huggers were formerly created to be used as a marketing device by screen printing a company’s logo and message onto a cylindrical piece of foam.

Bottle koozies started to take shape in more than just a can cooler style, and other supplies than foam were experimented with along with a few, for example neoprene found good results as a bottle cooler. First foam can holders are perhaps probably the most well known sort of bottle koozie and could be found in each the regular thick-foam, freestanding variety and also the thinner, collapsible form. Collapsible bottle koozie are much thinner than normal can can koozies, which make them additional transportable as they might be folded and put into a pocket for travel. Normal can huggers that are heavier will last longer and could be stacked.

Neoprene huggers are available in collapsible can holder style for standard sized and thin cans, and may be created with either solid neoprene or foam/neoprene blends which are lighter weight, but not as lengthy lasting. A number of the can neoprene bottle huggers will fit onto a bottle, but you’ll find specialized bottle bottle koozies made of neoprene that consist of a zipper on the neck to offer for the snuggest fit. Neoprene zipper neck bottle huggers are created with rubber bottoms for the most effective grip. Neoprene slip-on bottle koozies are lacking the zipper, but they are more portable as they may be easily folded up and carried, and they fit on water bottles as well. Glass wrap neoprene can huggers are created to fit on stadium cups as well as other disposable cups in a number of sizes. Nearly all glass wrap bottle huggers are produced without bottoms.

Handmade huggers may be made out of most any material including yarn, tape, or cotton, but the bulk of beneficial bottle huggers are produced with neoprene or foam. Neoprene is the content that wetsuits are made of and are incredibly stretchy. Though foam bottle koozies work just at the same time to maintain your beverage chilly, neoprene is a much more pliable material, making it less difficult to fold up and store in a pocket or even to mail in a little envelope. Neoprene is light in weight and could be personalised with screen printing just as quickly as foam or fabric. Neoprene will maintain your hand from growing cold and your drink from growing comfortable too as any other material, and like any other kind of bottle koozie makes a fantastic party favor or marketing give-away

Where the gumbo’s hot and the men are not!

If you’re in Shiner, Texas, population 2,000, give or take a few, and you brew beer, it’s a good bet you don’t have the marketing budget that compares with the majors.

But as we know, dollars aren’t everything when you have a good beer to talk about, a Texas favorite, and smart idea for stealing a major’s thunder.

The idea came from McGarrah Jessee, Shiner Bock’s agency, which is in Austin, about an hour and 45 minutes north of Shiner and home to one of the greatest of all music festivals, the annual three-day Austin City Limits festival.

The festival is sponsored by Heineken, and for those three days in late September only Heineken and a few other brews are sold.

“We were trying to think of inexpensive and cool ways to get into that arena,” says McGarrah Jessee’s Beau Hanson, art director on the campaign.

What they came up with were koozies, or can coolers, and they produced 10,000 of them. The koozies looked exactly like cans of Shiner. So when a koozie was slipped over a can of another brand it would look as though that person was drinking a Shiner Bock.

As patrons entered the festival, people from the agency were there handing them koozies.

“People love koozies, especially when they’re free,” says Hanson. “I took a bunch down each day, all three days. They were gone in like four minutes, giant boxes, thousands. ”

The effect was what one might imagine. Standing back, looking at the entire crowd, it looked to the whole world like a lot of people were drinking Shiner Bock.

Says a spokesperson for the agency, Eric Webber: “For us it was a perfect fit for Shiner. They have long ties to the music business. Only thing lacking was deep pockets. It was brilliant in its simplicity, cost-effective, and simple to pull off. It fit with the brand and was a little cheeky.”
