Slim can coolers (also called koozies) are cut for 12 oz slim cans (seltzers, energy drinks, and canned cocktails), and a custom-printed one costs $0.05 more per unit than a standard can cooler at every quantity: $2.99 each at 100 units down to $0.89 at 10,000. Our slim can cooler is the same neoprene, the same full-color printing, and the same online designer as the standard size, cut on a taller, narrower die.
What fits a slim can cooler
The slim die is made for the tall 12 oz slim can. That covers most of what's in the ice chest at a bachelorette party or on a boat these days:
- Hard seltzers: White Claw, Truly, and the rest of the seltzer shelf
- Canned cocktails: High Noon, ranch waters, canned margaritas and mojitos in the slim format
- Energy drinks: Red Bull, slim-can Monster and Celsius formats
- Sparkling waters in the tall 12 oz can
If your drink is a regular 12 oz can (standard beer and soda), you want the standard can cooler instead, and because neoprene stretches, the standard size also fits most 12 oz bottles. Pouring something else entirely (16 oz tallboys, stubby imports)? Contact us about options before you order.
Why a standard can cooler doesn't work on a slim can
A slim can in a standard can cooler leaves an air gap, and the can cooler slides straight off when someone picks the drink up, so it neither insulates nor stays put. The slim die grips the narrower can the way the standard die grips a beer can: snug enough to hold, stretchy enough to slide on one-handed.
What custom slim can coolers cost
Slim runs $0.05 more per unit than the standard can cooler at every tier. Full-color printing included, plus flat $0.05/unit shipping:
| Quantity | Slim can cooler price |
|---|---|
| 100 | $2.99 |
| 250 | $2.29 |
| 500 | $1.59 |
| 1,000 | $1.29 |
| 2,500 | $1.14 |
| 5,000 | $0.99 |
| 10,000 | $0.89 |
Intermediate tiers show live in the designer, and the price you see at checkout is the full price, with no art fees and no plate charges. The math behind the standard ladder is in our can cooler cost guide.
Where slim can coolers show up
Bachelorette parties run on seltzers. Names, dates, and one good joke print beautifully in a single ink color. Weddings increasingly order a split batch: standard for the beer drinkers, slim for the seltzer side of the bar (same artwork on two dies, and our wedding sayings library works on both). Pool and boat days are slim-can territory outright. And brands launching a canned drink in the slim format use them as the merch that travels with the product.
Designing one takes about five minutes
Pick the slim size in the can cooler designer, choose a color, upload your art or type your text, and the live preview shows the finished can cooler exactly as we print it. Check out online; orders deliver in 3–4 weeks, or in 2–3 weeks with express production at checkout.
