Sports Clubs - Personalisation

Sports clubs do tend to us the humble stubby holder as a promo item. The stubby can be a good way of team building with the nickname of each player on each stubby holder.

Personalization is a common thing with people wanting the names of all their teams on the stubby, or just numbers on the back. This also helps when people are drinking with all the same design, you can tell which drink is your by the number/name on the stubby holder.

History of Stubby Holders

See Wikipedia for the full history, but here is a brief summary.

It began as a marketing tool. The primary use of a beer koozie/cooler is to keep one's hand warm while keeping the beer cold. They are a very good business card tool, as while someone might lose your business card, the idea of having a function to the stubby means people are inclined to keep them and use them, giving more life to your logo and business on the outside. (or to remember the big bucks night your mate had!)

Quality Stubby Holders

The Quality of a Stubby Holder is all based on the way its made. Stitching is part of this with some companies choosing to glue the seams while others prefer to stitch, and then some use an adhesive tab. In short, most people want their stubby holder to last as long as possible, so crappy wraparound stubbies are pointless, glues seams last a while but stitched seam to last longest. Here is a link to a stubby holder provider who uses stitched seams.
