Sewn vs Unsewn Can Koozies
Before you start shopping, you’ll need to decide whether you want sewn or unsewn can coolers. Unsewn can coolers are shipped flat and require sewing after embellishing them; while sewn can coolers lay flat to embellish but are ready to use.
Are sewn or unsewn can koozies better? Honestly, it’s up to you. Sewn can koozies can be difficult to heat press, but unsewn can koozies require extra hours and labor.

Outsourcing Bulk Can Koozie Orders
In my opinion, it is not worth it to use your Silhouette or Cricut to make bulk order of can koozies, because it is tie consuming. When you factor in your labor rate, you likely won’t be able to sell the can holders for enough money to cover the time weeding and pressing.
So, should you decline a bulk order? Absolutely not! Instead, outsource it to a screen printer. Let’s look at a couple of examples.
Wedding Favor Bulk Order Example
- Customer Wants: 100 navy blue can holders with a yellow design that reads: “To Have and To Hold… and keep your drink cold. Will & Christine, 20XX”
- Pricing with 24 Hour Wristbands: At the time I checked the pricing, there was a 10% coupon code at the top of the site and free shipping. My order total was $63.
- Profit: You charge the customer $150 and you make $87 for designing the product and having it printed.
Event Bulk Order Example
- Customer Wants: 500 white can koozies with their company logo in blank. They will provide the logo.
- Pricing with 24 Hour Wristbands: Again, using 24 Hour Wristbands for this order, you would pay $165.
- Profit: You could charge your customer $1 each and make $335 for uploading their image and having it printed.
Trademark Concerns: Koozie is Trademarked
As a reminder: When selling koozies, be sure to not use the word “koozie” in your sale listing. Why? It’s trademarked to Norwood Promotional Products, who is very aggressive with trademark violations.
Good alternatives include: can holder, can cooler, sleeve, or coolie.

Hi, I am looking to order can holders and had been looking at 24hour wristband but was put of by the terrible reviews they have on independent review sites. I wondered, have you actually ordered customized holders from them or is it a hypothetical idea. Also if you ordered the blank holders on their site are they neoprene or just foam with jersey covering? Just looking for a good recommendation to put my mind at ease!
Thanks for any info you can give.

I've order several times and so have many, many other Cutting for Business readers. They are foam based.

Thanks for sharing. Beware when buying Robins Egg Blue can coolers from 24hourwristband that they are not the industry standard color but instead an exact match to Neon Blue. Another great place to get them is csdsvinyl.com. They are $.80 each.

eBay is also a great place to buy koozies in bulk, though many of them are preprinted.

Thanks for the info. I'd order gang sheets of the design and just press them. The largest order I had was fr about 50 and I weeded all that vinyl before discovering screen printed transfers.
