Design Tips from Our Experts –

We have an amazing crew of myKoozie creators that hand make every one of your drinking accessories. Here are a few tips they found to make the best product. This way, you will know the best practices for designing!

• Avoid thin and hard-to-read script font. For text that shows up clear and concise, stick to regular or bold type font. If your chosen font is too small, it can be subject to change. This way, we can ensure you are 100% happy with the final product!
• For designs using images, stick to high-quality photos with high resolution.
• Be mindful of you chosen text color and Koozie® cooler color. If the colors are too similar, your customization will be hard to see. For example, if you choose red text, it is best to avoid a red Koozie® drink cooler.

If you are still having trouble creating your design or have questions, we are here to help! We have an entire team dedicated to assisting you. Contact us through chat or phone. For all other questions involving your order you can check out our FAQ page!
