Looking for custom koozies?
Koozie is the word most people use for a can cooler, so if you searched for custom koozies, this is the page. Ours are neoprene can coolers printed in full color with your logo, names or artwork, designed on screen and ordered online at a published price.
What you get with a Reel48 custom can cooler
Every can cooler we make is cut from neoprene (the stretchy, wetsuit-style fabric) rather than the thin collapsible foam that most giveaways are made of. Neoprene insulates better, holds its shape through coolers and tailgates, and holds saturated full-color printing. It is the difference between a favor that goes home and a favor that gets left on the table.
The print is full color, and full color is the only option. There is no per-color pricing to decode and no art, plate, or proof fees. A photograph, a gradient, a four-color logo and a single line of white text all cost the same per unit. The die folds at the base disc into a front panel and a back panel, and artwork can go on either, so a company can put its logo on one side and its phone number or website on the other.
Most custom can cooler companies make you upload artwork, wait for a sales rep, and approve an emailed proof days later. At Reel48 the online designer shows your logo, text, and colors on the can cooler exactly as we will print it, in real time. You approve your own design the moment it looks right, and production starts as soon as you check out.
How much do custom can coolers cost?
Custom can coolers from Reel48 cost $2.94 each at 100 units and $0.84 each at 10,000 units for a standard can, with a slim can $0.05 more at every break. This is our real price list for full-color printing on neoprene, no magnet. The designer prices off these same tiers.
| Quantity | Standard can | Slim can |
|---|---|---|
| 100+ | $2.94 | $2.99 |
| 250+ | $2.24 | $2.29 |
| 500+ | $1.54 | $1.59 |
| 1,000+ | $1.24 | $1.29 |
| 2,500+ | $1.09 | $1.14 |
| 5,000+ | $0.94 | $0.99 |
| 10,000+ | $0.84 | $0.89 |
Prices are per can cooler. Quantities between breaks price at the lower break, so 250 units and one more both pay the 250-unit rate. Shipping is a flat $0.05 per unit anywhere in the United States, shown separately at checkout rather than folded into the unit price, so the ladder above is comparable with any quote you have in hand.
A worked example: a 250-guest wedding orders 250 standard can coolers at $2.24. That comes to $560.00 for the units plus $12.50 shipping, $572.50 all in. Rounding up to the next break often costs little and leaves spares, which go faster than anyone expects.
A bottle-opener magnet is an add-on: about $1.00 per unit at 100 units and about $1.70 per unit at 10,000. The add-on grows with volume as the can cooler itself gets cheaper. The minimum order is 100 units, and the full ladder with magnet pricing is shown live in the can cooler designer.

Cheap custom can coolers vs. cheap-looking ones
If you are searching for cheap custom can coolers, here is the honest version. Ours drop under a dollar at 5,000 units ($0.94 each) and bottom out at $0.84 at 10,000. The way we get there is volume and a simple product line (neoprene, full-color print, two dies), not a thinner sleeve.
There are also no fees around the unit price: no art fee, no plate fee, no proof fee. Artwork costs nothing extra. You place your design in the online designer, and the live preview is the proof. Full color is the only option, so there is no per-color pricing to decode. The number in the table is the number at checkout, plus $0.05 per unit to ship it.
The cheap-looking can cooler is a different product: collapsible foam. Foam creases, fades, and tears at the seams, which is why it reads as disposable and gets treated that way. Neoprene costs more to make, and we think it is the only version worth putting a name or a logo on. Our neoprene vs. foam comparison goes into the material in detail.
When you compare quotes, compare the whole number. Many suppliers quote a low unit price, then add art fees, plate or screen charges, proof fees, and shipping at checkout. Before you pay, our checkout shows the full price: units plus $0.05 per unit shipping. If a comparison quote is close to ours at 100 units, check what it leaves out.
What you can customize
Customizable can coolers mean more than a logo dropped on a blank. Everything below is set in the designer and shown in the live preview before you order.
- Can cooler color. Start from 6 preset colors or type any hex value to match a brand guide or a wedding palette. The live preview shows it in that color exactly as we will make it.
- Standard or slim die. Pick the standard can for a regular 12 oz can or the slim can for a 12 oz slim (sleek) can, like seltzers and energy drinks. The print area changes with the die and the preview updates with it. See the sizes below.
- Full-color artwork, photos included. Upload up to 5 images per design as PNG, JPEG, SVG files of up to 12 MB each. Vector files (SVG) stay crisp at any size; a high-resolution photo prints as a photo. Fine detail softens slightly on neoprene fabric, so a bold, tightly cropped image beats a busy full-scene shot. Have an AI, EPS or PDF? Upload it and place the box where it goes, and we'll put your logo there and email you a proof before we print.
- Text. Add names, a date, a hashtag, a tagline or a phone number in any of 7 built-in fonts, or upload up to 3 of your own font files so the print matches your invitation or your brand typeface.
- Front and back panels. The die folds at the base disc into a front and a back panel, and the designer lets you place artwork on either: the couple's names on the front and the wedding date on the back, or a brewery's logo on one side and its tasting-room address on the other. Artwork on the back panel prints upside down unless it is rotated about 180° first, which the designer shows you.
- Bottle-opener magnet. An optional bottle-opener magnet, chosen in the designer as an add-on for about $1.00 more per unit at 100 units.
Sizes: Standard vs. slim can coolers
We make 2 dies. The dimensions below are the print panel and the base disc as cut. The designer traces the same geometry on screen, so what fits the preview fits the can cooler.
| Die | Fits | Print panel (W × H) | Base disc |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard can | Regular 12 oz can | 4.22" × 4.03" | 2.88" diameter |
| Slim can | 12 oz slim (sleek) can, like seltzers and energy drinks | 3.69" × 5.75" | 2.52" diameter |
The standard can is the classic beer and soda can shape, and because neoprene stretches it fits most same-size bottles too. The slim can is taller and narrower for the sleek cans that seltzers, energy drinks and canned cocktails come in. A slim can in the standard die leaves an air gap and slides off when the drink is picked up, so it neither insulates nor stays put. That is why the two are separate products rather than one compromise.
Ordering for a mixed cooler? Split the order between the two dies. Each die is its own product with its own ladder, and the slim die is $0.05 more per unit. If you need something else for a specific event or product, contact us about options before you order.
