Kinds of Stubby Holder

There are many different kinds of stubbies but I want to clear a few things up. The main types floating around at the moment are.

• Sublimation Printed stubby holder - Full colour
• Screen Printed Stubby Holder - You pay for each colour
• Heat transfer Stubby Holder - full colour but not a long life as the transfer wears off.

based on these three basic styles of getting your design onto the wetsuit rubber, there are the variations of cut or shape. Stubby Holders come in various shapes.

• Normal - for standard size stubby or can
• Slim - for boutique beer or alcopop
• Zipper - with a zip all the way to the top like a jacket
• Wraparound - with velcro or other method or attaching a flat piece of rubber together.

all of these come at different prices and have different life times. The best thing to do is really understand what you want to use your stubby holder for and how long you want it to last.

a wrap around stubby with a heat transfer design might be great for a promotional item at a sports giveaway, cheap and short life, but if you want a stubby that lasts, you need to go for something more like a traditional stitched and glued sublimation printed stubby holder. The design will last as long as the rubber and it wont fall apart after a few uses.

so the next time you want to get some stubby holders, think about the end use you want them for.
