My mate recently had his 21st birthday and it was a really good night. All the boys wanted to get him a fun novelty gift that he could keep and look back on that reminded him of all the fun we’ve had together over the years, and decided something practical that he could keep would be best. Something we all use and often need is a quality stubby holder, especially as summer rolls around and we want to keep our beers cool, so we looked into getting custom printed stubby holders.
21st birthday are meant to be fun, but also a bit of a roast for the birthday boy. We knew we wanted our stubby holder to be funny, but also appropriate for his mum to look at. We sifted through all the embarrassing photos we could find and made a collage with 5 of his best and had them custom printed onto a stubby holder.
It was so simple, all we had to do was pick a colour, submit the photos, and then choose some text to match and mark the date. It turned out looking amazing! We presented it to him during the speeches and it received a huge laugh from everyone, including the birthday boy and he still proudly uses his 21st birthday stubby holder at barbecues and camping trips.
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.
