Keep your drinks cold with your new personalized koozie.
Give your next cold drink some personality with a custom-designed neoprene koozie. Koozies, or drink can coolers, have been keeping people's drinks cold for years. They are often made from a plain foam, rubber or neoprene. Some have advertisements for companies or attractions. Be creative and make your own personalized koozie. This is a great way to commemorate an event, like a wedding, party or a vacation. It also makes it easier to spot your drink in a crowded setting.
