Materials for Can Coolers
Two common materials for can coolers are scuba foam and neoprene, each with its own set of characteristics:
Foam Can Coolers: Known for their strong insulating capabilities, foam can coolers are thicker than neoprene, making them a standard and popular option. Custom foam can coolers are available in various colors, collapsible for convenience, and provide an affordable choice for keeping beverages cold. |  |
Neoprene Can Coolers: Neoprene, the same material used for wetsuits, offers reliability, high quality, and durability. Custom neoprene can coolers are known for their elasticity, providing a snug fit for cans, bottles, wraps, wine totes, and more. They excel in wicking moisture and are a great long-lasting option. |  |
Choosing Neoprene vs. Foam
Neoprene stands out for its moisture-wicking capabilities and natural elasticity, giving it a stretchier quality compared to foam.
