Stubby Holders

Stubby Holders! I know, to you, it is just something to keep your drink cold. You might even collect them, or know somebody who does. The Stubby Holder is not just something to keep beer cold; to Wetsuit Coolers it is an obsession.

We have an obsession that has taken us on a journey to find the right neoprene, stitching, glue and printing materials. This has lead to an obsession with paper, ink and heat to create a stubby holder that we are happy to put our name on.
We now are using sublimation inks on our stubby holders, and it has taken some time and effort to perfect the technique. We have chosen Roland printers for our printers, which give great results, plus they handle the bulk ink systems for sublimation exceptionally well.
Running CMYK Sublimation Inks, we have developed the techniques to be able to print anything we like on stubby holders, which is a far better system for us than the old Screen Printing techniques from the past.

We can now create stubby holders for customers with photographs on them, as well as logos, text in any color the customer can think of. Wetsuit Coolers were one of the first in Australia to use the sublimation inks on stubby holders, so we pretty much had to keep trying until we perfected the technique.

Once printed on paper, the image is then heat pressed onto white neoprene of the best quality we could find. The transfer from ink, to neoprene was also a technique we had to perfect, with the focus on timing and temperature. The heat pressing component is important for color transfer to be accurate, to match with clients pantone colors.
Once heat pressed the stubby holders are then stitched, glued and packed by hand ready to be shipped straight to the clients’ front door.
