FAQs
Design & Artwork
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) are best for the sharpest results. High-resolution PNG or JPG files also work well, provided they're clear and at least 300 DPI at the final print size.
What is vector artwork?
Vector files are created using paths rather than pixels, which means they can be scaled to any size without losing quality. This gives you sharper prints and cleaner results compared to raster images like JPG or PNG.
Can you fix or set up my artwork?
We offer a "Make My File Print Ready" service that includes resizing, adding bleed, and preparing your file for production — with no changes to your actual artwork. If your design needs modifications or corrections, please contact us for a custom quote.
Will I see a proof before printing?
When placing your order, you'll select whether you have print-ready files, need file setup assistance, or need a new file created. Based on your selection, you'll see how many design proofs are included. If you have print-ready artwork and request a proof, we'll send you a digital proof for approval. We won't make adjustments to your artwork unless you've selected one of our file setup options. If your file isn't set up correctly, we'll notify you before proceeding.
What is a proof?
A proof is a digital preview of exactly how your stubby cooler will look when printed. It shows the final design, colours, and layout wrapped around the cooler, allowing you to review and approve everything before production begins.
When will I receive my proof?
Your proof will be emailed within 24–48 hours of placing your order. Please check your junk mail folder in case it's filtered there. If you haven't received it within this timeframe, contact us directly. No work will move into production until the proof is approved via return email.
What if my logo or image isn't high enough quality?
We'll assess your file and let you know if the quality is suitable for printing. If your artwork is too low resolution, we'll advise you and may be able to help recreate or source a better quality version for a small fee.
Materials & Printing
Stubby coolers are made from premium neoprene — the same flexible, insulating material used in wetsuits. Neoprene provides superior insulation to keep drinks cold, is comfortable to hold, and is highly durable for long-term everyday use.
What printing method is used?
Stubby coolers are printed using full colour dye sublimation. Unlike surface printing, dye sublimation embeds the ink directly into the neoprene material under heat and pressure, producing vibrant, photo-quality results that won't fade, crack, or peel with regular use.
How durable is the print?
Because dye sublimation embeds the ink into the material itself rather than applying it on top, the print is permanent and extremely durable. It won't fade, crack, peel, or wash off with normal use and cleaning.
What size drinks do these fit?
These stubby coolers are designed to fit most standard 375ml cans.
What is the shark skin base?
Each stubby cooler features a specially designed non-slip shark skin textured base that keeps your can stable on flat surfaces and prevents slipping. It also provides an extra layer of insulation between the can and the surface.
How are the edges finished?
Each stubby cooler is finished with stitched edges for a clean, durable result that holds its shape and appearance with regular use.
Can I put stubby coolers in the dishwasher?
We recommend hand washing stubby coolers to maintain the best appearance over time. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying as this may affect the neoprene material and print quality over time.
Production Times & Shipping
Stubby coolers have a production time of 7–14 business days from artwork upload or approval. If you have an urgent requirement or a large order, please contact us directly to discuss your timeline.
Can you rush my order if it's urgent?
Yes! Please contact us directly to discuss your timeline and we'll do our best to accommodate your needs.
Who do you use for shipping?
We use local couriers for all stubby cooler deliveries, ensuring reliable and trackable shipping across Australia.
How long will delivery take once my order ships?
Delivery times depend on your location and the courier service used. You'll receive tracking information once your order is dispatched.
If I order multiple different products will my entire order arrive together?
If you order multiple different products, they may be dispatched separately as each item is completed. This means you might receive your order in multiple packages at different times. Each dispatch will be sent with tracking information so you can monitor all your deliveries.
