I was thinking that some people think that price is the only deciding factor in the stubby holder or cooler. I have been thinking about this as for those of us in the industry who make them locally in Australia this is the main point of contention. What dawned on me is that because our quality is better, the stubbies have a longer life. So if your looking at getting 100 stubbies for your business, then think about this. From us they are $3.70 each and delivered in 2 weeks. From China they are 1/3 less and take 8 weeks to arrive. That’s not the decider though. If you took the fact we double stitch the seams, overlock top and bottom and use a superior glue in the base. Whats this all mean. We cant be sure of the exact percentage longer our would last but, after apply the dog test, we found we still have stubbies of ours in the backyard with a base in them from 1 year ago. Compare this to a heat taped seam…. the stubby would not be recognisable. So if your looking for the investment value, then our stubbies will last easily longer than twice that of any off shore stubby holder. We cant obviously prove this without funding from the CSIRO, but if your spending money on your business for promotional items, your best going with quality. This will give your logo a longer life in the house or office of the recipient.
With the love of our lives, the common stubby cooler, holder or Koozie, we are endevouring to find out more about where this humble item came from. This is part 1 of the adventure as we delve into the murky depths of an ice cold beer. 🙂
Known as the Beer Koozie in the USA, the stubby holder has origins from a company who trademarked the name Koozie in 1979 in Texas. Originally designed as a drink cooler out of styrofoam, over the year stubby holders or koozies have developed into using other materials. The most common material currently is Neoprene, commonly know as wet suit rubber. This rubber, is a synthetic material and as such is able to have ink impregnated into it using a process called heat sublimation. Using specially designed inks, to deal with the temperature change, the result is the ability to print full colour images onto what was original white wet suit rubber.
The idea behind the stubby cooler, is to keep the drink insulated. The first developer saw a niche for a product to be used in warmer climates and as such the koozie is now common in many western countries with warm climates. Because of the simplicity of the design, cylinder with a base, the stubby holder has become a bit of a cult item of most Australian Men. They are found in their favourite drinking locations, be it their local bar or shed out the back, but the real growth has come with companies realising the advertising potential of the space.
