"A good stubby holder gets used every weekend for years. Thicker neoprene and a full-colour sublimated print cost a little more, but they're the ones people keep."

Choosing a stubby holder

Listed prices are lower-end "From" prices in our range in November 2026 and usually apply to larger quantities. Your quote shows printing, setup and freight, with extra details available on each product page. Send us your design or your brief, and the ordering process is straightforward. Once we receive it, we handle the rest, including checking specs like width where needed.

Neoprene or foam

Neoprene stubby holders are the standard in Australia. The fabric-covered foam is soft, insulates well and takes a sharp full-colour print, which is why it remains the go-to choice for print quality and everyday use. Thicker neoprene helps keep drinks cold for longer, whether it's water, soft drink or beer, and holds its shape after washing.

Foam stubby coolers cost the least and suit large events where you need thousands. They're lighter and less durable, so they work best for one-off giveaways.

For a gift, an insulated stainless steel stubby holder works like a small esky for a single can or bottle. It costs more and lasts for years.

Listed prices are guide prices only, and final quotes vary with material, print method, quantity, artwork setup and freight. Some listings are bottomless while others use stitched bases, so check each product page for the construction details and dimensions, including width where shown.

With a base, baseless or collapsible

A stubby holder with a base stands up on a table and holds the can from underneath. Quality neoprene styles help keep beer and other drinks cold for longer, and premium options use thicker neoprene. Baseless styles slide over the can, cost less and pack flat. Collapsible styles fold flat with a base, so they fit in an envelope or a welcome pack without taking much room, then tuck into a pocket or drawer when not in use.

Check the fit as well. Standard holders suit 375ml cans and stubbies. Tall slim cans, used for many seltzers and premixed drinks, need a slim can cooler, and some styles have a zip for longnecks and bottles. If you need a hand choosing the right format, matching the holder to the drink size is the simplest place to start.

Printing your stubby holder design

Most stubby holders are printed by dye sublimation, which dyes the design into the fabric. It prints full colour edge to edge with effectively unlimited colour options at no extra cost per colour, so photos, gradients, patterns and detailed images work well, and the print won't crack or peel.

• Sublimation suits full-colour wraps, photos and patterns.
• Screen printing suits 1 or 2 colour logos on foam and some neoprene styles.
• The base can often be printed as well, which is a good spot for a website or a short message.

Design for a wrap. Your artwork runs around the whole holder, so place the business logo where it faces out when someone is holding it, and repeat it on the back for a polished look. Keep text clear of the seam. A vector file (AI, EPS, PDF or SVG) is ideal, and we can supply a template for your stubby holder design. If you only have a JPG or PNG, we can usually redraw your logo.

Prices and quantities

The price per stubby holder falls as the quantity goes up, because setup costs are spread across more units. Full-colour sublimation bonds the ink into the fabric rather than leaving it on top, and it costs the same whether your design has 1 colour or 20. That gives you effectively unlimited print colours on sublimated styles and keeps larger runs affordable.

Most of our hard goods start at 50 units, and some styles go lower. If you need fewer, tell us the quantity anyway and we'll show you which styles suit a small order.

Timing your order

Standard turnaround is 10 to 14 business days from proof approval, and larger bulk orders bring stronger per-unit savings because setup costs are spread across the run. Custom shapes and made-to-order styles take longer, and we'll give you a date with your quote so you know when to expect your order to arrive for the event. Rush jobs are quoted on request.

Stubby holders are most popular in the lead-up to summer, Christmas and footy finals, so brief us by October for December delivery.

Ordering in four steps

1. Send us your logo or design, the quantity, the date you need them and where they're going.
2. Our team will come back with stubby holder options and pricing that fit your budget and timing, and help you narrow things down if you need it.
3. Approve your free digital proof. Nothing goes into production until you do, and any quoted date is the expected dispatch or delivery window once artwork is approved.
4. We produce your order and deliver the finished product Australia-wide, including split deliveries to several sites, with rush jobs available for customers who need them ready for a specific event date.

Crest has supplied branded merchandise to Australian businesses, schools, clubs and events for over 30 years, so we can tell you which styles our clients reorder and which ones to avoid.

Personalised stubby holders for clubs, crews and events

Sporting clubs sell them to members and supporters, and they're a common sponsor item for footy, cricket and bowls clubs. They also work well as fundraising merchandise, including for a fundraiser night where extra money is raised through merchandise sales. If your supplied artwork is incomplete or needs adjustment, our team can help. Trades and mining crews order magnetic styles that stick to a ute or a toolbox. At events and expos, a stubby holder is one of the cheapest giveaways people take home, and our guide to choosing trade show giveaways covers where they fit. They're a practical way to promote a business at local events and reach new customers, and people who keep using them keep seeing your brand.

Businesses add them to staff Christmas packs and client hampers, and breweries, pubs and bottle shops use them as merchandise. Weddings, milestone birthdays and buck's and hen's parties order customised stubby holders too, usually with names, a date and a full-colour design that can feature favourite memories. Guests can use them on the day and keep them afterwards.

Ordering with other products

Stubby holders are often packed with cooler bags, caps and bottle openers for summer events and club packs. See the full drinkware range for bottles, mugs and cups. Tell us what else is in the pack and we'll suggest stubby holders that match the colours.
