%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Color count:<\/strong> Each additional ink color adds a screen and a print pass. A 1-color design is the most cost-effective; full-color digital eliminates per-color charges entirely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Second-side imprint:<\/strong> Adds approximately $0.20\u2013$0.35 per piece for screen printing; included in the base price for full-color sublimation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rush production:<\/strong> If your event is in under two weeks, rush options are available for an additional fee. Standard delivery takes approximately 2 weeks with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/help_center\/delivery-options\">free shipping<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bulk discounts:<\/strong> For orders of 1,000+ pieces or recurring orders, contact our team to discuss <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/tools\/wholesale-t-shirts-sweatshirts\">bulk pricing<\/a> options.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much to Charge If You&#8217;re Reselling Koozies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re ordering custom koozies to sell \u2014 at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/custom-merch-bars-cafes\/\">bar, a brewery, a boutique<\/a>, or a community fundraiser \u2014 the math works in your favor. A neoprene koozie that costs you $3.50 at 100-piece pricing commonly retails for $8\u2013$15 depending on the market. Fundraising organizations often set prices at $5\u2013$10, with a $3\u2013$7 margin per unit. For branded merchandise at small businesses, $12\u2013$18 is a typical retail window. Quality is the price anchor: a well-made neoprene koozie with a strong design justifies a higher retail price than a thin foam piece, and customers at events can feel the difference immediately when they pick it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href='https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/drinkware\/koozie\/722' class='eckosc eckosc_button font_alt eckosc_button_size_standard eckosc_button_position_inline' style='background-color:#1e39d2;' target='_blank'' data-color='#1e39d2'>Shop Custom KOOZIEs<\/a>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"frequently-asked-questions\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: How far in advance should I order custom koozies for my event?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plan for at least 2 weeks from order to arrival with our free standard shipping. For weddings or conferences where timing is critical, we recommend ordering 4\u20136 weeks out to allow time for a proof review and any adjustments. Rush production options are available if you&#8217;re working with a tighter window \u2014 visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/help_center\/delivery-options\">delivery options page<\/a> for current turnaround times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Is there a minimum order for custom koozies?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minimum quantities vary by product and style. Many of our koozie styles have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/products\/no-minimum\/view-all\/491\">no minimum order requirement<\/a> \u2014 you can order as few as one. Check the specific product page for minimums, as they vary. That said, ordering in higher quantities drops the per-unit cost considerably, so if your event allows it, bundling up saves money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Can I get help designing my koozie if I don&#8217;t have a logo or artwork ready?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/help_center\/how-can-i-get-help-with-my-design\">design experts<\/a> are available by phone, chat, or email to help you build a design from scratch or refine artwork you&#8217;ve already started \u2014 at no extra charge. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/ndx\/\">Design Lab<\/a> also includes hundreds of koozie-specific templates covering weddings, events, sports, business, and more. You can customize any template with your own text, colors, and uploaded images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: What&#8217;s the difference between screen printing and digital printing on koozies?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/screen-printing-custom-t-shirts\/\">Screen printing<\/a> uses a mesh stencil for each ink color, making it the most cost-effective method for 1\u20133 color designs in large quantities. Colors are rich and opaque, and the results are durable. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/digital-printing-dtf-dtg-custom-t-shirts\/\">Digital printing<\/a> (our britePix\u00ae process) uses full-color inkjet or sublimation technology with no screen setup, which means unlimited colors at a flat rate \u2014 ideal for photography, gradients, multi-color logos, and designs where screen printing would require 4+ color separations. For most simple event koozies, screen printing is the right call. For complex branded artwork or photo designs, britePix\u00ae delivers better results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Can I use a photo on my custom koozie?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. The Full Color Photo Can Cooler is built specifically for this. Upload a photo directly in the Design Lab, and our britePix\u00ae full-color digital process reproduces it with excellent clarity and color accuracy on the koozie face. Photo koozies are popular for memorial events, wedding favors featuring engagement photos, and branded merchandise with team or event photography. For best results, use a high-resolution image (minimum 300 DPI) with good contrast \u2014 images with dark backgrounds and well-lit subjects reproduce most cleanly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Can members of my group pay separately for their own koozies?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/ink\/group-order-form\">group order feature<\/a> allows each person to pay for their own items individually and specify their own shipping address. This works especially well for distributed teams, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/blog\/hybrid-remote-employee-recognition\/\">remote employees<\/a> receiving event swag, or any situation where collecting individual payments manually would be a logistical headache. You set the design and parameters; everyone else handles their own transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: What file format should I upload for my koozie design?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Design Lab accepts PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, and PDF file formats for uploaded artwork. For screen printing, vector files (uploaded as PDF or high-res PNG at 300 DPI or above) produce the cleanest separations. For full-color digital or photo printing, high-resolution JPG or PNG at 300\u2013600 DPI gives you the best output. If your file isn&#8217;t quite right, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customink.com\/help_center\/how-can-i-get-help-with-my-design\">design experts<\/a> can often clean up artwork during the order review process at no charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to start designing?
